In the Multiverse, 99.9% of Stephen Millers have been given the nickname Weird Stephen by their various bosses at some point.

You may enjoy, if you aren’t already familiar with, FDR’s Four Freedoms concept.

There are FOUR freedoms!

Good day to you, sir!

I love Victorian passive-aggressions, so I withdraw my original objection.

I don’t buy it.

A diversity of regulatory approaches especially in such a complex subject really does need the 50 state laboratory.

In fact because states are smaller markets, it might encourage the development of more smaller companies. A complex regulatory landscape gives an efficiency edge to players who focus product development in specific states.

Anything to keep this shitshow happening in a more democratic way is fine by me. Anthropic and that Altman fellow seem so desperately out of touch with humanity, I welcome any disadvantages we can give them.

Yeah! Great to hear. Please continue to be a fixture in your neighborhood.

As Fred Rogers told me once, in a conversation that was just between us, a friend is a person in your neighborhood.

There are other methods that are clinically valid beyond CBT. Don’t give up. Somatic approaches that bypass the prefrontal cortex can be really effective too. The new hotness is showing that all that word-making can get in the way as much as it helps.

If that interests you, search ‘top-down bottom-up’ therapy approaches.

I used to love watching My Horse The Sex Pest on Nick at Nite!

‘Case in point’ ffs

I want a Nerdy Gurdy so freaking bad. Nerdy Gurdy

A true gentleman knows how to appreciate a beautiful person without giving themselves whiplash.

It’s southern hemisphere for sure

I’m jealous of your gritty existence.

I miss my Razr. It had the most satisfying feel and look when you flipped it open, star trek communicator style.

It definitely does in my experience. I have intentionally used it for specific tasks for defined periods of time. And then stopped and used only my normal online search tools and a text editor without AI assistance. My projects were written concept development, plus some light coding to create utility scripts.

From just my own experience there is definitely a real cognitive hazard associated with using LLMs at all, for all but the most specialized tasks where an LLM is really warranted.

The scripts worked fine, as they were quite simple python utilities for some data cleaning, so I see a use there. But I found that the concepts never caught fire in my imagination, whereas usually a good share of concepts developed manually turn into something that gets a deeper treatment, even a prototype design at least.

Lucky people. They will have a period of mourning and then enter a cultural renaissance.

The tighter they squeeze, the more systems slip through their grasp.

Two accomplices are responsible for the damage, one does the deed, the other intentionally puts up ineffective resistance to those deeds. Our legal system has a term for this: accessory to the crime. It carries significant penalties for a reaaon.

Come on everybody. Pointing out that the Democrats are also failing us in different ways is NOT bOtH siDEz!!
