How come it's England rather than the UK in the World Cup? Concerning

@jachiam0 @Miles_Brundage Back in theaters July 22 if you want to be bummed out in 4K!

@Miles_Brundage TV Show + End of Evangelion movie is usually regarded as minimum watchable. The movie is suuuuuuper a bummer though.

The thing about Neon Genesis Evangelion is that it’s a huge bummer. Not sure if the good aspects make up for that

@KevinQ @StatsbyLopez We all know this will never happen (good to see you’re still producing excellent work!)

@StatsbyLopez Thanks! I'll pass it on to the talent

Don't be fooled by "as it stands" World Cup brackets. At best unhelpful, at worst badly misleading here's our current view of who the US might face — nytimes.com/athletic/inter…

@AndreaSJames 100%, love this city

I moved to Seattle 20 years ago, fell in love with it, and dropped anchor. The sports scene here is vibrant and unifying, It was wonderful to see the city shine her best for the World Cup. The beauty of the pacific northwest, the walkability of the city neighborhoods, and the community we have found, keeps us here. It’s easy to get down on the city because the fringe is really so, so fringe. But the vast majority of people are normal folks who love their green and blue teams (major league sports here all have similar colors) and want to chill outside over beers on summer nights that never end.

@binarybits It's been really disappointing to see him slide further and further into the most mid anti-AI criticism. He was a big influence on me in both academia and industry, but I can't even take him seriously anymore.

I'm sorry but this Cal Newport essay is insulting everyone's intelligence. It's like the guy has never heard of collective action problems. When a truck bursts into flames, that only hurts the car's occupants and maybe people right nearby. It doesn't hurt society as a whole.

@Miles_Brundage I can never remember when to use polite vs. familiar pronouns in French. Grok, is this tu?

1 +1 Grok, is this 2?

@_TarunKathuria That is ... substantial.

@quastora Yes that’s actually a reasonable point! That honestly was not what mattered as much as the job listing itself which is a fair amount of work at least based on the listing. All that for a slopfest that are Mr Beast videos…

Why does MrBeast need a senior ML/AI engineer 🤣 and why are 11 people from Google there lmaoo

@mde You're going to hate Nietzsche

Holy Christ, the interrogative titles, "Why this is important," "What this shows," "Why this is correct." The stench is just so overwhelming. Even when you tell them not to do it, they can't fucking help themselves.

@austinc3301 @Miles_Brundage The attorneys are Siri?

@Miles_Brundage not sure how to write this down, but like open aí, without spelling out AI but rather treating it like a syllable

I'm watching the Musk v Altman trial and I find it so funny that the lawyers apparently can't bring themselves to pronounce 'OpenAI' correctly lol

@0delay1 @PicturesFoIder Criminally underrated response

@PicturesFoIder They have Mike Skinner

If Eminem was British 🇬🇧

@tszzl Word … rotators?

the best tweets are like 50,000x better than the medium bangers. and some are even more sublime still. the skill ceiling on manipulating words is unknown

@PerrySolem Not dissimilar to what you see on many long-term Googler's profiles. Will just say something like "Software engineer 2010 - Present" with no updates or anything.

the people you encounter while cold-calling owners of commercial real estate in Florida this is pretty much the entirety of his linkedin profile.

@clairevo It's simply "we don't ever change what we eat for our kids, they just love a variety of grown-up foods naturally" but about AI.

I'm convinced all this "AI doesn't belong in parenting" nonsense comes mostly from people who haven't actually seen the tedium of "normal" parenting. I don't know any family that doesn't have to coordinate, shop, teach, etc. Your handwritten todo list has no moral value.

Agentic parenting is so unnatural, completely out of touch, "real" moms don't need all this, they keep it simple with the basics: - mom calendar, dad calendar, school calendar x however many kids, sports calendars x however many kids - mom email, dad email, school app x however many kids, whatsapp group for each classroom and sport / activity - shopping list in note or in app or on refrigerator - meal plans in their brain or on a whiteboard - pile of mail on the countertop - group text with mom friends of various sorts setting up playdates and coordinating carpools - amazon wishlists for classrooms + school supplies - google spreadsheets for snack signup for class parties and game days - cobbled together camp spreadsheets + hours dedicated to signing up on various activity platforms - homework nights bouncing between kiddos trying to remember your 8th grade geometry - crumpled growth charts at the bottom of your diaper bag from the pediatrician visits - waiting on hold with the pediatrician to find out if they can email --no, not fax-- vax records to the new school - looking at your kids pants going wait did you grow out of your clothes again, putting said pants in that "I swear i'll get a donation run in" bag that's been sitting in the garage, forgetting the bag, forgetting to order new pants - starting your kid on a delightful educational yt channel, looking away for 7 minutes, and accidentally exposing them to bizarro AI slop - googling "what fruit is my baby" when pregnant - carrying around a giant binder of printouts appointment to appointment if (god forbid) your child has special needs or a complex health issue - taking pictures on your phone you never have time to print - printing "kindergarden handwriting printables" off etsy or pinterest when you notice wobbly writing - scrolling doctor becky videos on insta when you notice your tween is sassy "Just be a mom."

@Lethain @zebriez "aggregating" a particularly apt typo here

@zebriez I wrote about this topic a while ago. It’s particularly aggregating to see someone else remix your work into greater visibility, but I’ve slowly convinced myself I’m playing a different game than they are 😅 lethain.com/plagarism-idea…

a few years ago, someone completely ripped off my writing. never cited me, emailed me, or thanked me publicly or privately. this person has a sizeable substack following and is revered for his craft (makes podcast appearances, etc.). it makes me mad. but not mad enough to stop writing for free.

@jasminewsun Really like the definition, especially with the explicit tradeoffs between utility and societal change. One of the clearest articulations I've seen and also instructive for why appeals to empiricism are ineffective.

I wrote about AI populism and Sam Altman's attackers: incidents like these are only warning shots for how nasty AI politics will get. From now until forever, “caring a lot about AI” will no longer be correlated with “knowing a lot about AI.” Most of AI's opponents view AI not as a specific technology but as an elite political project to be resisted. From that lens, the assassination attempts on Altman should be seen in a similar vein to the murder of Charlie Kirk and the UHC CEO. jasmi.news/p/warning-shots

@AndyMasley Imagine if it’s a reverse shadow-ban, where you’re the only user who actually sees their tweets and everyone else just sees you sliding slowly into insanity.

I feel like they’re just targeting me specifically now

@trq212 @ns123abc I find your patience and grace absolutely commendable and have remarked to others how dehumanizing I find the way many submit “feedback” to you. Please know that your work and how you show up for it are appreciated by so many!

unblocked (you and others) it honestly just sucks to be getting tagged like this when you're literally working on a Saturday trying to debug things for users- I've done so many calls this week trying to understand peoples usage the post itself wasnt bad but it leads to a lot of people piling on and feels personal but feedback taken, blocks are too broad given my role

WTF?!

@KelseyTuoc @JerusalemDemsas I mean, people on this site were also saying the other day that they couldn’t read first-person narrated fiction because it didn’t really feature them, the reader, as the narrator.

@MattZeitlin @JerusalemDemsas I'm confused about whether people have ever listened to a podcast. "As a surrogate for a perspective of some people in our audience, I'll ask a question I know the answer to" features in..... every episode?

i think it's ok that @JerusalemDemsas is asking her interlocutor to explicitly justify why something they're mad about is a big deal

@krishnanrohit "Not convincing", "flimsy quasi-evidence", etc. I guess I just don't really know what to say to you, man, if you see the connection here.

@quastora People are giving counterarguments just not convincing ones. That's to do with the strength of evidence. It's literally not to do with my priors in Bayesian terms. My entire complaint was people updating on flimsy quasi evidence.

A supermajority of the reactions to this seem coloured by are they using the right words or vibes as opposed to what they're doing, it's a continuing chronic problem with folks who say they care about safety.
