@jfleming2870 @ProfRobAnderson No the point is even if her excuse was legitimate, the standard for recusing yourself is "appearance of bias" which is already met regardless of her intent or lack of intent

@ProfRobAnderson So to clarify: your position is that a judge *seeing* anti-Elon content on their social media feed is sufficient evidence of bias to disqualify them?

This is the funniest LinkedIn thing the Delaware judiciary has done since VC Laster deleted his account after picking a fight with Jon Macey. McCormick should obviously recuse, but for slightly different reasons than everyone is saying. I actually believe she probably didn’t intend to “like” the post. Yes, it’s possible she’s so technologically oblivious she doesn’t understand that people can see her likes. That seemed to be the case with Laster when he liked bad stuff before. More likely she probably fat-fingered the button while enjoying scrolling some anti-Musk content. But that’s exactly the problem. Her pathetic excuse that LinkedIn attached a fraudulent “like” is absurd, similar to when celebrities post something bad and say their account was hacked. The broader issue is that we’ve now seen multiple instances of Delaware judicial officers goofing around on LinkedIn and showing an appearance of bias. Laster had to have an intervention last time. It’s time for McCormick to finally face some consequences. The two of them are a liability to Delaware.

@deanwball I wonder of Anthropic has the balls to sue Hesgeth personally re harm from his tweet given the government lawyers' statements here

Pete Hegseth tweeted, basically, "this is my ultra-super official determination, and it is absolutely final," and the government's lawyers are standing in court with a straight face saying this "had no legal effect and no reasonable person should have concluded that it did."

@sabrdance @hradzka Don't see how it would interact tbh

@hradzka I would think this would interact in some way with the rule against perpetuities. That or this would seem to be a very obvious rule patch.

wait are rich people making LitRPGs real

@politicalmath @redlittenyoth naw the lawyers licensing Bar takes this shit seriously they will impose practice consequences

@redlittenyoth you're funny

The fact that the state attorney did this (and not some rando sleazeball defense attorney) is infuriating That they did this in order to deny a new trial to a woman who was (it seems) the victim of a vindictive prosecutor and a corrupt court is rage-inducing

@MegaCrit Your patch announcement was way too excited and should have had this disclaimer lol

Hey everyone, we appreciate all the feedback on the recent beta patch! Since we have a lot of new players that weren’t around for StS1’s Early Access phase and players who are new to Early Access games in general, we wanted to explain our patching methodology a bit. (1/4)

@allTheYud @gaughen I use paid models and they are still bad at hallucinating caselaw on niche topics (expropriation, adminstrative procedure etc.). It will get there but it's not there yet. And don't get me started on the westlaw/Harvey tuned models bleh

@gaughen There's a large gap here between paid models with reasoning enabled, and what you get for free. Would you like to reply with your exact prompt and I can show you how a paid model does on it?

I didn't realize how hilariously bad artificial intelligence was until tonight, when I asked it about something I'm an expert on. I asked it about zoning laws in Pennsylvania and the AI hallucinated case law that doesn't exist. Silicon Valley wants us to rely on this slop? 😬

@teachthemx3 That's why extracurricular competitive sports are so valuable

Conversation I just had with an AP: Me: “The first time many students will truly fail is in college or real life, when it actually costs them money. That shouldn’t be the first lesson.” AP: “not true…they fail and have to do test corrections.” Me: “No, that’s more like a temporary inconvenience. They put forth minimal effort and are guaranteed a passing grade.” AP: “There is no way to implement failure into the curriculum.” Me: “There is. It’s called accountability.” AP: (laughs) “That’s not going to happen.”

@sweatystartup @realmatt_re @Matt_Titan_ Pathetic

@realmatt_re @Matt_Titan_ Lot of people have the courage to give a 1 star. I’ll count on them

Rented a 7 bedroom mansion on Airbnb. Wish I would have rented a shitty hotel room.

@goodalexander @TMTLongShort That's why you go for second tier chinese cities or southeast asia

@TMTLongShort disagree, but longer convo the TLDR is if you're the type of person to globalistmaxx and optimize some regional dating phenomenon you're fundamentally not latin american and will inevitably have a massive culture clash hanging out on the porch chilling ... bc ur not chill

Exit. Go somewhere where you are a 9+ regardless of looks. Brazil, Colombia, Argentina it doesn’t matter.

@allTheYud Personally I am betting on the country containing Starlink rather than Shenzhen as the one with the advantage of "not on home turf" warfare

Obvious even before Ukraine: The effect of increasing military automation, including lesser AI, is to make logistics double-supreme instead of just supreme. The new game becomes (1) taking out $1M devices with $100K devices, (2) production. Obvious winner, China. This was already on my books as a major geopolitical line of possibility. That thought has now been heavily reinforced; it seems confirmed that the USA is wholly incapable of RAPIDLY researching and deploying CHEAP offenses and countermeasures; the US had to go begging to Ukraine, after utterly failing to even try to prepare in advance to shoot down Shaheds not with Patriots. The US military bureaucracy is not built for "build massive quantities of cheap drone countermeasures right now". It seems just flatly incapable of that as a matter of psychology and organizational dynamics. It couldn't even copy Ukrainian technology in advance. There's an overwhelmingly obvious candidate for which country would actually be good at the age of drone warfare; it's the country containing Shenzhen. Absent the nuclear equilibrium, China would possibly already have the ability to attack the USA and win on drone logistics -- unless of course China were intelligently waiting for the USA to collapse further, or for drone capabilities to improve further. We do live in a nuclear world. The default prediction is that no major nuclear power gets conquered or seriously invaded in their own homeland. That could change if... - China acquires the technology to shoot down ICBMs and submarine-launched missiles? - If the USA gets the sort of President who would accept a fait accompli of a billion gun-equipped robodogs getting smuggled into major American cities, such that the country was already being held hostage; and China said they'd respond to nukes with nukes? This President could be Trump despite his mad-dog quality if China has compromat on him? - AI destabilizes geopolitics in a way where an overwhelming non-nuclear advantage ends up meaning something even between major powers? The thought also occurs to me: After softening up the USA with Tiktok, and successfully bringing about the collapse of the USA's political institutions, parties, Constitution, the sort of fighting spirit that powers organized revolts, and all faith of the US populace in the US government and democracy itself... ...probably a LOT of people and especially the Gen Z kids would not flee into the hills to fight, if they woke up one morning to streets patrolled by gun-equipped robodogs that promised, in English with a slight Chinese accent, that from now on the streets would be safe, and China would build homes and high-speed railways. What good was voting doing them, anyways? Another line of possibility, not known to me to be impossible, is where China decides to gamble on NATO being in sufficient disarray, and offhandedly absorbs all of Earth that *doesn't* have local nuclear arsenals. The level of AI required to run the robodogs and drone fleets appears to me to be on the way very shortly if it is not already here. I don't know how one opposes this scenario without there existing some rich liberal society that is able to manufacture cheap frontier-tech drones quickly. I don't see how that society ends up being the USA without a revolution. My default expectation is that the nuclear countries go merrily on their way allowing China to build up overwhelming non-nuclear military supremacy, in the form of drone fleets that could be quickly repurposed and drone manufacturing that can be done quickly, while relying on nuclear deterrence as their sole real form of defence; in a strategy that they never consciously consider or really confront.

@LinkofSunshine Smuggling drugs, not bombs

So why can’t you leave unattended packages in airports Is the worry here that someone is gonna sneak a bomb through security and then… blow up a random gate? Thats not even a good bomb location!

@defaultusert @ItsMattsLaw The other issue is obviously whether posting ones returns constitutes a peppercorn or not

@c_mkho @ItsMattsLaw I agree that the language suggests that the offer is exclusively open to the other Twitter user, but the other party likely could choose to accept this offer by posting his returns and it’d likely be a binding contract. Terms are clearly defined.

babe wake up, new contract law exam question just dropped

@allTheYud @thurty33z I assume you'd be ok with their current products existing, just not the continuing research/improvement?

@thurty33z Yes, OpenAI and Anthropic should absolutely not be allowed to exist.

Just to be real clear, I am and have been in favor of international treaties to shut down escalation toward superhuman AI. I am against government control of advanced AI. I am also against private control of advanced AI. It must not be allowed to exist.

@nosilverv Start in childhood

I… do not understand how you're supposed to ever convey anything given the ginormous amount of background concepts you need to convey first

@isohelsgarden Why doesn't every tennis player just play like Nadal on clay

can some1 explain to me why this is the case? why doesn't every fox ever try to just play like Cody? id say a lot of good ult reps of their character likely play a LOT like their best rep/at least try to. theres a p clear answer in most cases as to what = optimal so just do that

@MartinShkreli Won't work because anthropic is a cult first and a corporation second

if i was $AMZN or $AAPL i'd consider making a bid for Anthropic $ANTR - $500B, over the top, straight to shareholders. the BOD has to consider what is in their best interest. if most prefs vote for it, it's over.

@GrahamCart52267 @ChrisPainterYup You don't have to have perfect strategy or APM to win, but you do need to crush your opponent to win. Playing an RTS with the aim of building is like playing chess with the aim of making beautiful pawn structures

@c_mkho @ChrisPainterYup However you want to. You should try playing one sometime. You don't actually have to have the perfect strategy and constantly clicking and using macros if you don't want to.

I liked real-time strategy games more as a kid when I thought they were about building a cool castle you’re proud of I like them less as an adult now that I realize they’re all about optimizing actions-per-second

@GrahamCart52267 @ChrisPainterYup Pray tell how do you win the single player RTS game

@c_mkho @ChrisPainterYup You can just play a single player RTS as well. That's why I play old RTS games. There are even online FPS games that aren't specifically about crushing your opponent. There's a whole world of games out there that don't fit your stereotype.
