i will say that we have never experienced anything like an administration trying to essentially freeze the activities of the entire federal government while making a series of illegal power grabs. genuinely unclear to me what kind of response, if any, these guys are generating against them
The remote work debate was funny because it forced the question "Is a job something valuable you do or is it a place you go to be watched like daycare" and the answer for a lot of them was yeah it's the daycare thing now come on inside recess is over

we have a president with a tenuous grip on small legislative majorities who is out of the gate with a flurry of dramatically unpopular orders and who has just demonstrated his weakness on the international stage. if i were an elected member of his domestic opposition, i might try to draw real blood.
I’ve been back in Illinois for a couple of days because my mom had a stroke, and we were all very worried. But this morning when I walked into her room she said her first complete sentence to me since I got here, which was “look at that big belly” so I think she’s going to be fine

For those interested in politics, don’t ignore AI. AI models will further change politics into something that is probably unrecognizable. Just like a TikTok algo can get what it wants in front of you, campaigns will figure out how to get information to get you to vote , OUTSIDE of your phone/PC
Remember when we were arguing about the term "foundation models"? It feels like ages ago! With those base models culminating in DeepSeek v3 in Dec 2024, 2025 will likely be the year of LLM specialization! Anyway, I will be writing about it more soon :).
I love this time of year because people will post something super dramatic and vague like “Nooooooo” and I can’t tell if it’s about football or *gestures outside window* all of this.

I’m convinced owls are just the cats of the sky

With Nvidia stock in decline, it’s finally time for 3dfx to make a comeback
DeepSeek's most powerful capability is confirming in everyone's minds what they already believed about AI
On this day Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in Salzburg, Austria in 1756; as was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson aka Lewis Carroll in Cheshire, England in 1832. Quite a thing to be remembered centuries later!
I wrote about my top reasons for worrying about DeepSeek — and my top reasons to not panic just yet. In the end, though, I really do think it could give AI labs license to invest less in safety www.platformer.news/deepseek-ai-...

Bitcoin falls below 100K
What I'm learning every time one of my posts escapes containment and ends up on the discover feed is that a whole helluva lot of people are being combative yet also agreeing with the post. And I can't tell if that's because they're not picking up what I'm laying down or if that's just normal now.

Every living thing has an innocent child within it.
Not to get all political on you but actually I do think you should be talking to people you know about this
cool how Project 2025 went viral during the election, we were told Trump disavowed it and wouldn't do it, he got elected and started implementing it immediately and now we're being told "well this is what people voted for" they very explicitly did not
