Never. Never. Let an opportunity to fuck with a friend pass by.

@chrispickett5.bsky.social get ready for the replyallpocalypse for the END TIMES.

What is correct? For open ended questions which must be graded by experts, unless your method is well blinded you inject a lot of bias into the analysis. May or may not make the LLM look better.

But you can’t say “52% correct” for qualitatively scored answers. Need a qualitative rubric.

This graph is unclear, obviously but there is a profoundly muddleheaded understanding of the word “excels” for something that is correct 52% of the time.

Yes, the other models seem to be astonishingly bad but “usually beats a coin flip by a small margin” is not worth crowing about.

When someone accuses you of shaming them, they are saying:

“I am already ashamed of this and I don’t want you to know it or see it.”

You cannot shame someone for something they don’t think is shameworthy. It doesn’t work, it rolls off of them.

But if they feel shame they despise? They attack.

When I am president, and god forbid one day I should be, this entire administration would be extradited to Iran to face justice.

It’s kids doing what kids have always done: approaching difficult topics with offensive humor and frankly kind of impressive openness to toxic realities they face.

Let them cook.

Ok. The “Five nights on Epstein island” game. Ready? Here’s the take:

So fucking what. Is it offensive? Yeah. Is it desensitizing your kids to sexual abuse? No. If one of the bear cubs were playing would I have a convo? Yes. Would I worry for their soul? No.

Get over it. Moral panic unjustified.

OMGOMGOMG I HAVE A PENDING CASE STUDY INTHE NEJM!!

“Mrs Dr Bear, unable to find tahini, asserts there was no more. Mr Dr Bear glances at pantry, finds immediately.”

You’re right. Come closer. Just come right over and approach the bear.

And I want to be clear here: I’m not just talking about spiritual faith. Having faith in anything is bullshit. Even your fellows.

If you don’t have evidence, a pattern? Don’t trust it. Don’t believe in it.

If it’s supported by a stable track record it isn’t faith. It’s statistics.

Can we maybe finally admit that all faith is toxic, all religion is divisive, and ideologies inevitably drive salvageable people to commit vile atrocities?

No? All right keep killing each other, dipshits.

HAPPY PURGE DAY!!!

Jesus is dead today, so all sin is legal.

Nothing lives rent free in my head. Every last thought I have pays rent.

This is why you’re still living at home, Gen Z.

Me after discovering their hideout:

KLAN FED

They regret it more.

Happy Successful Operation to Execute the False Messiah Day to all who celebrate.

On this most holy of holidays I would like to remind everyone to shut the fuck up and leave the jokes to the professionals.

Your idea isn’t funny or clever.

Buy this book or I swear to fucking god I will tank your next submission at study section.

I will slaughter your lab assistants. I will poach your department’s best-funded associate professor.

I will overturn every dumpster on your campus.

I’m old enough to recall when being a war profiteer made you a pig fucking outcast, not a savvy investor.

If you listen to … anything … sped up? Like a podcast at 1.5x or whatever?

Your soul has already fled to the broiling sulfur caves of Hades.

They who lay slain
Atop a crimson mount of wasted glory
Nevertheless made devoted efforts
Heroes of the causeless age
Martyrs to the mouth
Filled with cottonwool lies
Lament them if you can
But only as you lament us all
The engine of a rudderless leviathan

Newsome has dyslexia - a learning disability which can in most cases be completely overcome with support and effort.

Trump has stupidity, which is intractable.

Doubtless.

The plan seems to be to destroy the funding of current investigators, get them to disperse from academic science, and then force universities to hire more acceptable ideologues.

DOGS CANNOT DIE YOU MONSTER THEY CAN ONLY RETIRE TO THE BOUTIFUL RABBIT FIELDS OF KHĘZOũLET.

I am happy to encourage you to spend a bit of time reflecting on if you can extrapolate from knowledge to wisdom.

Yes. One thing. I will not be wearing green and if you pinch me or even make a stupid pinchy-finger gesture at me, so help me god there will not be enough left of you to scrape into a shoebox for a dignified funeral.

And whatever pink slime *is* left will be covered in bear shit.

“Success” is a poorly defined metaphysic these days.

Okay sure, but if your trolley problem is ALSO my double slit experiment?

My trolley wave will defeat your victim quanta EVERY SINGLE TIME motherfuckers.

“And long is the way and hard, that out of darkness leads up to light.”
