This is not only (obviously) an LLM job, but a Temu LLM at that. This is way below current GPT or Gemini or Claude. NOT that I'm advocating those as replacements for State Department humans. Just sayin. Electrolytes are what plants crave.

I saw this a lot from my students though: thinking that their grandparents had actually been adulting 100 years ago. Which really amounts to saying that "100 years ago" just means "a long time ago", or the Before Times. So yes, not super literal, if that also means "can't think historically".

I thought it was so much funnier just as a screenshot. The vid itself *could* have been funny if it had just shown the coffin rocking slightly, and DJT trying to decide how to deal with that.

I was born in '63, but even my grandparents would have just been maybe taking their first jobs in 1926. The poster is either considerably older, and thinks their entire audience is too--or they're young enough to have no conception of how generations actually work.

Have to admire his careful phrasing though. "our FIRST wishes" will broadly benefit humanity. But after those first few, then look out. That will be right about the time that (as he basically says here) our newfound magical power has made us unbalanced, so.

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking of. The US auto lobby (including the UAW) is not going to welcome the competition from China.

In 2008 I took a bunch of high-test weed on a plane from DEN to SFO, concealed inside a series of hollowed-out chocolate sandwich cookies. No baggie, but I figured we could bake with whatever we couldn't smoke...

That's cool. But in the US it would be $30k with tariffs. When we get a Dem (or just less-MAGA) admin, it will be very interesting to see whether the China auto tariffs stick around.

Well, we've already had Heath Ledger in "A Knights Tale" (2001). There are also full-length anime features of Sir Gawain & the Green Knight, and Dante's Inferno. And of course many adaptations of Beowulf.

In theatres, this Fall: Red. Wheel. Barrow.

Claire Danes is Elizabeth Bishop. Benedict Cumberbatch is... THE FISH. In theatres this October.

Seth, do you know the Laurie Anderson song from "Strange Angels" that features this quote? Song is "The Dream Before." You might not know Anderson either. In addition to quoting Benjamin, she's got songs about Gravity's Rainbow & about W. S. Burroughs. & was married to Lou Reed...

The Mesopotamians were NOT BROWN, that's woke revisionism. Abraham came from Ur, their oldest city, and Jesus was a descendent of Abraham, and he was blonde w/blue eyes. I've got a picture right here! Get a brain, morans!

Ike (who installed the Shah) would never have been elected w/out his role in WW2. Which was FDR's fault. So we can skip all the middlemen and go right to blaming FDR.

Whenever my last indoor/outdoor cat was outside for more than an hour without reappearing, I knew she'd fallen down a well (there were, of course, no wells within probably 40 miles, but she had found one).

well it's got "FRONT TOWARD ENEMY" printed on the nose of the shell, so...

"While Dem political operatives breathed a sigh of relief when John Cyclops and Sarah Circe withdrew their bids, they now had to brace for the nomination of Paris Troy, despite the fact that both he and his dad Priam were North Maine loggers"

We don't typically bother reporting on amounts under a trill, now. But I mean that is 8/10s of a trill, so i guess kinda a lot?

Like Reagan said, "Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall and rebuilt it on your southern border. And make the Afghanis pay for it."

Both are true. His dad was named Homer, but he has also said he took the name Homer Simpson specifically from West's Day of the Locust. Groening's Homer has several characteristics of West's Homer, just dialed back to a much gentler, less dark type of humor (But "Life in Hell" is closer to West).
