Almost every time I mention to someone that 55% of American adults take 0 flights a year they have to recheck the data multiple times before they accept it.
🧑🍳💋 "like blaming Photoshop or Microsoft Word for putting out terrible work. It’s not my fault, Photoshop did it (with me using it)! That’s not my typo, it’s Microsoft Word’s fault!"
To mainstream media: please stop using “ChatGPT/Claude says” non-ironically as a source.

Hot take: Europe is a bunch of third-world countries with better branding. No A/C. No dryers. Ice is a luxury. You’ll sweat through dinner while the waiter ignores you for 2 hours. Say what you want about America, but at least eating out doesn’t feel like hot yoga with bread.

Maggie Rogers, as an unknown music student at NYU, showing her unfinished song 'Alaska' to Pharrell (who can visibly tell it's going to be a massive hit within about 15 seconds)

there is, of course, a subreddit for that (though a lot of it is just the famous band playing a song before they got famous rather than hit songs)

I thought I understood AI prompting.
Then Google dropped their 68-page engineering guide.
It reveals techniques that work across all LLMs
I dove deep into all 5 advanced methods.
Here's what will transform your AI outputs🧵

How many real people are still on the Internet?
AI BOTS RUN THE INTERNET NOW
Congrats, humans: you officially lost the internet to AI-powered bots in 2024.
Over half of all web traffic is now bots, and many of them up to no good.
They are stealing passwords, crashing sites, faking clicks, and even pretending to be you.
Many of them hit travel sites, steal concert tickets, and hijack social media posts just to mess with people and fuel drama.
Experts say these bots are getting smarter by the day.
Meanwhile, you're still solving CAPTCHAs.

The bigger picture:
AI hallucination isn't going away anytime soon.
As these models become more powerful, their ability to generate convincing but false information only increases.
The next big differentiating factor for LLMs won't be creativity - it'll be truth detection.
Comparing the Woodstock ‘99 doc with @PostMalone & @JellyRoll615 live at @coachella livestream rn crushing vocals, blending music genres, & encouraging kindness & humanity is fkin awesome - the future is bright my friends ✨🚀 don’t let haters scare you doom & gloom!

i've noticed a weird aversion to using AI on the left. not sure if it's a climate or an IP thing or what, but it seems like a massive self-own to deduct yourself 30+ points of IQ because you don't like the tech
People pretending there is no way to communicate or work during a slack outage is 🧑🍳 💋 submit 3 bullets of what you did during the slack outage coming next? 😂 😭

This isn’t complicated.
Separate the bills and vote on them individually.
one vote on the clean CR
one vote on the debt limit
one vote on disaster relief
one vote on farm bailouts
Radical right? Individual bills for each issue.

The reason I left France after a year of living there is because it’s not a serious country when it comes to capitalism. You can cry all you want about how America sucks at this or that. But let’s be real. There is no real social mobility in Europe. If there was, we’d all be flooding there. C'est tout. Micro coupé. All this “Europe is superior” is a cope.
