We have spent 100x more compute training AI to generate waifu art than to solve protein folding. I am not saying this is the Great Filter, but if aliens find our radioactive remains, they’re going to be very confused by the hard drives...
We're offering forgiveness to people who have engaged in years of libel/harassment towards us if they take down their attacks, debunk it and help repair the harm caused to us. This offer even extends to Henry Fisher and Louis Rossmann. Alternatively, we can address it in court.

My friend won a hundred bucks at a poster competition for *promoting generative AI adoption* with this poster, by popular vote no less. Hilarious

The probem with the Iran war is not a lack of planning

Its that it was stupid to do it in the first place, and no amount of planning would have made this crime a good idea

And soon enough people will realize this was not just a US/Israel crime against the people of Iran, or Lebanon, or Gaza, or the West Bank but against all of humanity

Viktor Orban wants Hungarians to re-elect him, even though he has turned Hungary into the most corrupt and one of the poorest countries in the EU. To do so, he is telling Hungarians to fear sabotage, thievery, or even a military attack from … Ukraine

So, when I got married I changed my last name mostly because Mr. Nay's surname is super simple and my maiden name is a pain in the ass I had to always spell and nobody could pronounce, etc. At first I moved my maiden name to be my middle name, mostly because I was graduating from grad school, working on getting licensed, etc. and was advised this would make things smoother. I eventually dropped my maiden name and went back to my original middle name. This is what's on my US Passport.

When I voted in the primaries earlier this month, I noticed my registered name was the First Maiden Married, which does not match my passport. You know, the ID I'll need to present if the SAVE act is passed. So I went online and requested a change to my name on the voter rolls. This is the subtle shit a lot of people may miss should that stupid legislation be passed. If I didn't catch it, I would have rolled up in November and been turned away.
