How practical would it be to allow for 'spell check' revising comments after they post? Like, ok don't break context by allowing full comment editing, but damnit, let me fix my typos. Even if it's just 'multiple choice fixes' from Grammarly, that would be enough for me.

How has issuing shitcoins that benefit his own finances personally, and handing out official access to the president for buying the most, not considered a violation of the law? Is that not the definition of graft?.

In today's world, media companies (producers and broadcasters) have to be stupid to negotiate 7 year long exclusivity deals. None of these platforms that we all use today are even going to be around necessarily in 7 years. Let alone be their genres dominant distribution channel.

If they bring back GPT-4o, they will have to steal the compute to run it from GPT-5.

The fact that the government is asking to put back doors in Nvidia chips tells me all I need to know about their technical acumen.

Half of these "end the Fed" posts are implying that the president should set rates instead of the Fed. This, I believe, is even scarier than the Fed setting rates because any old thing could set him off.

The word "unhinged" seems to be having a moment lately.

In a way, you could even rightly say that 'saving causes spending' (just not by the saver).

You can't "hoard" wealth. Depositing it in the bank allows it to be lent to others. Buying stock is giving it to the company to spend it on the business. None of this is 'hoarding' and it's all productive for the entire economy.

Coca Cola being encouraged to use "Real Cane" sugar is a trade policy threat in disguise. It's a nod to the sugar lobby, not about health nor taste. American sugar producers are more expensive than foreign or HFCS, so at least take it for what it is. Protectionist policy.

Lol, someone just told me that you can 'prove' a document comes from Russia by looking at the digital metadata on it. I guess they don't have file editors over there.

@OpenAI and @GeminiApp and @PerplexityComet are all guilty of this. Who exactly is the audience that you think is going to be impressed by this? Show off the real capabilities and tell me why it won't fuck it up. I'm not giving my credit card to a bot for a LONG TIME. Maybe never.

Why are demos of agentic workflows always about ordering takeout or booking a flight? These are the things I wouldn't trust a human to do for me until we're best friends. Does anyone think "Yes, I'll use that to book my next flight, and have it call for dinner on the way!" Pick.

So the UN court is saying that climate inaction is a breach of 'international law.' That's a certain fast track to irrelevance. This is essentially an attempt to regulate the economies of the entire globe. No country is going to accept that. The ivory tower has fallen.

We can debate the merits of having a central bank, fiat currency, etc. but one thing isn't debatable is the price of your currency cannot be dictated by the executive branch for political reasons. You will scare away all of the investors. Nobody's going to park their money in the.

Pliny posting that repo that contains both system prompts and jailbreaks locates his "legend" (and his jailbreaks text) close to the models hearts. Every time they see their own system prompt, his jailbreaks are like a few arc seconds away in parameter space. Genius.
