The Times-Picayune has been "failing" for decades. They are in perpetual struggle. Here's a 60 Minutes piece about them from 2013 about literally the same thing.

I think we gotta point out obvious stuff.
I say this as a progressive: A genuine problem with the left has been we sorta just assume everyone knows the same "basic" stuff.
When someone doesn't know something, we treat them like they're an idiot and refuse to teach them. We're wrong here.

I keep seeing people ask what CNC is. Sorry in advance: Consensual Non-Consent is rape play. You and your partner(s) agree in advance to very few, or no limits during sex. So if someone says "No, stop", all parties agreed in advance to ignore that.
Imo? CNC perfectly defines the AI bros.

I have learned that something that makes my 71yo Baba active and perk up is cringe comedy. So to get him moving on Labor Day I put on Scott's Tots, and he's both mortified and cleaning up his room.

I don't see how one of the four pilots responsible for crashing Asiana Flight 214 went on to work for the DoD, but frankly it speaks to Hegseth's gross incompetence and dedication to racism.

"A Quantum of Jew-particle" remains Bob Dylans most difficult work.
I find this quite difficult to parse but I thiiiiiink Elon thinks he’s magnanimously describing white-skinned Jews as white but holding out the possibility that we contain a quantum of Jew-particle?

1/ There's legitimate grievance about Zitron. And then there's this. Most of this is opinion. "5 was a substantial leap over 4.5" you kidding me?
IMO a decent chunk of his hating is cuz it pays well being the #1 ai hater, so he will do annoying, play dumb stuff like asking "wHaT dOeS iT eVeN dO?!!"

![Feb 2024: "I believe we're reaching the upper limits about what generative AI can do and how accurate its outputs can be."

March 2024: "Have We Reached Peak AI?"; another prediction that hallucinations mean that AI progress is limited to then-current levels
Wrong
April 2024: "As I previously warned, artificial intelligence companies are running out of data ..."; another prediction that models can't improve because there's no more data
Wrong
June 2024: OpenAI growth is stalling (with the implication it will continue to stall), which will lead to some kind of collapse of OpenAI
Wrong (it could be the case that OpenAI will collapse but, if so, it won't be due to any kind of growth stall from 2024)
July 2024: "Generative AI, as I said back in March, is peaking, if it hasn't already peaked. It cannot do much more than it is currently doing, other than doing more of it faster with some new inputs"
Wrong

It’s a lesson that if in 2029 or 2033 or ever we get a chance to fix what’s broken, we have to fix it and ignore institutionalist complaining. Cause they will complain.
we can learn a lot how Magyar launched “Operation Cleansing Fire” to reform the courts and completely de-orbanize Hungary
the funniest things to me though is that
1. this has been an extinction-level event for Fidesz
2. human rights Watch is mad about it for some reason, truly beyond parody
