semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003
when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

there needs to be a sex offender registry but for ice guys. you should have to go door to door when you move to a new area and inform your neighbors that you used to be an ice guy. they shouldn't be allowed with 500 feet of a school

one of the absolute best things you can do with money, in fact maybe the #1 best thing, is give it away, and i feel bad for all the people who could do this but don't. i hope they figure it out someday

rip Wittgenstein, you would have loved writing about LLMs so much
i think that people are confusing "the LLM contains ground truths about the world" with "the LLM contains contingent truths about language which are a low-dimensional map of certain known ground truths about the world."
people getting out over their skis insisting that universal truths exist inside LLMs need to be reminded that these "truths," insofar as they exist (they kind of don't) are not compressible.
not only is the map not the territory, a territory is not a map.
not only is the map not the territory, a territory is not a map.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

it's so funny when a town got started during a gold rush. like a bunch of people were like oh there's gold there gotta move. and then they didn't find gold and they were just like oh well. time to spend the rest of my life here

Truly horrible. Note also the amount of funding lost, which forced this closure: $1.1 billion over two years. Any time you hear "billionaire", this is your new reference point for how much a billion dollars is: One of those is enough to buy two more years of nationwide public TV and radio.

second degree murder, and specifically depraved heart murder, wherein the accused doesn't actively plan to kill a specific person or people but acts with callous disregard for human life - like firing a gun into a crowd or driving drunk - should apply to decisions made by CEOs and heads of industry
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?
