Hence our dismal conclusion: rather than finding that LLMs free us to do a better job of what we were doing before they came along, they shift scientific incentives (and the playing field of academic competition) in ways that compel us to do more and more, faster and faster, less and less well.
So the ex-Boilermakers Union International President who was convicted of embezzling millions of dollars from the union stopped paying his lawyers, and now they're trying to drop him right before sentencing What a shitshow
Convicted ex-Boilermaker leader’s law firm withdraws as counsel prior to sentencingNewton Jones told the judge he can’t afford to pay his legal bills and that if he qualified financially, he would request a court-appointed attorney to represent him.www.kansascity.comJust the absolute sewerist socialism and I am here for it
Mayor Zohran Kwame MamdaniNow this is the kind of trash talk we can get behind. We’re containerizing neighborhoods by taking trash off our sidewalks and allowing mid-size buildings to trade in their wheelie bins for a bigger, better, cleaner alternative: Empire Bins. It’s time to put a lid on it, New York.

One of my favourite stories from the early days of 2020 is the Harmac pulp and paper mill in Nanaimo. They doubled their production of a specific grade of pulp used to manufacture medical gowns and masks. Harmac Pacific is BC based, and their 350 employees own a 25% share of the company.

We mean not socially distancing quickly enough, not making tests widely available, and not acknowledging COVID is airborne and distributing N95 masks to everyone.
Similar to "that sounds like some weird nazi shit" in response to right wing talking points, you can respond to things like this with "that sounds some nutjob conspiracy bullshit to me." Never engage with their ideas, only ridicule them. Eat the frame.
Mike RothschildThe overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.

Robert Evans (the Only Robert Evans)The only responsible attitude for liberals and progressives to align on is that all right-wing grievances, claims and believes are not only false, but malicious lies. Nothing passes the mouth of an American conservative in public life that is not meant to harm and destroy the lives of millions.
