George Clooney is an actor.

Put him in the role of a surgeon in front of a camera, and he will do and say things the average non-surgeon viewer will agree are surgeonish. After an hour of that, we are, as average non-surgeon viewers, satisfied and entertained.

Put him in an operating theatre, and the patient will fucking die because he's not a surgeon and knows nothing about really doing surgery.

This is a post about LLMs.

If I recall my last business ethics and compliance training at #Apple correctly there was something about corruption and not giving gifts to government officials, not even in countries where it’s „customary“ or „necessary“ to do so to do business

If you need receipts on why to stop using #Substack: it deliberately hosts white supremacist and fascist content.

It’s been called out and interviewed about this problem multiple times. They just say dumb techbro crap like “the marketplace of ideas.”

“UK will recognise Palestinian state in September unless Israel agrees to Gaza ceasefire and other conditions” https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cdrkj810plvt

Unlike Macron, Starmer is saying the quiet part out loud: to them, recognizing Palestine as a state is just a bargaining chip.

They're this close đŸ€ to looking into the eyes of every starving Palestinian and telling them they're ready to grant them their right to self-determination, but only if Israel continues assassinating them.

"I’ve cheated death so many times. If tomorrow you read ‘Ozzy Osbourne never woke up this morning,’ you wouldn’t go, ‘Oh, my God!’ You’d go, ‘Well, it finally caught up with him.’"

Well, it finally caught up with him.

RIP Ozzy.
