In Austin, nonprofits are in the midst of a 24 hour giving day to support our work. I just want to highlight an incredible young person who has already brought people together to raise almost $2k to prevent gun violence. Support her if you can! www.amplifyatx.org/p2p/400455/m...
Since the Trump Admin is giving up on #cancer research here's a way to help out a bit hope.huntsmancancer.org/gentoend/luc...
Any amount can help with sensible gun laws in Texas of all places! www.amplifyatx.org/p2p/399841/l...
Err. This is BS without a definition of Outperform. I mean come the fuck on.
If you have zero education, but learn how to ask AI models the right questions , in many jobs you will be able to outperform someone with an advanced degree, but who is unwilling to use Large Language Models. Just takes a smartphone, curiosity to experiment and a mindset to learn.

Anyone can walk into Best Buy and walk out with a drone that is more than capable of carrying bad things. Zero reason to bring one across the us border. Smells like some propaganda to me.
This is bad, and certainly smells of an intended assassination—though obviously we cannot know that yet. But you do not bring a trained killer into the United States just to have him conduct anodyne covert drone surveillance.

Happy New Year! Today is an important day for me: it's the 20th(!) anniversary of the release of Old Man's War. On my site I write about how this unusual, not-actually-great release date turned out to be a blessing, and where the book and series go from here: whatever.scalzi.com/2025/01/01/2...

Overconfident autocomplete. That’s the AI hype bubble.
Today's newsletter: I believe AI is racing Silicon Valley toward another dot com bust. Generative AI is too unreliable, has no path to profit, uses far too much energy, and cannot fix its core problem - that you just can't trust the things it creates. www.wheresyoured.at/sam-altman-f...
