He/him pronouns. Product of the 80s. I like noir, horror, soul music, rock and roll, a bunch of other stuff.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

Good thing most human beings aren't as dumb as Sam Altman or we'd have long ago extincted ourselves
Jimmy Fallon: "And do you use ChatGPT when raising your baby?"
Sam Altman: "I cannot imagine figuring out how to raise a newborn without ChatGPT."

I'm not saying life is a vicious circle. But it may be a cruel rhombus. Or a callous trapezoid. At the very least, life is a bloodthirsty parallelogram

I worked for Frank Gehry. Because of him, I went to The Simpsons Halloween party, had a key to the Disney Concert Hall, met amazing artists. Frank was wonderful to me. When I left his office, he said you'll do big things, just try to stay out of politics. Sorry, Frank. Your memory is a blessing ❤️

the Comet Ping Pong attack was nine years ago today—weeks after Trump’s 2016 win—and inspired by a conspiracy theory promoted by Jack Posobiec, who was recently invited to the White House, demands antifa be designated a terrorist group, and asked questions as “press” at the Pentagon this week

A lot of suicide attempts, especially among young people, are impulsive, which means that throwing up even temporary obstacles can save lives. It's not true that everyone who gets advice on how to kill themselves from an LLM would have figured it out anyway. These tools are causing avoidable deaths.
I am a suicide attempt survivor so I’m kind of selfishly interested in prevention and, again, while it may difficult to completely prevent IDEATION, what ChatGPT does (despite guardrails!) is *cheerlead and facilitate* completion. You can come back from ideation but not a chat-optimized completion.
This is not true. This is argument that pro-gun people use to discount red flag and waiting period laws. Ease of access and lethality (let alone cheerful instruction in the best method!) is the #1 predictor of attempts leading actual completion. The more barriers, the more people live.

Our legal process depends upon litigants citing valid legal authority to support the claims they advance. At present, LLMs are degrading this information ecosystem in ways that mirror the damage being done in schools. Join me won't you for a short thread illustrating the breadth of the problem?
Cool update to last week’s story on why language doesn’t equal intelligence: a Michigan judge cited it to justify imposing sanctions over a ChatGPT-assisted filing that mentioned real cases but misstated their facts. Congrats to author @benjaminjriley.bsky.social!
![Court filing: LLMs are tools
that “emulate the communicative function of language, not the separate
and distinct cognitive process of thinking and reasoning.” Benjamin
Riley, Large language mistake, The Verge https://www.theverge.com/aiartificial-intelligence/827820/large-language-models-ai-intelligenceneuroscience-problems [https://perma.cc/7EHD-PLLZ]. When an LLM
overstates a holding of a case, it is not because it made a mistake when
logically working through how that case might represent a
“nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing
law or for establishing new law;” it is just piecing together a plausiblelooking sentence – one whose content may or may not be true.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7exlcsle4mjfhu3wnhcgizz6/bafkreicn2dgmwtlqwhdwlaijx5g66yqghjogfszcdp4d4afeyjfgwht2pi@jpeg)

In ways Galloway is worse than Peterson because he’s able to present as reasonable, which makes this form of male supremacy seem more reasonable than when it comes from a muppet-voiced freak dressed like a Batman villain who speaks like a space alien who learned English from a 1912 British dandy.
Sure, Galloway is better than Peterson
But he still believes the natural order of things requires men to be supreme. Men must protect, provide and procreate. It's dressed in progressive language, but it's fundamentally a patriarchal box to trap men in

love when non-Jews accuse Jews of being too stupid to... support Israel's genocide
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”
