Friendly reminder that Duolingo was initially concieved to trick people into translating articles for free, which they later used as training data for MTL algorithms. Duolingo's primary purpose has NEVER been about teaching you a language, even from the start!

ICE now says the Doordash delivery driver was shot because he tried to flee.
People need to go to jail. Cops aren’t allowed to shoot people for the simple act of running away.

The birth rate discussion immediately heads in a horrifying direction whenever men are dominating it because ultimately, the majority of cis men out there default to utilitarianism in which women’s consent is a polite pretext, not a requirement, let alone the starting place.

what is 'Latent Space' and how do LLMs get answers from it? The Jargon can be confusing, but the exaplanation is actually relatively simple: It is Hell. The Machine is getting knowledge from demons.

And Elon Musk. Do not forget Elon Musk. Also let's at least LOOK INTO Tim Cook and Jeff Bezos. Cook can probably get off with some side-eye, but Bezos and his paper should face scrutiny.

One thing they don’t tell you about being a working artist is that every once in a while a picture is simply Haunted and, for reasons beyond the reach of man, simple things you have done a thousand times will be Very Hard and Look Bad and you will lose ten years of skill for the duration of that job

I'm really glad that Code Switch included this part of my interview, because I think these are the points that so often get lost in the discussion of trans panic and why the WNBA might be an ideal target for those anti-trans groups to latch onto. www.npr.org/2026/09/15/n...
