Compelling essay by sci-fi writer Ted Chiang on why LLMs are nowhere near consciousness, but why it serves the interests of LLM companies to constantly suggest that they might be.
I've pulled one quote below, but the whole article is worth reading.

He died defending his partner after his house was burned down and his dog was murdered.
His partner is a trans man.
Jonathan should still be here, at home, with his family.
But im told that we dont need pride.
1 year ago today, Jonathan Joss was murdered in a homophobic hate crime.
Best known for voicing John Redcorn, Jonathan was a memorable part of many fans’ childhoods and will not be forgotten.

It's a five alarm fire! This is exactly what I've been warning people about. Trump is trying to use the postal system to massively disrupt and manipulate voting in the November election.
We have to do everything we can to stop him and I will be fully in the fight.
📬 USPS wants to require states to send a list of voters who have requested a mail-in ballot —an alarming step toward implementing Trump’s attack on mail voting ahead of the midterms.
Voting-rights advocates argue that using this list could prevent eligible voters from casting ballots. bit.ly/434bg4w

Keep posting this so people don’t forget how truly bad this event was.
Don’t let people gaslight you into thinking it was peaceful and worthy of 1500 pardons and slush fund payoffs.

Generative AI is not needed. Not for accessibility or any other reason! Stop using disabled people as an excuse to push GenAI! You don't actually care about us. Many disabled people find ways to create art! We don't need to rely on a tool that steals from other creators!!!

It's funny how AI bros will constantly act like everybody is on board with their hype, when in reality THEY are the "loud minority".
Once again- Fuck AI.🖕🏿

Mamdani closed a $12B deficit in 132 days, fixed 100K potholes, secured millions for gig workers, fined corrupt landlords millions, raised snow workers to $30/hr, and violent crime hit historic lows.

Voter at a town hall on Republican gerrymandering:
"These maps are the wet dream of soft men who won't even look up from their phones to face their voters. These are men who lust for a world where the powerful do what they can and the rest of us suffer what we must. Jesus wept."

The artist behind this painting, Criselda Vasquez, painted this portrait of her parents in 2017. The man in this painting, her father, was recently taken by ICE. He has lived in the United States for forty years. This loss has made it hard for the family to support themselves. If you want to support them, you can go to their GoFundMe here:
