On the Airbnb situation - it got to be more trouble than it’s worth and guests just went back to staying in hotels. Airbnb is trying to keep the entire ecosystem from collapsing on itself. I travel a fair bit and now I deliberately book hotels because the hassle isn’t worth it.

Can we also shout out to James Cook for fixing the fumbling issue? He clearly made some adjustments last week in practice.

Can the Bills ever just have a comfortable game? Why is every week like this?? 😭

I just saw “You Can See Everything”. What the hell did I even just watch?! That is seven kinds of messed up. Sweet, merciful heaven.

Josh Allen. I’m sorry but he’s a full on superhero. Even if you aren’t a WNY person. Just… magic

This. Every.single.year.
We’ve reached the next stage in the circle of life for the Bills

I don’t even know what to say about this. 😳
Since 2013, teams with 5+ turnovers & a -4 TO margin are 3-81-1 straight up (via @pfref)... The 3 wins: • Bills over Chargers (today) • Jaguars over Chargers (2022-23) • Broncos over Chargers (2015-16)

Tom Brady is really excellent in the booth. It’s pretty much the only good thing about this game. The Bills look awful.

It’s the cement gray uniforms, right? 😭

I was thinking about the NHJ article and the issue of bad schools. Seems to me that we should apply educational models the way we do in corporate America - input the variables and determine what works best for the “client profile”. This is a situation where AI could be highly useful in diagnostics.

Parental sacrifice is the act of putting your child's needs before your own. Sometimes that looks like the struggle of a single parent working 2 jobs to provide a better life for their kid. And sometimes it means sacrificing your ideology because your daughter is more important than proving a point. I appreciate the mea culpa, but the horse is out of the barn. She cannot get those formative learning years back for her daughter. And she may never be able to adequately explain how and why she didn't choose her daughter first. I'm sad for both of them.

“Did you know my school was bad like this when you decided to put me here?” Brutal. Nikole Hannah-Jones sacrificed her daughter’s education for political reasons, and her daughter called her on it — correctly.

Putting my vote in on Juan Carlos Ferrero coaching Rafa Jodar.

Every Bills game. Why is it like this?

I’m not crying, you’re crying. 😭

How insane is this??? They earnestly believe AI has a GREATER THAN 10% CHANCE of eradicating humans within 10 years. But don't worry. They're trying their best! I mean, they're not saying they're gonna stop or anything. Just going to "solve for alignment" 😳
Jacob is correct here—we really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans! I personally think it is >10% within the next decade. I believe Anthropic is trying its best, but we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and are not clearly on track to.

This is like the 5th person this year who’s basically said the same thing. They’re not playing. Be afraid.
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

It's really lovely. I'm so happy for Foe, so gutted for Alex, but this is a really great moment.
What sports are all about.
