BASH: “You're still fully behind Abdul El-Sayed?” STEVENS: “Look, I'm on the Democratic ticket. I can't say that I agree with everything that's gone on… I'm looking to be on the team to support my next governor Jocelyn Benson, and frankly these great Democrats who are working their tails off, who are going to make Hakeem Jeffries the first black Speaker of the House.” BASH: “You didn't mention Abdul El-Sayed in that last answer.” STEVENS: “Well, look, I would just say, you had asked me if I'm still on the team, I'm on the team.”

To the anonymous clowns running to their “journalistic” friends in the media, planting stories to target people, departments, and agencies, all to angle for the next big job you’ve dreamed of: You’re a bunch of pathetic, self-absorbed, egotistical losers! It’s no surprise at all, as we know who some of you disloyal, power-hungry cowards are👀🤡Keep climbing—There’s a reason you’re still where you are!!! cc: @POTUS @WhiteHouse @realDonaldTrump

I think you've been looking for my Youtube channel Unbiased Bob. Zero sponsors. Zero tolerance for hype and outrageous marketing claims.
Anyone starting a non sponsored model evals which is based on real world work vs benchmaxxing? I would pay for such a subscription. Someone I can trust that they haven't been sponsored. I have tried too many new models/products in last month and after a while I realize most people are just promoting things that clearly don't work outside of certain use cases and were likely paid for the said promotion. We essentially need a Ryan Walker equivalent for software model/product reviews in the age of AI.

Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just “done a deal” with Hitler. George Washington could have done a deal to end the American Revolution. Zelenskyy is in good company.
