"This is coming from an environmental toxin and somebody made it and put that environmental toxin into our air or water or medicines or food," Kennedy said during the press conference at the Department of Health and Human Services' headquarters in Washington, D.C.

“And we’ll announce the culprit as soon as the next corporate figure from any of those industries is critical of the Trump administration.”

While the project is still in early stages, we’re told there’s an internal prototype focused on ChatGPT’s image generation that has a social feed.

Dammit—I can see that actually taking off with many audiences, if it generates an eye-catching fake image to go with every text post.

It’s become an overriding issue for them because the media they consume convinced them a trivial grammatical feature “really drives at the core of what they think it means to be a human person”. If the pronoun issue disappears, the same media will pick some other random issue no one currently cares about to elevate into another existential crisis—and idiots like Carville will keep taking the bait, believing the newest fake issue on the distraction treadmill is their last remaining obstacle to victory.

Goats will only eat grass if there are no other green plants accessible.

The issue isn’t whether people should be allowed to risk their lives—it’s whether people should be allowed to make other people chose between risking their lives or risking their livelihoods.

Do you imagine them uniting under one of the current governments, or some kind of new or hybrid government?

What’s your hope for future relations between North and South Korea?

I would call that resourcefulness, and make productivity a function of resourcefulness × efficiency.

It’s less useful because you can’t modify it to do whatever you want.

It’s less dangerous (than proprietary AI) because no one else can, either.

I’ve known people who were raised by their grandparents and grew up OK, but I assume it was harder on the grandparents.

Using it 75% of the time is harder than using it all the time, because it means you’re consciously thinking about it each time instead of doing it reflexively.

I realize it won’t be like this forever

You can always keep moving to smaller instances.

Plenty of writers in the early Christian church continued to draw heavily on Greek and Roman mythology as a source for literary analogies—so a background knowledge of classical mythology is necessary to fully understand foundational Christian literature.

Great—let’s test it on politicians and law enforcement first.

Ok... but then what’s the purpose of not having three hands?

If by “western” you mean “everything west of China”, then the Shahnameh.

If you mean “European/Mediterranean”, then Homer.

If you specifically mean “western Europe”, then yeah—probably Shakespeare.

Before copyright, storytellers sharing and reusing characters, settings, and plots was the norm. It’s the way humans evolved to tell stories, over tens or hundreds of thousands of years. We instinctively want to hear stories about characters we know, and to see new twists on familiar tales (aka “shit getting weird”). It’s why franchises, fan fiction, and adaptations are so popular.

And copyrights were never intended to protect the work of artists—they were first introduced after the invention of the printing press to censor subversive works being written for a newly-literate public, and quickly evolved into a means of creating monopolies for commercial printers. Writers were eventually given a stake in order to create a new rationale for copyright laws after they were suspended due to public backlash—but that was a minimal concession by the real commercial beneficiaries, not the main purpose.

We thwarted two aerial attacks that the enemy was preparing to launch

That kind of sounds like they had inside intelligence—did the Defense Department accidentally add them to a planning thread?

And by an LLM you mean the people who train and tune the LLM to generate the type of responses they like.

Hmm... I just got shingles last year. Does that have a similar effect as vaccination (since the vaccine is based on an attenuated live virus, and re-infection is practically unheard-of), or does it mean I now have an elevated risk?
