girly?.
If you're a French press girly, the Espro's filter consistently brews bright, grit-free coffee. Get it while it's on sale. #affiliatelink:

that Teslas are programmed to disengage Autopilot when a collision is imminent, in order to blame it on the driver, is breathtakingly cynical if true. i propose a pop-up prompt saying "are you sure you want to engage Full Self-Crashing mode?"

as someone who wrote many pieces for the TLS over a couple of decades i find this very sad, but here we are in the dumbest timeline.
Very depressed to learn that @TheTLS is going fortnightly as from 6 September. Little enough space for serious book reviewing as it is.

in fact, the perfect beach read is Le Rouge et le Noir: i never attained more "health benefits" than when i read that in Greece

did you chant "Death to the US Army" or "Death to the RAF" during the Iraq war? No? Then why are you chanting "Death to the IDF" now?. never mind, i know very well why.

the utility of a really excellent hostile review like this one in the @LRB, apart from its immediate (high) entertainment value, is that i can now know for sure that the book in question is a terrible book and i need never pay attention to its author again

your regular reminder that "artificial intelligence" is not only not intelligent: it's not even artificial.
Fauxtomation strikes again. Meta's new bonkers acquisition, Scale AI, is a glorified data labeling company, blessed with what it takes to win in this world: a myth-making and sociopathic CEO. Gig workers are predictably on the losing end of the deal.

are there any ashamed nations or is literally every nation a "proud nation".
Historians will one day wonder how it was that someone so famously lacking in good judgment could have been the man to lead the world’s most powerful nation into a war with a proud nation 90-million strong that did not, in any meaningful way, threaten the lives of its people.

these dumb fucks really believe "the entire corpus of human knowledge" is already on the internet.
We will use Grok 3.5 (maybe we should call it 4), which has advanced reasoning, to rewrite the entire corpus of human knowledge, adding missing information and deleting errors. Then retrain on that. Far too much garbage in any foundation model trained on uncorrected data.
