Skill issue, people have been raising newborns without ChatGPT for 300,000 years at least, pretty embarrassing for Altman to admit this out loud
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."

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.

the law is real until it gets to SCOTUS at which point it becomes fake, which doesn't bother the six reactionaries at the top but does undermine literally everyone else in the profession

By contrast, cutting higher education to the bone to 'save costs' strikes me as penny-wise and pound-foolish, sacrificing a lot of future productivity for meager savings today, mostly out of a block-headed anti-intellectualism rather than any real economy.

this is 3rd grade arithmetic. Can it really be the case that the NYT, WaPo, NPR and the rest can't find someone who both can do reporting and passed third grade?
Speaking as a former reporter: reporters are generally innumerate. It is extremely rare to meet a reporter who considers themselves to be good at math.

I really would like to hear a non-nefarious reason why reporters at places like the NYT, WaPo, or NPR can't take 10 second to tell us that the $100 billion we spend on SNAP is 1.3% of the budget or the $6 billion that went to the AIDS program in Africa was 0.9% of the budget. Love to hear a reason.
seriously, can anyone give me a reason why reporters refuse to express huge budget numbers, that they know are meaningless to their audience, in a context that makes them understandable -- such as a percentage of the budget? I NEVER get an answer to this question.
If every budget number was presented as a percent of budget, percent of GDP, and percent of 10 year GDP, a large fraction of the population would have a pretty good understanding of the relative sizes of these items and budget proposals pretty quickly

Every Democratic presidential candidate needs to include in their platform having majority of justices on the Supreme Court who believe in the Constitution
A political party that behaves like this has no place in a democracy
Trump’s henchmen are openly bragging to Republican donors how the MAGA #SCOTUS will help them win elections by ruling the Republican’s way on campaign finance contribution and redistricting cases.
Trumpers are counting on right wing judicial coup from Roberts.

It's vile to kill people with no actual legal justification and also vile to joke about killing those people.
Trump: "The problem is nobody wants to go fishing anymore. They don't want to get in boats. They don't want anything to do with boats. I think we've destroyed the boat market. Other than that it's been very effective."

barring some sort of society-wide denazification effort I am basically not at all interested in reintegrating anyone involved in this administration after it all comes crashing down. if someone comes to me with DOGE on their resume I will tell them to fuck off until my dying day

we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

It is utterly baffling to me when universities are under threat from a repressive government under going executive backsliding, the level of analysis we seem to get from media elites at the Atlantic is "they deserved it because of their work on DEI?"
the universities obviously have no responsibility for what happened whatsoever. no one in the trump administration gives a shit about the quality of universities, as you well know. they just see an enemy of authoritarianism and want to destroy it.
Do the universities have no responsibility for what happened? I don’t like the leftist argument that things just happen to institutions with multi-billion dollar endowents. Their vast DEI & HR bureaucracy has failed many staff and students eg www.nytimes.com/2024/10/16/m...

oh hey look it’s the thing literally everyone said would happen
Two months after President Donald Trump signed an executive order restricting H-1B visas, soaring costs are roiling rural health care facilities that have long struggled to find staff.
Rural America relies on foreign doctors. Trump’s visa fee shuts them out.
The Trump administration’s demand for companies to pay a $100,000 fee to hire an immigrant worker using an H1B visa has created turmoil among rural health providers.

Wurman is being pretty slippery with his definition of "purpose." There was extensive discussion about the impact of the Amendment on Chinese immigrants and "Gypsies," so they knew it would have a broader impact than just on children of freed people, and agreed on the interpretation of the words.

The Supreme Court paved the way for a felon to return to the presidency — where, behind the shield of office, that felon has ordered a string of murders.
The boat was split in half. 9 men were dead. 2 more clung to a floating piece of wreckage and tried desperately to flip it over for 41 minutes straight. There was no possible way they were going anywhere.
Then they were killed in cold blood by the U.S. military.
