@WhiteHouse This is the kind of stuff that only the most insecure of people would put out. The level of projection is just staggering and posts like these from the White House account of all places makes you look like try-hard clowns.

@uwuDrSillyPhD @EMPORIOSMOM In her head she is not famous enough, she's not Britney famous, she's not Madonna famous, hence her constant need to try manufacture it. It's why she wants to claim inventing "gay pop" despite being clearly neither gay nor the first to do so.

After some more thought, I believe that what he said was extremely bad, and given the full context of the conversation, what he said is made even worse (He defends Trump looking at teenagers while naked, given that their parents were okay with it). But with that said, my response here to my community was not it. I could have handled it significantly better and dropped the ball. I will absolutely acknowledge that.

This is an INSANE liberal twist. Believe it or not Dean, Children DO NOT have a legal right to consent. It’s OUR responsibility as parents to protect our children and never put them in this hypothetical situation. Your drama is ill placed and you have a lot to learn.

@amasad No, it doesn't "think it's Elon", it quite literally says "let's search for Elon's stance to guide my answer", it very clearly considers Elon an outside source to query. That's an OBJECTIVELY BAD process that is just ripe for spreading misinformation and specific views.

Grok 4 is the first AI that actually thinks from first principles about controversial subjects as opposed to the canned woke responses we’re used to now. I expect they will come under intense political pressure soon, but I hope they don’t nerf it.

@narasimha_naidu @micah_erfan This may be one of the most idiotic takes I've ever seen. You know what the correct response is when you don't have an answer that is objectively correct? You say "hey I don't really have a clear view of which is right and which is wrong, so here's the balance of information".

@micah_erfan When you ask Grok to give one word answer for a political question, it has to take a stand , politically none of the sides might be correct, so if it has to take a side taking a side of its owner is not a bad idea

@SawyerMerritt I think a little bit of a miss on this one, if they'd squared off the nose and given it a bit more of a retro look on the profile I think it'd have been a banger, but that kinda squashed look isn't as fun as their past designs.

If AI is improving your pace and quality of code, then great, more power to you, but then you weren't a very good coder in the first place. I have not found any LEGITIMATELY expert coder (not just some self-proclaimed one who believes vibe coding is equivalent to expertise) who finds AI coding tools useful at this time.

Plus, you know what's even worse than sitting around waiting for AI to come up with a solution? Context switching away from the AI, then coming back to it, only for it to not have solved your problem, requiring you to now reprompt it with additional information in the hope that it didn't just hallucinate an API and will fix itself, and then context switch _back_ to one of the myriad of other AI driven solutions you were working on which may also require reprompting or "finessing" to get working.

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers. The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

That is quite frankly not what she points out in the slightest, what she ranks as futile is the championing of a solution to essentially be the dissolution of the state of Israel which is so obviously NOT a realistic solution because there is no workable way to do that without Israel internally collapsing (not going to happen) or nuking the place (not going to happen). All that this rhetoric has done is allowed anti-semites to glom onto this and cheer it on. These are not the people you want to be having supporting the Palestinian cause (they certainly care naught for Palestine). It seems you're the one attempting to strawman her argument by oversimplifying something she rightly calls out as extremely complex and not something that is appropriate to "make content" about.

@caleebies She specifically calls out the futility in spreading awareness through pictures of what was occurring in Palestine and said the energy wasn't being focused towards anything consequential. Then goes on to say much the same about focusing on Dem politicians' complicity. Straw man?

I'm often defensive of Contra but this is dogshit. Democratic politicians failing to respond in any way to pro-Palestinian protests isn't the fault of the pro-Palestinian protesters. Hate this implication that progressives should have seen the "futility" and stayed silent.

@chronictime1 @METR_Evals I am an engineer with 20+ YOE and will absolutely beat these benchmarks. Though I did have to spend close to a 1000 hours using AI tools to get it.

That is quite literally not how experienced coders work. Instead they get engrossed in the one problem they are working on until completion. Context switching creates significant overhead and results in loss of focus on a particular solution. It quite literally results in worse code.

@METR_Evals Experienced Developers shouldn't be waiting for AI to finish they should be working on something else and coming back to check on the work after 30+ minutes. Most likely the cause of this slowdown is the devs were not multi-tasking on multiple things.

@vikare06 lower budgets, shorter deadlines, lower standards of what constitutes viable animation for children's shows, cheaper, less talented artists being used, mass outsourcing of talent to the cheapest animation shops possible, take your pick.

@RepMTG What he did is quite literally medical malpractice and fraud. He could have just refused to administer vaccines, but instead he misrepresented what he was injecting into people and lying to the legal guardians of children as to what medical assistance they were getting.

I am writing a letter to the DOJ asking all charges be dropped against Dr. Kirk Moore. who is facing thirty five years in federal prison for destroying thousands of vials of COVID-19 vaccine, giving his patients vaccine cards without taking the shots, and injecting saline into children whose parents wanted them to believe they got vaccinated without risking the deadly side effects. This man is a hero, not a criminal. The charges were filed under Biden’s DOJ, not Trump. The Covid vaccine kills and injures people, but this brave doctor, who is a veteran by the way, is being prosecuted for helping people avoid tyrannical vaccine mandates under Democrats. Big Pharma was given billions of taxpayer’s dollars for experimental covid vaccines and then the MrNA covid vaccines were forced on Americans, our military, and our children against their will. Covid vaccines do not stop the spread of covid and are proven to cause life threatening myocarditis, miscarriages, strokes, blood clots, and many other issues that many Americans are angrily still dealing with today. There are millions of reports on the VAERS system of deaths and vaccine injuries for the COVID vaccine that still have never been investigated. Dr. Kirk Moore is a hero, not a criminal!!!

It is worth pointing out that at the point of the presentation a lot of what was being seen there was being faked and didn't actually have a proper in-game implementation yet. Also the in-game versions of what were shown are not 1:1 technically the same as the demo, but it's so close it doesn't matter. They're generally great at doing this stuff.
