You can't really contend with what LLMs mean without centering the quantity issue. The flood of low-quality slop is drowning out any hypothetical good uses, especially when hallucinations and errors fill up our databases and resources.

What fresh hell is this? The Spectator goes all in on Palantir, calling its critics victims of "Palantir Derangement Syndrome". What the magazine won't say: 🔺Spectator is owned by Paul Marshall, co-founder of Marshall Wace - which holds some 2.3 million shares worth $380m in... Palantir. 🔺Michael Gibson, who wrote this pro-Palantir screed for The Spectator, co-ran the Thiel Fellowship with Palantir owner Peter Thiel from 2010 to 2015. Thiel then backed Gibson's 1517 fund. 🔺Palantir's primary owner, Peter Thiel, was a happy business partner with convicted serial child rapist Jeffrey Epstein - Epstein's other business partner, former Israeli PM Ehud Barak, described Thiel and Epstein as "co-owners" of their venture fund. Thiel's investment w/Epstein contributed to the single largest asset in Epstein's estate. 🔺We don't need a democracy hating giant surveillance-defence contractor owned by Epstein's business partner and alleged fund "co-owner" to infiltrate the NHS. Estonia, Denmark, and Israel manage complex national electronic health records without reliance on private defence platforms. 🔺There is a war on for your mind being waged by investors and media owners who have benefited directly from Peter Thiel and Palantir. Maybe Britain doesn't need friends and business partners of child rapists, nor people who would profit from them, running our health and security systems? Who is really deranged here? 👀

Today, the European Union took a major step forward. All Member States agreed to open the first accession negotiations cluster with Ukraine and Moldova. At the first Intergovernmental Conference on Monday, we will open the cluster on fundamentals; the backbone of the accession process. It covers the core values and principles on which the EU is built, from the rule of law to strong democratic institutions. This is a recognition of the determination, courage and hard work shown by both countries in advancing reforms, even in the face of immense challenges. And a signal that the EU’s offer of peace, stability and opportunity is unmatchable. Enlargement is a strategic choice. By bringing our nations closer together, we strengthen peace, security and prosperity across our continent. In a world marked by growing uncertainty, a larger European Union is in our common interest. Enlargement remains one of the EU’s greatest success stories and our best investment in our shared future.

Sportswashing is a standard tool of authoritarians, put on a grand stage at the Berlin Olympics in 1936. Like the IOC, FIFA doesn’t "stick to sports" when it does this; it provides a propaganda platform. This year's hosts are democracies, but Trump knows the game. My latest:

Elon Musk has tripled his net worth since the presidential election, @RMac18 points out. Really liked this Q-and-A with @MikeIsaac and ... @puiwingtam! nytimes.com/2026/06/11/insid…

Some of us here truly appreciate it. If it wasn't for movie accounts I'd go nuts. I just became a Compañero. It is shockingly affordable, everyone: patreon.com/c/priscillapage/…

always feels pretty grim trying to share my work on twitter (pictured left) compared to the other app (pictured right). a fool's errand, honestly.

Merz: "Ukraine has been defending its freedom for more than 4 years." (AfD members laughing) Merz: "That’s telling sign, ladies and gentlemen. They laugh about it, they laugh about fate of millions of people in Ukraine and they travel to Moscow for their champagne receptions."

That's like saying most of my ancestors aren't from Ireland, because I'm Canadian. Just doesn't make any sense. Community Note link: x.com/i/communitynotes/n/206…

@jaybaxter, @kcoleman I just watched the whole interview, and I have some comments: 1. The conversation was based only on helpful Notes that are shown on X. This gives the illusion that the system works, when in fact 80% of Notes ever written will never be displayed as helpful. I'm not saying all Notes are helpful, but I think we can agree that actually helpful Notes are more than just two out of ten. 2. It misses the fact that helpful Notes can take more than a day to appear under a misleading or fake post. Jay said “hours or minutes,” but I don’t know in what world. 3. The “gaming the system” part of the conversation was based, to my surprise, solely on contributors. We can agree that SOME contributors try to game the system by getting incorrect Notes being displayed as helpful, but this is RARE. The main group gaming the system is actually misinformers, who work to take down Notes that are helpful and correct in order not to lose money (one of them even acknowledged to do this during an X Space). Let's remember contributors make no money by writing Notes. You guys are focusing on the wrong crowd on this issue. 4. By the way, the studies cited by you guys did stated that Community Notes do help reduce the spread of misinformation, but they also highlighted points 1 and 2 of this post as the main issues that need to be corrected in the Community Notes system. In addition, let's remember that Community Notes were already pretty fast and accurate(1) until last year, following the very public complaint from Vigilant Fox to Jay(2) and Elon’s announcement about some fixing(3). After those two events, Community Notes have never been the same and is extremely difficult for an accurate/correct Note to reach helpful status. You are more than welcome to ask contributors about this.

“Super helpful for truth-seeking”

Posting this on X is amazing

Recently, we purchased one of each Anthropic/OpenAI subscription plan and randomly ran long horizon coding tasks until we exhausted the weekly limit. It's widely believed that a $200/month plan maxes out at ~$2000/month worth of tokens (assuming API pricing). However, we found that the subscriptions are actually far more generous. (2/4)

The numbers in the post/image are misleading because they don't adjust for whites outnumbering blacks 5-to-1 in the U.S. So just like that we go from "50-times more likely" to "9 times more likely" And then you also have to consider victim perception of race, offender age, sample size, socioeconomics, etc. Link to note: x.com/i/communitynotes/n/206… x.com/kevinnbass/status/2064…
