One of the many incredible things Pedro shared was how Meta's AI bot within WhatsApp refused users' asks to make a poster for Lula but granted it for Flavio and when asked to make mock poster for, say, a dog they added Flavio's electoral number - as in vote for #22. In Brazil, vote is by #.

I have blamed The agents That hacked Your website And which You probably Reasonably thought I controlled Forgive me I am rich And unaccustomed To taking responsibility

im not inclined to take anything these people say at face value but: it's clear it is a highly autonomous automated product that is not well understood, no one is being exceptionally careful with it, and the danger is being weighed against "also i want one trillion dollars" and the latter wins

It is 2028, every body of water in and around the Continental United States has been renamed. Now every America River feeds directly into a Lake America or America Ocean. No-one knows where they are.

Appropriately enough, as American school children are no longer able to rely on the acronym "H-O-M-E-S" to remember the names of the Great Lakes, they will have to find a new one to incorporate Lake America. S-H-A-M-E comes to mind.

I don't get what "Vote Blue No Matter Who" has to do with primaries. Voting for any candidate in a Dem primary IS voting blue. The saying does, or at least should, mean always vote for the Dem over any Republican in the general, even if your preferred candidate didn't advance that far.

No notes

Effing heretics, all of them. Idol worshippers, all of them. What's nice is that you could raise Luther, Calvin, Augustine, Aquinas, the assorted Fathers and Doctors of the Eastern and Western churches, a gamut of popes from all stripes, and they'd concur that these are heretics of the worst kind

For a practical example, imagine you make a claim on your insurance for an injury. The insurer gets your GP's clinical notes to investigate the claim and find a reference to a pre-existing condition you don't have, you never mentioned but the LLM transcribed and just sat there on your file for years
