Trump received 62% of the vote in today's CPAC straw poll but the real winner was Ron DeSantis, who received 20%.

You wonder how Carlson can manage all his hatreds. His hate for the libs is constitutional. His hate for viewers, to whom he could never speak the truth about Trump because they would revolt. His "passionate" hate for Trump. Now it's Fox that hates Tucker!

One sign of a mature news organization is that it often has to say to its core audience: you may not like this, but it happened. Doing news requires a bond strong enough to withstand the strain of telling uncomfortable truths.

Nobody is questioning whether he is willing to lie to the faces of Trump cultists. We know he does that every night. His business and ratings depend on him doing that convincingly. But now we know, in writing, what he says IN PRIVATE about Trump. What he REALLY thinks. pic.twitter.com/p6toWifaQL

Smartmatic's suit also names Dobbs and Bartiromo personally as defendants, along with a few others.
And, Smartmatic has filed suits in federal court against:

The jokes compose themselves. Fox has been able to redact parts of the Dominion files by claiming they reveal a "proprietary journalistic process," meaning: methods unique to Fox. Other media companies are petitioning to have that lifted. Thread. https://t.co/W8nWvkvmvg

Good point -- the token "market caps" were always entirely fictional. What actually happened with the crypto bubble and subsequent (and ongoing) crash is that a few billions of dollars changed hands from gullible retail "investors" to early-wave insiders. https://t.co/8wmytxD1xB

My biggest takeaway from attending my first AI conference in person since ChatGPT is the level of FOMO that researchers feel about it. So many talks referencing or cracking jokes about ChatGPT. So many researchers trying to intersect their work with ChatGPT to stay relevant.

I don't think this is healthy for AI development. With the advent of deep learning, people were already concerned about the collapsing of the field around one technique. Now we're seeing it collapse further around a single AI model. This complete lack of diversity cannot be good.

No particular significance. Just a cool thread about bugs.
