I was happy to spend time and energy catching and fixing developers' mistakes before they reached customers and business leaders. I am completely disinterested in doing that for an LLM. We are going to release more bugs and crashes. I am willing to protect the product from the consequences of bad hires. I am not going to protect it from the consequences of AI mandates.

Rand Paul and I are a couple of offset sine waves. We disagree on nearly everything but occasionally our ideologies cross. His questions and statement during the Marco Rubio deposition were on point.
Dan GillmorPlease note that the Trump regime continues to flagrantly, illegally withhold the Epstein documents and plainly has no intention of releasing them (at least until the apparatchiks can destroy/doctor the incriminating stuff).

The feds will sue if/when state enforces a law like this against them. But every state should pass such a law. The American Civil War II demands legislation like this from every state committed to fighting Republican Fascism.
fromjason.xyz ❤️ 💻 ✍️ 🥐 🇵🇷@pluralistic I love this. I designed my blog to resemble these old style books. I wanted my site to feel like you found a dusty book in the attic and you're nervous about opening it.
If U.S. federal student loan borrowers voted as a bloc, we would be the most powerful political group in the country.
