My Python nitpick is that Python has long had a print *function* and not a print *statement*. This mistake happens so often that even LLMs routinely make it.

It should be considered common sense that there are no good reasons remaining to have an account on X. But people still believe that their posts on X generate engagement or awareness, as they ignore the trash posted along with their content. They worry about giving up on their followers, but bots have no feelings.
In this article by @parismarx, several excellent points are made that it's time to stop now.

Cybertrucks have locked passengers inside and burned so hot they disintegrated drivers’ bones. Victims’ families blame what they say is faulty design

One of the ways LLMs are damaging society is by causing us to endlessly talk about LLMs when we could be doing something creative.

Another day, another Excel chart.

It’s not even necessarily a technological matter. It’s paradigmatic. The sentence “We will one day travel the stars” requires us to carefully assess what we can mean by “we”, “one day” and “travel”.

@thomasfuchs @harry_karadimas
Yeah, that's what I mean. Without expanding our understanding of the problem, it's not physically possible. It's not a matter of technology, not an addition problem, it's a division problem. You can't evem approach 100% efficiency or 100% c.

So you have to do Rocket Equation for what CAN be done, and figure out if it's something we want to do.
