Therefore, we want to use our reach and call on all those who are entitled to vote to make their voice heard. We must not leave the EU to the far-right parties and must defend our democracies. Please vote.

realized after sniffing my own farts that one reason we're seeing chat bots instead of something useful is the training for the former is easier/cheaper. Training a narrow purpose model like below would require purpose built training: millions of photos of dirty/clean dishes in various poses/light

An AI enabled dishwasher should not talk to me. It should have a camera into its bay and detect there's still some bits on that plate so blast it directly. It should also have commandable jets. Thanks for reading

i don’t think too often these days about a certain incident but it’s still pretty wild that a magazine owner could fire his staff for organizing, get one of his few remaining goons to write an obviously bogus defense of him, express no remorse for any of it, & still kind of have a place on the left

For reference, below is a live-posted thread on South Africa's oral argument. (I suggest opening the last post so that the thread doesn't break.)

That's all for today. Israel responds tomorrow. I am extremely impressed by, proud of, and grateful to South Africa. This was an incredible presentation and I am cautiously optimistic that justice will prevail (a very, very rare feeling for a public defender in America!) 67/67

We live at a time when anyone can publish their thoughts anywhere. "Debate" is the cheapest and easiest form of discourse. It is *everywhere.* What we need are institutions that fortify debates with basic facts and, yes, close down debates where one side is plainly wrong.

At the time of writing, our staff are witnessing people being shot at as they attempt to flee the Al-Shifa hospital. MSF urgently reiterates its calls to stop the attacks against hospitals, for an immediate ceasefire and for the protection of medical facilities, medical staff and patients.

Over and over we’ve been told self-driving cars would solve our transport problems only for them not to deliver. In 2023, Waymo and Cruise told us their services had finally cracked the code — but a new scandal in SF shows they deceived us once again. We need to stop falling for their fantasies.
