“ICE and Border Patrol agents have a disturbing track record of sexually and violently abusing women and children, including members of their own families."

Universal coalgebra unifies both the study of discrete state transition systems like automata and the study of continuous dynamic systems at the intersection of analysis and physics. In each case it gives us a generative account of the dynamics, distinguishing the flow from the output behaviours.

The tech has genuine problems but they’re extremely fixable.

Yah the problem is not the tech, it's the genuinely vile oligarchs who run the big tech companies and their very poor understanding of consent. They are like 90% of why so many people hate it lol

This isn’t about expertise or experience it’s about seeing AI as inherently evil and shunning anyone who openly and unashamedly admits to using it.

as promised, the conversation where chatgpt 5.6-sol proves that there does exist a parsing expression grammar that recognizes all palindromes the proof machinery is v. weighty but it's all spelled out explicitly it got long but this is part 1: motivation and discovery chatgpt.com/share/6a6420...

it's been downright surreal sitting here next to @langsec.hacker.gf getting all excited about getting novel probably-publishable results in formal language theory out of chatgpt all weekend and then seeing posts like this go by

I am pro-AI (if used properly) and pro-datacenter (if built/operated properly) and if you don’t like it the block button is right there.

LMAO I got blocked. Hate to break it to anyone who doesn’t know this, but AIs have gotten dramatically better at math over the past couple years. If you want to go full head in the sand with Zitron you can, but this shit is real, powerful, and useful, when correctly employed.

“One Nation” is really going about as close to the line as you can without being overtly Nazi.

More to the point, this is happening in *non-white* countries as well: Japan, Turkey, and India have huge far-right nativist blocs. So it's not merely white supremacy or nostalgia for the days when the West ruled. Nor is it happening purely in developed post-material countries.

I am literally doing mathematical research right now using an AI as an assistant and i assure you. It can count to ten.

Had a weird comment on a post I made about tofu the other day suggesting that enjoying Chinese or South east Asian cuisine is cultural appropriation and I just wanted to point out for anyone who didn't know: You know we're allowed to enjoy other people's cultures right? Just not exploit them.

LMAO tell that to Terence Tao

that odyssey review was pretty funny but also kind of like if wes anderson did the iliad and someone went long on how everything looks like a diorama and the characters have a flat affect and there's a general named "Gen. Greek Tragedy" and like yes i understand that is a wes anderson movie correct

Fires in France have now burned over 91,000 acres, by far the most of any year since the satellite record started in 2006. Current area burned is about 34x larger than this date in a typical (median) year:

Congress really needs to pass a law mandating a large, distributed, resilient national database of all publicly available legal records. And pay for it.

This suggests that the reason LLMs are so damn good at math and programming is that mathematicians and programmers have obsessively digitized a colossal amount of open-source materials. arXiv and GitHub vs PACER and the roiling clusterfuck of state law jurisprudential records.

100% agree with this, and I like to use them in physics for that reason. Plus it incentivizes people to really get started reading the course literature on day 1, which is something of a problem to get them to do.

This is interesting empirical evidence that the weakness of LLMs in law is fundamentally about a poorly digitized legal and jurisprudential corpus.
