It’s so funny to me that in the React world an “app” is something that like, shows a drop-down menu and then updates the text on the page based on what the user selected. Buddy that’s a Web site!
But what if every letter in the word was used? What if we could have a dense network of interlocking squares, where every letter was part of exactly two words? Well, we can, and it’s called an American-style crossword.
The thing will feed you trash. It’ll feed you fake wisdom from fake people and beg you to trust it. But if you want to make a fast, beautiful system — to sculpt the kind of software that gets embedded in pacemakers and missile guidance systems — you better throw that bot out the airlock and learn.
In this case, Rodriguez spoke in the language of anti-Zionism, but he acted with the logic of antisemitism, which has as its foundational myth that all Jews are collectively to blame for the policies of the Israeli government and, often enough, for the ills of the world.
I don’t know with what tools Claude 5 will build itself, but Claude 6 will be built with sticks and stones.
You look around the world and you see lots of places that have mass transit practices that American cities can learn from. But when you look at these cities — Tokyo, Seoul, Paris, Munich, Zurich, you name it — there is no major global city that is making the bus free.
Many countries have bad supply-side housing policy, which can create a zero-sum dynamic around immigration that has destructive downstream consequences for both politics and economics.
Admittedly I haven’t heard a single second of his music, but is there really no possibility that, like his most recent offering, none of Kanye West’s discography has any sort of artistic merit or critical worth whatsoever, and it’s somehow taken until this release to finally collectively admit that?
Vuong told an interviewer, “It took me a long time to reply, ‘I’m not going to translate that.’” But there is a world of difference between being accosted on the street for not speaking English and being asked at a reading to explain something that you, a very famous poet, have just read aloud.
At this point I’d believe you if you told me OpenAI somehow influenced the choice of Pope so that people who up until now have sworn off AI are instead furiously getting ChatGPT to show him holding up a shot glass of Malört or whatever
Where Eastwood’s depiction of the aviation system distorts it to his own ends, Fielder’s analysis of it is vastly more insightful and no less dramatically powerful.
Don’t let a computer write for you! I say this not for reasons of intellectual honesty, or for the spirit of fairness. I say this because I believe that your original thoughts are far more interesting, meaningful, and valuable than whatever a large language model can transform them into.
Forget the totally implausible tech, the thing that really takes me out of a Black Mirror episode is an American character saying “the studio are.”
I can’t explain it but calling it the “Elvis operator” in Kotlin because “this thing kind of looks like that thing” (with no concern for what the operator actually does) is the most Google-coded thing I’ve ever heard
Want to read: The AI Con by Emily M. Bender 📚
The newest and most powerful technologies — so-called reasoning systems from companies like OpenAI, Google and the Chinese start-up DeepSeek — are generating more errors, not fewer. As their math skills have notably improved, their handle on facts has gotten shakier.

I flat out refuse to believe that “Elmira” is a Soviet-era name derived from “electrification of the world.” Come on.
Have some self-respect. Add that red-underlined word to your OS’s spelling dictionary before sharing a screenshot of your Notes.app note.
