Inside me are two GOATs, and one just keeps eating tin cans.
Just a reminder for all the fans of AI:
"If people cannot write well, they cannot think well, and if they cannot think well, others will do their thinking for them."

I hope all the AI boosters understand that they’re training their kids that only chumps do things the hard way—by working diligently and going through the discomfort and hassle of learning and acquiring skills.

And also teaching them that a 30% error rate is good enough.

Conservatism is a failure of imagination.
At worst, it's an incapacity to empathize.
At best, it's an inability to conceive of near-term consequences.

Following the Kent State massacre in May 1970, a Gallup poll showed that 58% of Americans thought the shootings were justified. The night *before* the killings, Ohio's GOP governor described the student protesters this way: "They're the worst type of people that we harbor in America."

One of the things I keep thinking about is how it won’t just be the job of the next president to rebuild everything broken, but the one after that, and the one after that.

Whole generations will be living through the aftermath of this bullshit.

like, Newsom's 2028 strategy has been, "hire energetic people who are good at anti trump messaging to troll trump" and then ben shapiro says, "choose me or fighting trump you coward" and Newsom said, "Oh of course I pick you Ben. It's always you."

I have some more bad news.

If an admissions committee even suspects you used ChatGPT for your application letter, they'll almost certainly decide not to waste a precious admissions spot on you.

Instead they'll give it to, you know, someone who actually likes to write and knows how to do it.
I have some bad news. One, if you need to use ChatGPT for your graduate application letter, you are not ready for graduate school.

Two, no, not "everyone is doing it" and those who don't do it aren't "losing out." ChatGPT is not an advantage.
An impressive number of graduate applications this year used the phrase “curiosity-driven approach” 🤔

the most important thing in 2028 is electing someone who is a true believer in the project of dismantling right-wing power. if you don't get that, then nothing else will matter very much.

For my entire adult life the bad things that have happened have not been obvious only in retrospect; they were blaringly obvious at the time. And there have always been people who said so and were dismissed as loonies.
