The press is too scared to hound the president with questions about this. But come on. He should be asked "why is it taking so long to release this information? Can't you use AI to cook up something fake faster than this?"

Putin Plays Trump Again

The Alaska summit delivers yet another propaganda win for the Kremlin

The Jim Acosta Show

Went to REI today with my son to get him new boots, so he could try on and fit them. REI staff were helpful and friendly, but NOT knowledgeable. Interesting change from probably 15 years ago.

15 years ago:
"what kind of hiking are you going to do? How much load are you carrying"
"what's your normal shoe size? You should try a half size bigger"
"I can show you some lacing patterns to help that"
"You might try a wide or narrow also"

Today:
"What shoe are you looking for? Size? I'll go look out in back"

(I ended up helping my son fit the new boots myself 🤷 )

@dannotdaniel 🚩 Banning trans people because they "wish ill" on a well-known bigoted transphobe.
one big problem with america in general is that there are too many jobs where you’re allowed to kill people

Until we destroy #WhiteSupremacy, no progress is possible.
It's almost like the evidence keeps pointing out the truth.
I mean, rather than looking at the *process* of creating #LLMs being broken and racist, maybe we should accept that *our society is broken and racist*. I mean, how can we hope to make an #AI that isn't racist when all examples it is fed are inherently racist?
It's like trying to make a gourmet meal out of sewage by straining out the shit.

Chatbot AI makes racist judgements on the basis of dialect

Some large language models harbour hidden biases that cannot be removed using standard methods.

I think I need more cool thoughts, which is another uncool thought

CIA Supervisor: Jesus Fucking Christ.
Palmer: Yeah.
CIA Supervisor: What did we learn, Palmer?
Palmer: I don't know, sir.
CIA Supervisor: I don't fucking know either. I guess we learned not to do it again.
Palmer: Yes, sir.
CIA Supervisor: I'm fucked if I know what we did.
Palmer: Yes, sir. It's, uh ... hard to say.
CIA Supervisor: Jesus Fucking Christ.
