@scalzi Giuliani has always been a moron. It was by his hand alone that the emergency management command center was moved to the WTC complex... "Because it was more convenient". The idiot did that against the advice of his staff. Giuliani helped cripple New York Cities post disaster response on 9/11 and no one called him out for it.

#writing and #machine_learning - My experiments have been going well and I am moving on to the next phase. In the interim, I have realized that ML models like GPT-3 will have a weird influence on finding your next book. Imagine instead of a web app like Good Reads, you can ask GPT "Will I like this book?" and get an authoritative answer. Would that be a good thing, would it bring out more readers or cull the existing reading population further?

It recently struck me that 27 years ago there was a movie with Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Leguizamo playing drag queens,and if it came out today, someone would firebomb the theaters it was in. I'm not putting a sensitive warning on this picture because it's not fucking sensitive. its a movie that came out in 1995. things have moved backwards in a terrifying way.

@jcmacomber Welp, I guess there is a major downside to using a Kindle.

@jameselder Regarding that conclusion, the NSA will absolutely love it when GPT can better handle summarizing large documents.

@AbortionFront My girlfriend just told me about this as well https://apnews.com/article/abortion-business-health-nashville-personal-taxes-fffa6f6f86e6eaa448b8ea89087a1c46
Millions in tax dollars flow to anti-abortion centers in US

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Anti-abortion centers across the country are receiving tens of millions of tax dollars to talk women out of ending their pregnancies, a nearly fivefold increase from a decade ago that resulted from an often-overlooked effort by mostly Republican-led states.
