what’s great about this is the moment model makers start doing this it’ll go against their training data and start causing all sorts of weird after effects.

The thing you need to understand about the Right is that they are absolutely fine just plain burning down higher education if taking it over ideologically doesn’t work. They’re perfectly happy reducing it to ashes.

From the Oklahoma U student paper: the school is now saying it will automatically suspend faculty (with pay) in response to student complaints
www.oudaily.com/news/ou-poli...
“During the course of the debate, it was disclosed that it is now policy of the university to suspend any faculty member with pay against whom a student has lodged a complaint. The faculty member is suspended under the Title IX program,” Schmeltzer wrote. “This was new information to everyone in attendance.”

99% of billionaires were born very, if not extremely, wealthy (the other 1% were extremely lucky). That gave them the ability to able to "lose it all" in a venture and... try again. And again. And again. Until they hit gold.

Someone with $5 to his/her name can't do that.

There's a reason I didn't specifically say to whom the book was dedicated, although, again, it's public information. Also, this answer isn't right, it just isn't wrong anymore. It still can't tell you to whom the book was dedicated.

The amusing part is by writing this blog, you finally forced ChatGPT to get the right answer. But your original point still stands.
In a post on his official blog, Scalzi explains that some AIs claimed various dedications (to family members, characters, or others), but he confirms that none of those attributions are accurate and that he didn’t dedicate The Consuming Fire to his wife or daughter.  In short: • The Consuming Fire does not have a publicly documented dedication page available online.

Eight days ago I said one of the signs the bubble was bursting was if data center REITs like Fermi were in trouble. Yesterday Fermi had a $150m tenant pull out and its stock dropped 40%. All roads lead to The Smiling Man!
sherwood.news/markets/ferm...

www.wheresyoured.at/premium-the-...
v. Edward Moreno 12/12/25 Fermi drops after tenant terminates $150 million contract - Fermi FRMI $10.05 (-34.03%) fell in early trading on Friday after it disclosed that its first tenant for its planned Project Matador power grid site has terminated its $150 million contract. Fermi, which was cofounded by former Energy Secretary Rick Perry, plans to build nuclear energy infrastructure to power data centers. In September, Fermi announced that it had entered into a nonbinding letter of intent with a tenant to lease a portion of Project Matador. That contract was terminated on Thursday, Fermi said in a Friday regulatory filing. Fermi, which currently generates no revenue, said it is talking to other potential tenants for the Project Matador Site and "remains confident that it will be able to meet its expected power delivery schedule at Project Matador as the demand for behind-the-meter power for Al remains robust over the near and long term." If we're talking about how the bubble may burst, I'd start looking for signs that new Al-related REITs are struggling to raise capital, or for volatility or downswings in said REITs.

Sometimes I imagine historic figures in a modern context as a thought experiment.

For example, I’m pretty sure Rufus would have been in the Epstein flight logs whereas Curthose wouldn’t… and Henry would have been the guy who came up with the whole blackmailing scheme in the first place.

I also cover, in depth, why I think AI 2027 is a truly evil creation, and why its authors - and those who promoted it - are all craven grifters.

edzitronswheresyouredatghostio.outpost.pub/public/promo...
A note to anybody scared by AI 2027: Please, please, please do not feel embarrassed or ashamed. These people knew exactly what they were doing, and wrote with a level of authority —-- and with enough respectable-seeming accolades —-- that it's reasonable for a non-technical person to have taken this as gospel. I want you to read this and understand how these grifters manipulate people, and I want you to tell everybody you know who they are, and why AI 2027 fucking sucks. I hate these people. They've scared people I love and respect, all to make an AI research group money. AI 2027's goal wasn't to actually predict anything or prove anything, but to scare people, to make people think that AI can or will do something it cannot and will not ever do, and to make people give up and assume that Large Language Models would inevitably prevail. AI 2027 is written by a bunch of guys with no real engineering or financial experience. It is built to scare and manipulate you. It succeeded, but that only shows that the people writing it were loathsome and intentional in causing you to panic. In January 2027, I am going to write an entire piece about AI boosters, and I've been collecting detailed receipts - some might even call them "detailed notes" - for years. I find these people repulsive.

This is, uh, not a smart move. Section 230 has its flaws, but repealing it without having an *extremely solid* plan in place to replace the protections for free speech it offers is tantamount to banning the LGBTQ+ community and others from public online spaces.

These people have serious problems.
My college head coach had a personal rule that he would never be alone with a woman, not even in an elevator. Some people thought it was weird, unnecessary or overly pious. He considered it a guard rail for himself to honor his wife, his faith and his responsibility to everyone in the building. As a college athlete I didn’t fully understand. As a grown man, I get it. And I’m grateful.

I sincerely hope that, if/when the Trump authoritarian attempt fails, the lesson that people draw is not that US democracy was never at risk. That would be replaying 2021, and as we have seen, the forces of authoritarianism will still be around for the foreseeable future.
