It's weird to me that almost nobody uses "sour grapes" correctly, including Ossoff today and everyone who commented on his remarks. It's not another way to say that someone is bitter or a sore loser. (1/2)
He is always alluding to some mysterious new war that is coming soon, which is said to destroy Washington DC. But conveniently the solution to this is once again the billion-dollar ballroom he wants (now with drones on top). This has definitely reached a Dr Strangelove level of satire.
He offered his condolences on a post mourning a dead cat. Make his timeline nothing but dead cats and dogs for the next two weeks.
Not sure how anyone who is paying attention can still call this a "stochastic parrot". OpenAI's general-purpose reasoning model (not math-specific) just disproved a central conjecture by Erdos which all experts in the subfield had spent time pondering. #AI #math #computing
I was told by someone on Bluesky that this book from the 1980s is no longer relevant.
An AI chatbot getting tired of helping Nate Silver and telling him to "wrap it up" is just objectively funny.
I'm intrigued by the idea that reading comprehension is gradually but steadily declining on the internet. Newsom made a relatively simple joke that takes ten seconds to understand, yet he's flooded with replies of the "Bush was bad/dumb though! How could you say that!?" variety.
