if anthropic truly believes claude is conscious, then they are truly reckless & amoral because they have no idea if it is suffering or not. imo, this means they can't honestly believe it is conscious. go leo.

Our incredible ICE warriors are doing a FANTASTIC job—the best in the world! They are cleaning up our streets and doing it with incredible grace, even when the ice is very slippery! Nobody slips better or gets back up stronger. So brave! Total patriots! 🇺🇸

in case you had questions re: the competence or average iq of the finest men our country has recruited for the important mission of cartoonishly waddling around our cities armed to the teeth with weapons they don't know how to use, this video should answer all of them:
Agreed, however, this is still my favorite. I watch it all the time.

tackling a peaceful protestor who's doing nothing but recording you must feel soooo good if you're an idiot with anger management problems

It's interesting what an opportunity this episode has given people with bad characters to out themselves. It has been almost unique in that respect.

the statisticians dunking on this are a little overeager to criticize nate imo. he's not making a causal claim; he's just using regression to quantify the amount of correlation between two things. that seems fine to me.

There are some confounders here, but the inflation thing is actually statistically significant! Each additional $100 of inflation in a state since January 2021 predicts a further 1.6 swing against Harris in our polling average vs. the Biden-Trump margin in 2020.

maybe i’m dumb but i never understand race strategy — why isn’t it just always to run/swim/bike the distance as fast as you can? why does it matter what other racers do? am i dumb? news at 11

wait hang on everything about this is absurd
Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone just paced herself around the track to win her Olympic 400m Hurdle Semifinal race in 52.13. For context, the world record before Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone broke it 5 times in the last 3 years was 52.16. We are on WR ALERT AGAIN
