I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
Gosh, I remember when we had an actual president instead of a loudmouth bully who won't take responsibility for his actions.
This is a reminder that no one can convince Trump voters to no longer support Trump, better than Trump can.
i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country
This is not a thought and prayers post,,, this is heartfelt hurt for the families and friends and US Figure Skating and DC School District and everyone who is affected. This is bout politicians who need to stfu bout trying to blame women and black people for this absolute tragedy,,, Not the time!!!
My heart breaks for all victims and their friends and families of last nights horrific air crash,,, it’s a time of grieving and strength and love,,, not politics. May God bless everyone with strength to get thru this tough time together.
Mr President sir I have it on good authority that landlords are doing DEI. They are woke sir
I love how he basically pops off after winning!
What do you suppose they are talking about?
Basically, all of Kash Patel's hearing was like this: Dem Sen: You said on the "Tightest Whitie Podcast," quote, 'I'm going to use the FBI to hunt down Trump's enemies, period, full stop, it's as simple as that, no more, no less." Is that your intent? Patel: That was taken out of context.
sorry if I'm being a little annoying about violations to the constitution, but damn it feels weird to be on the side making a fuss about that
There has never been a better time to open a crappy amusement park where the rides kill people
As Jesus famously said, Love thy neighbor a bit less than thyself
I mean yes, there is such a concept in Christianity. It appears quite notably in the letters of Paul, for instance, where it’s a concept he *relentlessly* argues against, and in the Gospel where it’s a concept Jesus very much repeatedly scorns. So it is technically in there!

Here is a nice mushroom

I love classic folk horror films like “Get Away From Me Turnip Patch, Dracula” (1965) and “Welsh Dracula” (1967)

Ladies and gentlemen… , my co-host on the podcast. 💥💥💥
Tarlov: When you talk about staffing issues, sure, the control room is a problem, but you know what else is a problem? That there is no head of the FAA. Elon Musk has been trying to push him out… And they have in the first week in office gutted this key aviation safety advisory committee. 🎥: 1/2

Ooopah, Duppah!!!!
I just got hold of one of the new scenes in your new movie. Looks great
DeepSeek took off in part because, in a first, it offered a reasoning model that explains to you what it's doing. Its success shows how little AI product teams have done so far to make their products appealing to normal people: www.platformer.news/deepseek-des...
How else could chatbots be made more appealing? The popularity of r1’s chain of thought suggests that they should communicate more about their process, and in particular offer the user guidance on how to refine their queries when they don’t get the answer they’re looking for. Just telling users how a chatbot understood their question seems to build an outsized amount of trust. 

I also think there’s something appealing about r1’s humility — in conveying its own lack of certainty, it sounds less like the authoritative robots we have come to expect and more like Star Wars’ C-3PO. That’s somewhat counterintuitive — I don’t know many people who think the final form of superintelligence is a bumbling droid — and yet too often we forget how alien and unapproachable these systems remain to all but the most devoted AI nerds.
