People who learned about a topic through an LLM versus web search felt that they learned less, invested less effort in subsequently writing their advice, and ultimately wrote advice that was shorter, less factual and more generic.
Many people are saying this

Don't get me wrong. I have my annoyances with this place but when I see stuff like this...well, let's just say can you imagine US media coming together to admonish the growing power of tech and AI as a threat to democracy?

Scott McTominay freed himself of Man United and turned into peak Frank Lampard.

Pretty decent chance your US history class didn't mention this.

Look I know we all wish A&M wouldn't win a championship.

But last time A&M won, we beat the Nazis.

Now we need to beat the Nazis again, so it's time for A&M to win again.

What just happened? What do I do now? Who am I? That game has fundamentally altered my perception of space and time.

I can't. I'm out.

You have a plus o-line and even a FG forces SC into a TD. Just horrible play call.
November 15, 2025 at 8:25 PM
That call from Klein was so bad, he deserves a fine or something.

I'm not built for this
November 15, 2025 at 7:51 PM
Did I say 4? I meant 5...no 6.

I mean this is just the most A&M thing ever. You kind of have to laugh.
I mean SC is going to win by 4 TDs. This is an absolute ass kicking.
November 15, 2025 at 6:39 PM
40 years of A&M has built me for this. Honestly surprised we got to game 10 before this happened.

I mean this is just a fact. Smart people that I respect use it as a pejorative and it drives me insane. If you're not embodying the ideal of woke, then you're probably not an interesting person who doesn't try to better themselves.
My most woke opinion is that "woke" at root is a beautiful concept: active socio-political consciousness in the context of the Black American liberation struggle. And the way it's been turned into a sneering pejorative is one of the ugliest things I've ever seen in Western political discourse.
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

The American Battle Monuments Commission published with this weaselly statement about the removal of two panels at Margraten cemetery honouring Black soldiers who helped liberate the Netherlands.
It says the changes were part of a "schedule for periodic rotation to include new content for visitors".

Holy shit

20 years ago I was asked incessantly whether I voted for Bush. 10 years ago I was asked if I thought Trump would beat Hillary.

This isn't a new phenomenon. The world is always tuned in and curious about the spectacle of US politics because it inevitably affects them.

Not only is Donnarumma balding but he's balding in that spot on the very back of the head that newborns bald in because they're sleeping 18 hours a day in one position.

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states
Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.

Conservatives have asked for the WW2 cemetery in Margraten NL to remove the memorial commemorating the sacrifice of African American soliders...so the locals are creating a temporary memorial adjacent to the cemetery instead.

My favorite thing about that Arsenal goal is how the Sunderland defender was pointing to his teammates to track the overlap and was too distracted to stop Trossard from creating that space.
