When I tell y'all how many people work for the NYPD, and that their budget ($12B/yr) is greater than the military budget of almost every country on earth, people think I'm exaggerating.

I'm not.

So when they say that they "Don't have enough resources," to pursue all the sex crimes or thefts? They are lying.

Everyone is using LLMs to rediscover an old problem: nobody is looking at anything and everything is garbage. The moment you decide to look at it bugs pop out everywhere.

The two hardest problems in Computer Science are

1. Human communication
2. Getting people in tech to believe that human communication is important

"Every day computers are making people easier to use"

Kindergarten teacher called a prank ICE hotline thinking it was real. She called to report her 6 year old student to ICE to try to get them and their family deported.

6 years old.

She does not enjoy hearing her own words and actions played back to her.

👴🏻Listen here you foolish Black people! The choices are Biden or Trump! That's it! It's where we are! You have no 3rd party choices! You have no Dem primaries! Trump or Biden! Choose! And you'd better choose Biden you ungrateful bastards!

Chaser:
👴🏻OMG! Biden had one bad debate! We must now swap him out like a flat tire! Who we got? Kamala? The Black girl? Blasian or whatever? No! I mean, who we really got? Mayor Pete? Newsom? Yes I'm serious about switching 4 months before the election!

Hey Fediverse friends. 👋🏼

I am in the ICU right now. I was hit by a car while walking to a cafe yesterday morning and I have 9 broken ribs. It hurts a lot.

My wife and brothers are taking great care of me. I'm very lucky. The hospital is great.

I should be out of the hospital next week and back online later in the week.

If your business can’t run without paying workers poverty wages, then you don’t have an acceptable business model.
PagerDuty having a pride logo is more threatening than supportive like "just because its your month doesnt mean you queers wont get paged"
who would you rather have at your author Q & A, a "this is more of a comment" person, or a bear
