I'm talking about this because the Navier-Stokes situation with OpenAI seems like a teaser of this. You have access to someone's mostly-finished research, so why not steal it, finish it and claim the credit? What stops you? Nothing but your scruples. Well, what if you're a sociopath without those?

It's interesting to think about what would be possible if an organisation as large as Google or Facebook or OpenAI went actually, *actually* evil. People don't dream anywhere near big enough about this kind of thing

Another fun fact: the Appalachians are older than _bones_. Bones are found in the fossil record ~480 million years ago, Appalachians began forming ~1.1 billion years ago in the Grenville Orogeny.

My Pops picked up photography about ten years ago, but the pandemic turned him into a full‑blown student of the craft. He spends many of his summer evenings capturing hummingbirds — and recently learned their wings can act like tiny prisms when the light hits just right. Magic in motion.

really looking forward to this one

I've worked professionally on several CMSs and have theorized in my darker moments that there's an incompleteness theorem of the CMS where it's impossible to actually have a good one, because no two users want the same things

I truly believe that New Yorkers are capable of booing someone to death. I know you can do it. I have never been so certain about anything.

Well, fuck. (I went long on the history of this terminal but one tl;dr is that we're in a cold civil war on fossil fuels and Oakland is a point of resistance with some truly heroic local defenders.) www.oaklandreviewofbooks.org/unpaid-debts/

Just got a clever as hell phishing attempt. Be careful out there!

this goes for all art. there is nothing like the arrival of YOURSELF

I don't know exactly how, but I too am on the AI haters list. Not because I'm not a hater, but I can't recall posting about it.

trans rights is a "wedge" issue in the sense that if you have an issue with trans rights I will "wedge" you into a crevasse in a mountain and leave you there

People have historically, and rightfully, seen the evil of Guantanamo, Abu Gharib, and now CECOT for what it is, but I wish more people would also see the evil in our domestic prisons too. How we treat our most vulnerable, including prisoners, really sets the tone for our whole society.

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas & city center in 2021.”

go the fuck outside. find a goth club. go there on a kink / queer night. go even if you think “you won’t fit in” (cheat code: just wear black). be friendly. give yourself time. repeat as necessary. you will make exceptional friends. life is for the living. do it scared. 🏳️‍⚧️🖤🏳️‍🌈

ER frequent flyer here: this is some bullshit, everyone deserves medical care full stop. The reason wait times are long are policy failures stemming from life under capitalism, which allocates resources towards profits, and not towards the greater good.
