Watch how swiftly fake quotes get attributed to “S. Drimmer” now.
Thing is, this is exactly what ChatGPT was designed to do. Namely, jackhammer the grounds of truth beneath our feet. Whether the product is “good” or not is irrelevant. Its purpose is to remove people from acts of discernment.
yes, this one was a subtweet of Canada
more "AI can do research better than you can" stuff
I guess I wanted to know whether they paid a bribe or something
Do I want to hate read that Chronicle piece?
maybe fascist countries are fascist in their own ways, sure, but we do all remember that the leader of Hungary was funding the largest conference of conservatives in the US, yeah?
people in the US aren't uniquely inclined to letting their postal service be downsized/privatized, for instance.
And sure, some of it is convergent evolution, but it's mostly intentional networks. Some of it's being exported to your country from mine. Some of it was imported to my country, maybe even from yours! But the most foolish thing you can do is assume you're immune to it.
Love to see a bunch of posts about how the fascism in America is a uniquely American thing interspersed with a bunch of posts that I assume are about America and then realize are about other countries where the same rhetoric/policy choices are animating people.
I wasn’t meant to see the moon like that.
Those iPhone photos/videos of the moon give me the willies, honestly.
As warming waters fuel increasing numbers of crabs, Khmer Maine, a local nonprofit, turns them into a traditional delicacy.
“We are showing how immigrants impact our communities and contribute to culture, economy, and ecology,” says Marpheen Chann, founder of Khmer Maine.
The GOP (or interested parties) did something to ensure the hostage crisis continued through the election.
Actually, I’m not even sure this is a conspiracy theory anymore, it may just be a thing we’re waiting to get confirmed when someone dumps the right CIA documents.
I do not understand why, and all I can think of is that it is actually so horrific that the news in the US has chosen not to engage because there’s only one conclusion to draw as soon as you talk about it at all.
The teen, Rihan, is the son of Zia, a former interpreter for U.S. forces in Afghanistan who spent three months in ICE custody last year.

I figured I would want to read it when I got older and that has not proved to be the case.
I have a signed copy that was gifted to me when the book came out and I have literally never thought "this is the right moment for me to read this"
Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.
Just switched to bluesky from looking at this comic on tumblr. A sign I've calibrated my socials perfectly, I think.
if he were smart, he'd have chosen different glasses
how am I only just learning this stunningly apt word
shouldn't be allowed to choose their own clerks, shouldn't be allowed to accept fees for speaking or prize money or awards. shouldn't be able to get book deals, etc. etc. if what you want is to be famous, well, no one is forcing you to be a supreme court justice.
Data focused too much on trying to experience human emotions that he missed the importance of human experiences like tripping on a door sill you walk over every day.
This is my assessment of what's driving it, of course. I don't think they'd say this is what's happening.
I mean, Harriet Beecher Stowe's house museum is across the lawn from where I work and this is definitely an argument they hear (and we hear too, from people expecting us to give them an out, which we do not)

You know how people pronouncing words wrong can just be a sign that they read a lot? Well, having typos in the first post of a thread may just be a sign that you edit a lot before you post. Not quite enough, obviously, but still.
For me, some of the frustration is animated by lingering professional pride even though I don't work in the field anymore. Sure, there are always critiques and new angles and nuance, but at least start by acknowledging that this person has thought about the research in this book an unhealthy amount.
