maybe not in general, like, clearly a few people Got It, but people by and large either don't understand even the bluntest cautionary tales or just subconsciously decide that they should act them out

we did broadly predict that ai generated text would be used for propaganda
i don't know that anyone predicted that this would be because it enabled very dumb people, who did not dishonestly represent who they were, to crank out resentful essays more quickly and cleanly

Benjamin Ryan openly admits that his reporting on trans issues is animated by personal bias against someone who was mean to him online. Ben is not capable of reporting on this issue objectively, and yet the New York Times and other outlets repeatedly let him do just that.

“Mitigating factor: bad at planning your own insurrection” is an incredible court ruling
The judge noted that Yoon took the lead in planning the insurrection, caused immense social costs, showed no remorse, and failed to participate in the trial faithfully. The court acknowledged as mitigating factors that he refrained from using physical force and that the planning was not meticulous.
