@emilykmay Solid advice. People are their most rational, objective selves in the early days of a relationship with someone they've started picturing a future with
English
when you end a decade long relationship and then repartner with someone else, you already know everything annoying about you that could potentially bother someone, so off the bat you can list everything someone else didn't like about you and find out if it's a dealbreaker.

I really hope the legal vibecoders come up with brutally efficient ways of suing the pants off people like this
Mike Miller@pt5films
We are about to see a massive explosion of epic fantasy turned into cinema. A Silmarillion film would need a $200M greenlight and Tolkien's estate blessing. I made the trailer anyway. Bookmark my full workflow + Seedance 2.0 prompts 🧵👇

@lextorias It'll still be a white guy, but the armor will be hot pink and ethically sourced

Please don’t turn it into woke DEI garbage
Nobody wants to see a RoboCop movie where the police suck, technology is evil, Detroit is filled with diversity, “capitalism” and white men are the real villain, and being turned into a robot isn’t cool

The ‘ROBOCOP’ reboot series has been greenlit by Amazon’s new head of TV (Source: theankler.com/p/why-is-peter…)

@DeryaTR_ Complains about moving goal posts. Makes up new game with 50 different goal posts
English
Yes. AGI level 1 has been achieved. Levels 2 and 3 are coming soon. Superintelligence (ASI) latest by 2028.
People can cope all they want, but this “how do you define AGI? No this is not AGI…” goalpost-moving game is going to be over very soon.

Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸@pmarca
I'm calling it. AGI is already here – it's just not evenly distributed yet.

@MaisieLynn17 I've always thought those books were overrated, but you just invoked Harry Potter for engagement and internet points. At some point, it's on you.
English
I actually do judge you if you still engage with Harry Potter while being fully aware of how fucking harmful that franchise AND its author are btw
English
AI actually uses a rare piece of punctuation called the w-dash. It's the same width as an em-dash, but it's upside down. So many people get this wrong.

So after all that drama… the people who skipped the COVID vaccine are just… fine? 🤔

Two things can and will be true:
- Yglesias is attempting to make a nuanced but mostly dumb argument
- The responses will be royally unhinged.
Bonus thing:
More journalistic output ≠ better journalistic output
(often the opposite, 24 hr news networks, rise of)
Matthew Yglesias@mattyglesias
Journalism is important. Large language models are a useful tool for improving journalistic productivity and increasing output. Journalists should use them more. slowboring.com/p/journalists-…

He broke the Yankees fanbase for two years running. That's all I really wanted out of this contract anyway. Rest easy, King.
SNY Mets@SNY_Mets
The Mets have placed Juan Soto on the 10-Day IL with a right calf strain He will miss approximately 2-3 weeks

@theashleyray A bar patio isn't exactly "outside", but I get your point

you say you go outside on this app and ppl start saying you're bragging, i forgot about this part of twitter. it's been awhile

It's good to see people flexing again about how much alcohol they can drink. I thought this went out of style in the 80s, along with Zima and styrofoam.

last night i had 3 margaritas, 4 shots, a glass of champagne and an espresso martini over 4 hours and i was fine. not even hungover rn

@BretWeinstein The cabal you're talking about is also known as congress and the judiciary and the electorate, you narcissistic dipshit
English
Trump, who I advocated for in 2024, has gone full "mad king." In considering my responsibility, I'd ask you to remember:
The case I made rested on the fact that Biden/Harris were figureheads, shielding a cabal that couldn't be held to account, whereas Trump could.
And we must.

This alone was worth the price of his contract
That’s Baseball, Suzyn@thats_bb_suzyn
The fans at Yankee Stadium lost us this game. Shame on all of you who chanted this little brother crap.

@johnennis That's the beginnings of AI psychosis. Nobody gets lonely from going deeply into quantum physics. You may need a detox
English
I think one of the biggest challenges when it comes to going hard into using AI is loneliness
I am learning all these awesome things and becoming super capable
But the set of people that I can really talk to about it is very small
Is anyone else having this experience?
English
@maddierune People hiss. Honestly, half your post reads like parseltongue.
English
I read and write every day and I’m begging authors to stop making people hiss their dialogue. The second someone hisses dialogue I spiritually clock out. I could read 700 pages in one day but the moment I read “she/he hissed” my brain glitches. Who is hissing? Where are these people? Why are they everywhere? You hiss once and I’m gone.

@m_ashcroft Tell it to play with your son if it likes him so much. No one should have to abandon their language slot machine addiction to spend time with family.
English
@useful_emetic These are good examples. It's hard to rule them out as just "a person who sucks at metaphor" but it's at least a clue. Other things to look for:
Variations in register, word preference, and gricean maxim violations (or more importantly, their absence)
English
The fraudulent AI novel arrived! I’m resolved to document its telltale stylistic tics out of personal interest and curiosity. I’m not going to bother with em dashes or the rule of 3 - I’m trying to get more complete insight into how LLM fiction differs from human fiction

It is adorable to me when people challenge Trump's "Christian" supporters on his language or anything else about his Christianity. Trump's Christian supporters worship Trump above Jesus and it isn't remotely close. Stop pretending it's even controversial at this point.
Eli McGowan@elimcgowan
Under Christian Nationalism, what do you do with a President who tweets “Praise be to Allah” on Easter?
