"people are anthropomorphizing LLMs because they are so astonishingly good at processing human thought and language" people will anthropomorphize a chair if you put the stitches in the right place.

For a certain kind of white man, there is no fear more primal than the fear that the people they have abused will gain power and treat them the same way.

How about this: We pass a law that says residential and essential services customers get utilities priority, and whatever's left over can go to data centers and other private businesses?

Two good films were made about their story, one more about the complete story, the other more about what happened after the capture.
I encourage you to watch them both, start with the 1980s one as it's about the whole story;
Die weiße Rose (1982)
Sophie Scholl: The Final Days (2005)

RIP Christoph Probst, Hans & Sophie Scholl were executed by guillotine on this day in 1943 for writing and spreading leaflets against the Nazi regime.

This sounds unbelievable but its true: since Bezos acquired The Post, his wealth has grown tenfold and the Post has been cut in half.

Fear not, Greenland, for we are sending you our unaffordable healthcare that will surely be better than your *checks notes* free healthcare and we are also sending *checks other notes* measles 🫡
I foolishly assumed that this Trump post tonight made no sense to me because there is some medical situation in Greenland of which I am uninformed. But so far all the news reports I’ve seen are saying that it is unclear what he is talking about.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Trump's racism never hurt him in New York real estate, publishing, media, landing a network series, or in getting elected president, which is why I'm stunned to learn that he's still racist.

That's not most people, obviously, but it's also not that rare.
To put that in perspective: people who are neither XX nor XY are more common than people with Multiple Sclerosis. Roughly as common as people with Down syndrome, or people with Parkinson's disease.
