Which I find extremely odd, since some traditionally masculine activities are nature oriented. Hunting, fishing, outdoorsy stuff in general. It wasn’t that long ago that (environmental) conservation was a huge component of those activities to ensure continued access for people to those activities. Maybe it still is but I certainly don’t get that impression as strongly anymore.
What I don’t understand is how Microsoft has/has Watson which was able to answer questions well enough to go on Jeopardy and dominate. And now, more than a decade later these LLMs absolutely suck at it.
It makes me wonder if Watson was nothing more than a Mechanical Turk because what is out there now seems like a huge step backwards.
I will not stand for this! Rankine will be the standard! It will confuse and infuriate everyone equally. Truly the fairest of outcomes.
That creates its own potential (unintended) problems. There’s no one size fits all solution to gerrymandering.
Dave Wasserman did a really great job going through all sorts of potential solutions and the benefits and flaws.

Short answer, it’s complicated. Long answer, read the piece, it’s really good.
Fascists are funny like that
They would come up with work arounds in six months.
Six months. I give it 6 minutes. Tops
My biggest fear with this proposal is that lower wage positions just get offloaded or somehow classified as “independent contractors” or consulting or some other bullshit. Or they create some shell company to all these positions. Or some other chicanery.
Don’t get me wrong, I agree in principle. But God damn if actually enacting and enforcing wouldn’t be some legal whack a mole with these slippery bastards
New? Hardly. Republicans have been using Iran as a scapegoat for decades. I can remember Bush admin being filled with Iran hawks and I wouldn’t be surprised to see it go back to Reagan or further still
Honestly, it’s had pros for even longer. The USSR “amateurs” were members of the Red Army whose entire job was their sport.
Log scaling?
I think the other concern is voter turnout/enthusiasm. The last presidential election had extremely high turnout. Even if voters (in swing states) don’t switch candidates but opt to stay home instead that could translate into a significant electoral problem too.
Maybe I’m missing something, but my read is that it creates a mechanism/standard for labeling content. If content is labeled under this standard, it is illegal to remove the labeling or use it in a way the labeling prohibits. But I don’t see a requirement to label content with this mechanism.
If that’s the case I don’t see a problem. Now, if all the content is required to be labeled, then yes it’s a privacy nightmare. But my interpretation was that this is a mechanism to prevent AI companies from gobbling up content without consent and saying, “What? There’s nothing saying I couldn’t use it.”
The next big damn that needs to break is a 4 day work week. There’s been more than enough studies showing it works. If a big company went to 4 days and a good remote (or even hybrid 2 in 2 out) they would be an absolute talent magnet and everyone else would be forced to follow suit.
Remote work has been great as I get nearly one working day a week back in commuting time and prep time. I’d gladly give some of that back to go hybrid for a 4 day hybrid schedule. Especially for work that is creative or intellectual focused, 40 hrs just has so much unproductive time. Hell I’m pretty sure we could find 8 hours a week in pointless meetings that could just be cancelled and replaced with emails to make this work.
Seriously. If you’re going to leak to the press at least just say the fucking name
Real executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not some farcical aquatic ceremony
No but the white wars against white supremacists were in 1860 and 1940 so 80 years apart.
Pretty sure Spirit still does
