And the support was just store credit, and not even that much of it in the grand scheme of things.

And it was completely a self-serving public relations play: they wanted to show that these respectable journalist organizations were willing to advertise on Xitter to try to convince some of their lost advertisers that it was okay to come back.

As the university presidents were trying to explain to Clown Shoes, sorry, I mean Elise Stefanik: Harassment is conduct that is severe or pervasive enough to create an environment that a reasonable person would consider intimidating, hostile, or abusive. A one-time generalized statement calling for genocide not targeted at a specific individual would not usually rise to the level of harassment per se, but can certainly be part of a pattern of harassment. Similarly, actual bullying is a pattern of abusive behavior and cannot be defined by any single act as it is often used colloquially.

That’s the game Stefanik is playing: She knows these universities’ policies are bound by the actual, legal definitions of “harassment” and “bullying” but she’s counting on her ignorant audience not knowing those definitions and instead thinking the words are defined as what they use them for in their own lives: someone being mean.

“Hell no we’re not paying for someone to write [scripts/dialogue trees/quests] for the game you’re developing; use the AI tool we bought!”

ANNs like this will always just present our own biases and stereotypes back to us unless the data is scrubbed and curated in a way that no one is going to spend the resources to. Things like this are a good demonstration of why they need to be kept far, far away from decision making processes.

Even though Netanyahu is Jewish, he knows using (and in this case abusing) the Christian bible

He’s citing the Hebrew Bible.

Musk clarified, “When I say payments, I actually mean someone’s entire financial life. If it involves money. It’ll be on our platform. Money or securities or whatever. So, it’s not just like send $20 to my friend. I’m talking about, like, you won’t need a bank account.” Musk’s remarks were obtained from an audio recording of the meeting.

Don’t use regulated banks and securities brokers, just give all your money and securities to Elon Musk’s new unregulated shadow bank / broker that used to be a functioning social media platform to look after! This sounds a lot like Sam Bankman-Fried’s pitch to investors about FTX* and Elon is about as trustworthy as Sam, right? I mean, close to it; Elon isn’t that much more untrustworthy than Sam. What could go wrong?

*“I want FTX to be a place where you can do anything you want with your next dollar. You can buy bitcoin. You can send money in whatever currency to any friend anywhere in the world. You can buy a banana. You can do anything you want with your money from inside FTX” ~ SBF

It’s always sad how easy it is for the owner class to convince many workers to rally for their own exploitation.

John Amann told NBC News he bought $2,200 worth of Trump Bucks and other items over the past year only to discover they were worthless when he tried to cash them in at his local bank.

Oh man I want video of him trying to cash them in at a real bank so bad.

During the September 27 interview, Yaccarino also claimed, "In the last 12 weeks alone, about 1,500 [advertisers] have returned. So whether it is small business or big brands, right? Like AT&T, Visa, Nissan, all returning." Of those three companies she specifically mentioned, AT&T is the only one that was a top advertiser pre-Musk, and the company has spent just $781 in the last 12 weeks — 99.96% less than the more than $1.77 million it spent during the 12 weeks before Musk's acquisition.

Visa and Nissan are similarly spending just a fraction of what they spent pre-Musk. Visa spent just $10, and Nissan spent just $687, in the last 12 weeks — 99.99% and 99.77% less than they respectively spent during the 12 weeks before Musk's acquisition.

The CEO of a company that was purchased for $44 billion less than a year ago is personally touting making $1,478 in advertising revenue from three multi-billion dollar companies in the past 12 weeks. I knew things were bad at Xitter but this defense just makes me realize things are so much worse than I could have imagined.

It's neat from a research and proof-of-concept perspective but practically speaking I'd like to see the CPU cycles required for the LLM compression compared to PNG or FLAC compression. We've always known we can increase compression by throwing more computing power at the problem but we settle on a happy medium at the intersection of "good enough" for compression and performance.
