I also don’t think you can excitedly tell the investors, this technology is so advanced and impressive that even WE don’t know what it’s capable of and then cherry pick the parameters of the TOS whenever your lack of control has consequences. A feature when it makes you money, a bug when it costs.
"It is against the TOS to be talked into suicide by our LLM" is possibly the most evil tech bro thing I've ever read
Additionally, OpenAI argues its not liable because Raine, by using ChatGPT for self-harm, broke its terms of service

I'd be more the sort who would play a staged exhibition against pro athletes (a la Putin). I'd knock out a few base hits against pitchers whose fastball velocity mysteriously dropped to knuckleball speed. But to actually answer the question, Deep Space Nine and Lower Decks movies...
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

Gender-affirming care saves lives
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

This is a massive victory and one worth celebrating.
The fight, however, is far from over. We do not know what the actual budget of IMLS will look like in 2026, as it's only funded through January 2026 right now.
We also know Trump's spent IMLS money on propaganda.

$10M is enough money to not have to work again, travel and spend like a normal person and help family & friends when needed. It's enough money to have a comfortable, relaxing, healthy life which seems better than perpetual unhappiness hoarding billions like a sociopathic dragon.

For the first time in my career, I can’t tell people to trust what the CDC website says. And that is an incredibly sad and devastating place for this country to be.

your movement has to be like 8 levels removed from reality to think that some of the starving kids in gaza also having serious medical conditions makes Israel look better. it's completely insane. they just think because it's an additional fact it's somehow exonerating.

We went from prohibiting sports betting to having it be ubiquitous with pretty much no guardrails. Prohibition isn't the answer, but betting sponsorships of teams/leagues/broadcast networks, mobile betting and prop bets shouldn't exist anymore. Make people go to a casino to bet on teams.

This is a good take. Raleigh had possibly the best season ever for a catcher. Judge had damn near a 10 WAR while winning the slash line triple crown. All in on Judge takes Cal doing it as Catcher for granted, all in on Cal takes Judge's greatness for granted. Either would've been a good choice...
Raleigh had a remarkable season, one I'll never forget. Judge was just ... a little bit better. I think it was reasonable to make up the gap with intangibles and ineffables and whatnots, but ultimately, I also think Judge was the right choice. But it wouldn't have been a robbery either way IMO.
