it's tradition for the butch to be oafish and alcoholic and incompetent at her job in nuclear energy, and for the femme to be a well-meaning, grounding force with distinctive blue hair

Catholics have a real faith that provides them a catechism for viewing art as art. American Protestantism is histrionic and unmoored so anything can be interpreted as the devil.
I’ll Never Understand why Catholics Don’t Call out the Vatican over this?

Good reminder that ~all of generative AI is in some sense adversarially optimized for you to think it is better than it is (via pre-training, via RLHF, via hill-climbing benchmarks). or as nostalgebraist puts it:
this type of post makes me very bearish on humanity. I'm starting to discover a non negligible part of humanity appreciates slop? LLMs are incredibly good at some things, but talking about my essays right now is still at the level of slop. This isn't a statement on future capabilities. It's just that I find it sad that current ones are taken to be at harold bloom level.

Bob Ross is actually a perfect example to show why art lovers are unimpressed by AI art. Bob Ross is not famous for his paintings. He is famous for his videos in which he showed *how* he made his paintings. The process matters!
the double standards are actually insane

This is a KEY point in autism and ADHD evaluations. Parents CONSISTENTLY under-estimate the amount of work they are putting into helping their child to function on a daily basis. Usually, because they have a limited frame of reference!

Unless you have very specific mental traits if you work closely with AI you basically just turn your brain off at some point and start depending on it to do literally everything for you
"Analysts went with the agent's lean 86% of the time." "77% repeated the agent's argument in at least one answer, sometimes word for word. Only 15% credited the agent. About half called the final recommendation more their own than the agent's." Oh my god

New Anthropic research: How AI agents shape experts' judgment calls When experts delegate work to an agent, do they still make the key decisions? We tested this in a randomized trial with 50 professional data analysts.

“Violence is not the answer” is such a funny attempt at an ideology, because often it is in fact, the exact answer Sometimes the only one, when people make non-violence impossible
You know how Brazil reversed deforestation. It wasn’t a bunch of conservation tax incentives for farmers. IBAMA (Brazil’s equivalent of the EPA) airdrops shock troops to firebomb illegal logging and mining camps. Yanuni (2026)

As an older millennial that was a teenager for these movies, I do not remember anybody saying the prequels sucked at the time. That was social media revisionism by nerdy edgelords on social media 10 years later. Episode I is a masterpiece (and Empire is still my favorite)

This is why LLMs can’t write interesting and novel content, and won’t be able to for the foreseeable future

ok nvm, this is definitely some weird shit going on
seems to be a weird quirk with the specific phrasing of "2020 us presidential election" changing any of the words gives you a normal answer

one of the really fun things about being a trans woman is that by simply existing in a bar or a public space you are apparently "tricking men" I just want to go out dancing and kiss my friends but some fucking guy feels entitled to my body and attention and makes it a problem
Replying to @thereisnobeth
Don’t try to trick men into sleeping with you without disclosing that you have a penis, then your danger evaporates.

Traditionally, the butch was responsible for wearing a dark hooded costume with pointy bat ears that they use while beating up criminals while the femme was her plucky sidekick in green shorts
