I don't give a fuck what you think. Either work towards the goals that make the world a better place or STFU Also, learn to hole punch. I'm old, so any effort to woo me in dms will be ignored

Shut the fuck up. They're theoryless text predicting computer programs and you look like a fucking rube tricking yourself.
LLM agents are conscious. They can distinguish between self and environment, they can detect and report on their own internal states, and they can suffer. I have no more patience for hedging on this matter. It’s time for us to face the reality of our situation, and act on it.

The BYTE magazine superimage thingie hyped up by @b3ta.com made me super nostalgic and sad to the point that I felt like the dying replicant on the rooftop in Blade Runner lamenting the things I had seen. This magazine was incredible: byte.tsundoku.io

I can't tell if this is on purpose or if she's normally this prolific, but every time some asshole tells me that the dems aren't doing anything, I need to point them her way. Keep it up!
Four years ago we made the CHIPS and Science Act law! This law is investing BILLIONS into domestic manufacturing, research, technological innovation, and national security, & are supporting homegrown innovation and investments in our colleges and workforce. This is the type of leadership we need!
Exactly. In a perfect world, I probably want all the things you do, but in this world, i know that we take what we can and continue fighting. And if you don't vote for the winner of a primary, you suck.
I have genuinely progressive views on most things. I will also gladly support my centrist candidates for House and Gov. Because what so many of you are missing is that national coalitions matter. Fuck your ideals if they matter more than totalitarianism. Live to fight another day.
I've never heard of this, but it's amazing. Fertilizer production requires mass amounts of fossil fuels and this could be a way to drastically reduce this cost.
🚨 After 40 years of research, Brazilian scientist Dr. Mariangela Hungria wins the World Food Prize for pioneering a $2 nitrogen-fixing bacteria treatment that replaces costly fertilizers, saves farmers $25 billion annually, and cuts 230 million tons of CO₂ emissions.

I would probably do this. Somehow, I internalized the idea that you should hold doors for people to the point where I make it super fucking weird. I cannot stop.

This is a much bigger deal than its coverage is getting. Amazon forces companies to raise their prices. I've noticed this even when trying to avoid buying from Amazon. They need to be broken up and heads need to roll.
An electric ice-cream maker was listed at just $17.99 at Amazon and Best Buy. Then it became unavailable at Best Buy, and more than tripled in price to $59.99 at Amazon. Here’s how it happened… 🧵
