LLMs are not and will never be good enough to replace human labor. Augment it, sure, and that could lead to fewer jobs but that's not generally what happens. They are, however, good enough for execs to think they can replace human labor.

I wore the Tshirt on Friday and got tons of compliments and excited comraderie! It's a great conversation starter.

Oh, I loved it. I've read all three twice. But no book is for everyone! That's why there are so many different books. :)

This landmark was featured in The Golden Enclaves, the third book in Naomi Novak's wonderful Scholomance trilogy.

Nothing? The ACLU is great. Not sure what OP means here.

She doesn't have a light resume; the incumbent had nothing else to criticize her for so he kept calling her inexperienced. She was the head of the transit riders' union and got significant legislation passed.

They've been accusing him of being too grabby with his women co-stars (no evidence of this, and the co-stars in question say he isn't) and whining that he's just in too many movies/shows these days (no more than other prolific actors). Smells like astroturfing and surprise, it is.

I had to get glasses for the first time last year, and I got a normal looking pair and a pair with rainbow frames, and the rainbow ones are the ones I've ended up wearing the most. They don't make me look good per se but I love them and I get tons of "I love your glasses!" every day which increases the total happiness in the world.

They're going after everyone, they don't need an excuse. Fuck them, I'll be public about what I'm doing to oppose them.

It was supplied with Russian rockets before SpaceX developed reliable rockets to do it.

There are some articles about his death linked on Wikipedia but they're pretty just-the-facts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Kyanka

I switched to standing-only for my work desk about 12 years ago. The first 3 weeks were agony; my hips hurt so much. I stretched a lot, which helped some. Then suddenly it was easy, and ever since I can stand for hours, no problem.

A squishy mat is a must-have, and I also have a footrest to be able to change up my posture through the day.

 

Stop asking, "but don't they know how much harm they're doing?!" Yes. They do.

The erasure of Luigi Mangione (substack.evancarroll.com)

Right now, on Stack Overflow, Luigi Magione’s account has been renamed. Despite having fruitfully contributed to the network he is stripped of his name and his account is now known as “user4616250”.

This appears to violate the creative commons license under which Stack Overflow content is posted.

When the author asked about this:

As of yet, Stack Exchange has not replied to the above post, but they did promptly and within hours gave me a year-long ban for merely raising the question. Of course, they did draft a letter which credited the action to other events that occurred weeks before where I merely upvoted contributions from Luigi and bountied a few of his questions.

 

“Life-and-death decisions relating to patient acuity, treatment decisions, and staffing levels cannot be made without the assessment skills and critical thinking of registered nurses,” the union wrote in the post. “For example, tell-tale signs of a patient’s condition, such as the smell of a patient’s breath and their skin tone, affect, or demeanor, are often not detected by AI and algorithms.”

“Nurses are not against scientific or technological advancement, but we will not accept algorithms replacing the expertise, experience, holistic, and hands-on approach we bring to patient care,” they added.

 

I started editing Wikipedia more seriously over the last couple of months, and this video has a bunch of useful information and how-tos that I wish I had then, and some stuff that I still didn't know. I really like contributing to such a useful resource, and knowing that every little edit I make helps everybody who wants to learn about that topic!

 

A senior Trump advisor shared a video that seems to show an NBC reporter badmouthing Republican presidential candidates. It appears AI was used to imitate the reporter's voice.
