LLMs are not and will never be good enough to replace human labor. Augment it, sure, and that could lead to fewer jobs but that’s not generally what happens. They are, however, good enough for execs to think they can replace human labor.

Nope, they tried. But it turned out that Infowars had so few assets that when the Onion said they’d keep it running and pay royalties to the plaintiffs, that made them the best offer.

Oh, I loved it. I’ve read all three twice. But no book is for everyone! That’s why there are so many different books. :)

This landmark was featured in The Golden Enclaves, the third book in Naomi Novak’s wonderful Scholomance trilogy.

Well geez, ok. It’s a podcast I enjoy listening to.

They’ve been accusing him of being too grabby with his women co-stars (no evidence of this, and the co-stars in question say he isn’t) and whining that he’s just in too many movies/shows these days (no more than other prolific actors). Smells like astroturfing and surprise, it is.

We The People Dissent has been posting lists of virtual protest opportunities for No Kings as well!

They’re going after everyone, they don’t need an excuse. Fuck them, I’ll be public about what I’m doing to oppose them.

There are some articles about his death linked on Wikipedia but they’re pretty just-the-facts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Kyanka

I switched to standing-only for my work desk about 12 years ago. The first 3 weeks were agony; my hips hurt so much. I stretched a lot, which helped some. Then suddenly it was easy, and ever since I can stand for hours, no problem.

A squishy mat is a must-have, and I also have a footrest to be able to change up my posture through the day.

They did a good job covering that in The Last of Us (season one, episode…4 or 5?): 20ish years post-apocalypse, someone very prepared has kept battery cells in a refrigerator (in acid maybe?) and they have to rebuild the battery before they can use the car, but the battery works.

I think he also genuinely can’t comprehend anyone doing anything that isn’t for personal gain.

Sometimes it’s easier to stop something if you understand why it’s happening.
