My question is: did he make this video of all the impressive musicians praising and following him? If so, I can call it now; he will never be great.
Oh, I don’t know. There’s this kid named Ethan French on TikTok and IG who wrote maybe the best song I’ve heard in the indie vein in the last … 10 years? Self meets Ben Folds meets Tame Impala? The song is called “Reckless and Arranged”

The latest from my genius friend @AvaKofman: a bewildering and disturbing tale from the world of gestational surrogacy. Told with extraordinary care and complexity — as a five-part podcast series. First (incredible) episode linked below.

The full phrase I most often hear is "taught to use AI responsibly," which is less naive about the state of usage but unfortunately assumes a whole apparatus of moral education from which the modern academy deliberately divested
The idea that students need to be "taught" how to use AI will never not be funny to me

I'm the guy trying to blur the distinction between the 9/11 hijackers and the first responders to the attack. Everyone in the building was the same to me. If you were in there you were probably up to no good. This is called "Building Theory" and I learned it in woke college

Nobody wants to hear Gary Cohen on the Mets SNY broadcast talking about how he would be a good Democrat political operative. Barf.

I have complicated and rapidly evolving feelings about AI existential risk but I find this argument extremely unconvincing – we achieved this ability in the mid-1950s and have come very close to using it several times. (And many important nuclear alarm-raisers were religious.)
It takes an incredibly impoverished, materialistic, hubristic, godless view of man to assume that we are so powerful as to be able to wipe ourselves out. There are real security concerns coming from AI, but we can address those without resorting to science fiction.

What’s remarkable about this is that @JGreenblattADL could easily say “we were a sponsor of this event but the hateful comments made about Muslim Americans isn’t in line with the @adl’s values. We condemn these comments.” But he doesn’t. Why?

Ilhan Omar got rebuked for saying “it’s all about the Benjamins” and Rashida Tlaib got censured for saying “from the river to the sea” but no one will censure Fetterman for channeling Randy Fine with his rank Islamophobia because dem leadership tacitly approves.
Democrats should be expected to condemn this shit, not Piker
