Science/engineering guy and dad. Friendly neighborhood reply guy.
Hell yeah.
I mean, I certainly do. Unrelenting opposition to corruption, prosecution and jail for Trump traitors, full-throated defense of the underprivileged, and celebration of America as a diverse and open nation where immigrants are welcomed, minorities are protected, and the government follows rules
Ok but the Dems need to run on a platform that signals a break with the status quo and the need to do big things and if you have another idea for that besides Dem socialist policies I'm all ears but I don't think you do so yeah Dems should be running on that platform.

Comey: "I'm grateful the court ended the case against me, which was a prosecution based on malevolence & incompetence... I was inspired by the career people who refused to be part of this travesty. It cost some of them their jobs, but it preserved their integrity, which is beyond price"

Schoolwork is not about having it done, it’s about getting it done. Education is doing the work, and the changes that makes in your brain. If an LLM does the work, you have learned nothing.
I think the shortest version of why LLMs are an anti education technology is that education is fundamentally about making shared context to understand ourselves, each other, and the world
And by design LLMs destroy shared context

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Trump's economy is being held up by a massive AI bubble.
A recent study found that of 300 companies that owned generative AI tools, 95% reported zero return on their investments.
We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.

Trump: "I don't think Saudi Arabia would like me too much if we decided to kill oil and natural gas. There's nothing like it. It works. Windmills don't work. Other things -- I don't want to get it into too much -- but they don't work. What does work is natural gas, oil, nuclear, and other things."

@pfrazee.com, we really need @bsky.app to let us know why Sarah Kendzior's account was suspended and if there was a good reason—or any reason at all.
Transparency is important with such high profile suspensions (but also, everyone should be informed about why they get suspended).

Senator Murphy called it. This is exactly right, why should we fight for any of these senators, they sure as hell are not fighting for us.
Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.
