Remember that former Guantanamo inmates have accused DeSantis of aiding in and enjoying torture. Cruelty is the point. DeSantis and others like him simply take pleasure in making as many immigrants as possible suffer, whether they are legal or not.

I remember when scientists were more focused on making AI models smaller and more efficient, and research on generative models was focused on making GANs as robust as possible with very little compute and data.

Now that big companies and rich investors saw the potential for profit in AI the paradigm has shifted to "throw more compute at the wall until something sticks", so it's not surprising it's affecting carbon emissions.

Besides that it's also annoying that most of the time they keep their AIs behind closed doors, and even in the few cases where the weights are released publicly these models are so big that they aren't usable for the vast majority of people, as sometimes even Kaggle can't handle them.

Kinda ironic I saw this post right after this other one lol: Three Democrats Re-Introduce Bill That Would Bring Ranked Choice Voting to Congressional Elections Across America

All those ads an pop-ups are really annoying. Printfriendly isn't perfect but does make the website a bit more readable: https://www.printfriendly.com/p/g/DYjpGu

Kinda funny that they inadvertently admitted that she did really well in the debate by calling her a "relentless debate machine".

9/11

Edit: At first I thought the joke was related to those "who did 9/11" memes that I see all the time on the internet, but only afterwards did I realize the date is actually 9/11 (hadn't seen any posts online about it yet and we don't talk about it at all in Brazil)

idk if that puts me ahead of or behind the curve...

This guy also has a whole post on Substack complaining that the left is too wary of age gaps in relationships and that this is an "attack on heterosexuality" or whatever. It's kind of funny how these "anti woke" types will decry that queer people are all groomers and yet proclaim that age gaps and adults dating teenagers is part of heterosexual culture under the same breath.

Anon doesn't know how to draw a circle in GIMP

Skill issue

An entertaining read that further cements Musk as an honest-to-god unhinged idiot. I've seen a lot of people speculate that him buying Twitter and tanking its value was some kind of genius plot, but the simpler explanation is that he's just unironically stupid and a bad businessman.

The fact that he has another burner account which he uses to get around blocks and hurl insults at others is both really funny and completely expected. I'm willing to bet a signed dollar that he has yet another alt that he uses to lean even further right and say the N-word on a regular basis.

Well yeah Andy Ngo does literally hang out with fascists so that's a given lol

Honestly I don't even really care that much that she's shoplifting, I find it hard to sympathize with a multi-billion-dollar company losing a small fraction of their profits.

But then she insists that she's not actually a shoplifter, and brags about her income and how she's a great person as if she's trying to separate herself from "the bad shoplifters", which gives me the same vibes as the article "The Only Moral Abortion is My Abortion".

The title looks like it's trying to imply that the thiefs specifically targeted her, when the article makes it more clear that they likely just tried to steal the car not knowing it was from the Secret Service.

Gotta add that clickbait for the views 🙄
