@davidsirota Just because we are a poor state doesn't mean we are stupid. Go eat bullshit Colorado chile, Sirota.

The thing that must particularly scare Big Tech about the Meta ruling is that an Attorney General from one of the poorest states in the country defeated the legal army of one of the world's largest tech giants. If New Mexico can do this, it means other, bigger states can too.

@csubagio @Islaladrones @natashajaques It tasted better as a one-off here and there, but not for the long haul. I think of this a lot when I hear about studies about preferences.

@csubagio @Islaladrones @natashajaques There's the story about New Coke in the 80s. When they did taste tests, people preferred it to the original formula. But when it went to market, sales dropped. It turned out people liked drinking original Coke consistently. New Coke wasn't something they could drink all day.

The paper I’ve been most obsessed with lately is finally out: nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news…! Check out this beautiful plot: it shows how much LLMs distort human writing when making edits, compared to how humans would revise the same content. We take a dataset of human-written essays from 2021, before the release of ChatGPT. We compare how people revise draft v1 -> v2 given expert feedback, with how an LLM revises the same v1 given the same feedback. This enables a counterfactual comparison: how much does the LLM alter the essay compared to what the human was originally intending to write? We find LLMs consistently induce massive distortions, even changing the actual meaning and conclusions argued for.

@MeetJess Hantavirus is usually found in mice droppings in rural locations in the SW U.S. You get it by inhaling particles from the droppings. It's deadly but not common.

@LauraMiers @MeetJess I say this with the utmost respect as someone who agrees with re: covid. Hantavirus has afflicted the SW U.S. for a long time and has always been this deadly regardless of Covid.

@MeetJess I can’t believe ignoring it didn’t make it go away. I can’t believe repeatedly infecting everyone with the novel pathogen that causes immunodeficiency is leading people to acquire deadly infections, after we were warned for years exactly this would happen.

@joshuarolson Wow

@AlisaValdesRod1 @BNOFeed This is the percentage change over the last 15 days from the CDC waste water data. Chaves County is wild.

All clear: The traveler from Tanzania who was hospitalized in Ohio with flu-like symptoms was found to have a routine illness. The hospital says it took precautions because the patient came from a region experiencing a deadly outbreak.

@HansMolemannnnn @reynoldsgareth @thedollop They are just using the 1700s spelling 😆

@reynoldsgareth @thedollop (check your Albuquerque spelling)

@reynoldsgareth @thedollop Yay! Albuquerque!

Love this trend. Did Trump get more votes? Uh, no, fewer. Maybe he won with black men? No, they overwhelmingly went for the dems. Perhaps with gen z white men... no? Ok then what was it? Oh, the dems managed to lose like 10 million voters since the last elections to abstention😬

@propublica This was harrowing, but it feels like it ends abruptly. I have no idea what actually happened to Ravi. It's only hinted at. It's especially strange since it's written with such detail that it feels like you interviewed him and he's still alive.

Ravi bought insurance thinking it would deliver on its promise of access to mental health care providers. After 21 phone calls and multiple hospitalizations, no one could find him a therapist. “I don’t want to die,” he told his mom. propublica.org/article/ambett…

@Shimmy4404 @MorePerfectUS @CNN Oh, my sweet summer child. It's happening in blue states, too. Some might even argue it's more egregious in blue states.

@MorePerfectUS @CNN This is what happens when your landlord goes from being the regular guy who lives up the road to a multimillion dollar corporation. But by all means keep voting #Republican. I promise you this is just the very beginning.

Rents rose by an average of 8% from 2022 to 2023, which was the highest annual average growth seen since 2000, according to @CNN.

@rachmph Here he is in the bathtub.

@BiobotAnalytics The fact that you did this with no notice on a Saturday and turned off the comments on the original post shows me you know this is wrong and you are fucking cowards and ghouls.

Updated respiratory report 📣: Influenza A levels remain slightly elevated in the Midwest, but overall, national respiratory activity continues to decline. Details here: biobot.io/risk-reports/i…

@BiobotAnalytics What the AF are you all doing?!? So many people rely on that public dashboard. You are monsters.

@JYSexton @sarahkendzior That's the high desert, baby!

@sarahkendzior This is…wild. It’s a near blizzard in the desert.

You know. Just driving by the Grand Canyon in late March in a hard snow with sleet. Normal stuff.

@OrCloneThereof @lorigspeaks I don't think you understand. Not voting for biden doesn't mean voting for trump.

@lorigspeaks So...she's urging people with Long Covid to support the Ivermectin/bleach injections guy who tried to hoard all the KN95s? Yeah, good luck with that.
