You can always tell someone is using ChatGPT when there are no em-dashes—they have obviously edited them out, a sure sign of a guilty conscience.

Very few things diminish my respect for someone's intellect as much as the inability or unwillingness to understand the basic logistics of climate change.

One thing that genAI boosters aren't prepared (or frankly equipped) to handle is how the right-wing tech CEO set are going to shift the models toward right-wing outputs. There will be a concerted effort to make these intentional propaganda machines.

You believe in God because you think the Bible is a literal historical account.
I believe in God because Anselm made up a silly argument.
We are not the same.

i wish the political press were more conversant in american religion because there is a story to write about the inverted christianity that predominates among the new right, postliberal set
The Vice President of the United States is trashing some random professor over his imagined IQ score, all while revealing himself to be the sort of dude who reads fundamentalist Catholic homeschooling blogs instead of, say, the Pauline epistles.

Just google "ordo amoris." Aside from that, the idea that there isn't a hierarchy of obligations violates basic common sense. Does Rory really think his moral duties to his own children are the same as his duties to a stranger who lives thousands of miles away? Does anyone?

A bizarre take on John 15:12-13 - less Christian and more pagan tribal. We should start worrying when politicians become theologians, assume to speak for Jesus, and tell us in which order to love... x.com/jackp...

I've said before and I'll say it again: the problem with Rory and people like him is that he has an IQ of 110 and thinks he has an IQ of
130. This false arrogance drives so much elite failure over the last 40 years.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:on5oeywiqx32fh2zau473wz6/bafkreicltyis7dhyq42wasevlwygn6qgyowbznty2ciborvzyjlogkwm2m@jpeg)

this may be true (I have my doubts) but even if it is they are still idiots. like 3/4ths of the administrative state is designed to keep capitalism working properly instead of blowing itself up bsky.app/profile/neqo...
Or maybe they do realize that and that is what they want. The robber barons held a lot more control over things back then. I think they idolize that era since they are the modern day incarnations.

I do love everytime I see a story like, "This lost manuscript was discovered languishing in the archives" and when you do a Google search you find that the collection was fully described and searchable for fifteen years before any historian actually did work with it.
