Tuck | Political Roastmaster<p>Why is GOP spin louder than air raid sirens?

Brian Sletten<p>This is an important read highlighting so many of the problems facing using AI to accelerate science. Hyped results hide failures or inappropriate comparisons that undercut the actual value of what has been discovered. It takes proper researchers a lot of time to describe where the gung-ho aifficionados took short cuts or were just wrong.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ai</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/failure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>failure</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/dontbelievethehype" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dontbelievethehype</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.understandingai.org/p/i-got-fooled-by-ai-for-science-hypeheres" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">understandingai.org/p/i-got-fo</span><span class="invisible">oled-by-ai-for-science-hypeheres</span></a></p>
Canvases By Peter<p>I was on the steam forums earlier for a game I regularly play, saw a post saying people should buy the DLCs to support the Devs, it got me to thinking, so I went to their official site, it said they've sold over 3 million copies of the game, I added it up, subtracted Steams usual 30% cut, and it still came to $122,850,000.00 the Devs had made so far on the game.. Enough for a team of 50 people to have an annual wage of over $122,000 each for 20 years..</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DontBelieveTheHype" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DontBelieveTheHype</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Steam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Steam</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gaming</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Greed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Greed</span></a></p>

On one hand - I think it's pretty awful that there isn't enough funding for Olympic athletes in many countries.

On the other - good to see that Flava Flav is coming out to support the USA women's water polo team.

Even so - given that there seems to be such a backlash in many conservative circles about any empowerment or support given to women nowadays - I'm concerned that they may see him as Public Enemy #1.
