objectively very funny to roll this new slogan out and then within 24 hours have this happen
Incredible. CBS Evening News announces five new “simple values” — instead of their “38-page handbook” — as they roll out Tony Dokoupil is lead anchor.
One of those values is simply: “We love America and make no apologies for saying so.”

The risk-reward with using AI in law, specifically to draft a filing, is *extremely bad*. This is not because lawyers are more special or precious than artists or coders or whoever else, but because of where the reality check occurs in the process, and the consequences of failing that check.
Again, if you write code with AI, you can see if the code compiles. If you write a legal filing with AI, you find out if it works when opposing counsel and/or the court tries to take your head off.

said it once, I'll say it a thousand times: legal research and drafting generative AI is not fit for the purpose

People are mad at this guy and raising "but what about these ways I can tell the difference!" as if it's a counter example. Broader context is obviously a claim about AI, and OP is claiming we'd obviously learn nothing about human cognition from the ability to build something that exactly mimics it!
I kind of disagree. If it looks exactly like a horse so you cannot tell the difference, and acts exactly like a horse so you cannot tell the difference, how is it in any way that matters not a horse? I believe this goes for any creature, humans included.

Consumer confidence data is basically useless for markets/econ forecasting at this point. There is just no universe where periods when inflation was 5x as high, real income growth was deeply negative, or unemployment was more than 2x current were better than the current backdrop.

i think constantly about PLAYER OF GAMES, where the shitty Empire of Azad attempts to flip an emissary from the utopian Culture. the pitch is: there is one thing a dystopia can offer a utopia cannot, and that's getting to force someone else to do what you want, even though they don't really want to
Having $800M in your investment account vs $400M doesn't change your life at all, but having a labor market where your underlings are desperate to cling to jobs vs one where they can walk across the street and get a better offer makes a huge difference in the day to day reality of the very wealthy

just remembering what an emergency it was supposed to be when a stanford committee put out a list of possibly problematic words for people to consider looking at to make sure they were happy with their word choices on the university website
“School officials have created a Microsoft Copilot prompt to review course descriptions with an eye toward avoiding ‘advocacy-oriented or prescriptive terms.’”
Terms: “dismantling, decolonizing, interrogating, challenging, centering, combating, liberation, resistance, activism, justice oriented”
