One thing I would like to be able to do with a Chatbot LLM is correct it the moment I start to see it's "Thoughts" going off the rails. Currently, I can stop it, tell it where it was wrong, and have it go back, but there's already a good bit of context contamination by that point

I am unimpressed with ChatGPT gift suggestions. I may as well go to the yearly listicles that tell me to buy my wife a "Live, Love, Laugh" wine set. No thanks, I guess I'm on my own.

Impression driven ads, even when you guarantee they are only viewed by real human eyeballs, are not the same as TV ads. TV ads demonstrate "social proof" and create FOMO. This does not happen when you show someone an ad in-thread. Social media ads have no clothes. Often

It's interesting that the profile lists Android as the platform on my profile since I've only recently installed the Android app. 99.9% of my Twitter traffic is on desktop. It must be displaying the most recent.

I sold my NVIDIA shares today after the pop. I don't care if this isn't the top, I'm done worrying about it.

For Christ's Sake kids, Alpha Gal syndrome is not an engineered pathogen. In fact, it's not a pathogen at all. It's the bugs saliva causing an immune response that just so happens to suck, a lot. There is no 'engineered virus' conspiracy afoot. AGS is known since the 90's.

The Big Short went Big Bust. On November 10th (4 days ago) Michael Bury liquidated his hedge fund and is in the process of returning money to his investors. Yet people are still using his short sentiment as 'evidence' of a bubble. We may be in one, but he don't know.

You have to take into account all of the defense value, the availability of resources to the interior of the country, and the immunity from attacks on both coasts.. certainly the land value is not enough by itself... I'm including all the strategic benefits.

I don't know who all needs to hear this, but a company is not an embodiment of their CEO.

Instead of proposing to give us back some of our money that you took from us in tariffs as a stimulus check, perhaps you could just not take it from us in the first place...

I have an idea: if nobody passes a budget, the last budget passed automatically goes into effect, so they have to pass a budget if they want to change it. No shutdown opportunity to hold the public hostage.

The daily show supercuts of Eric Adams sound bytes are too funny to be true. God bless real life sometimes.
