Dear Institutional Review Board,
I wonder how you could test this. Maybe have established couples create accounts on a dating app and see if they get matched up?

Agree matchmaking is hard. They probably try to match well but you still need lots of dates to succeed.

Still think they add "filler" matches to drive engagement tho

We can doctor it for the proctors, but it might be a gamble

what is "enchanment"?

a) a novel word deliberately invented, meaning, "related to anonymous image boards"
b) proof godogly can't spell
c) an established word already in the English corpus meaning "to bind in chains"
d) a word from a romance language used in a grammatically correct manner

my favorite thing about murakami novels is when the narrator makes a ham sandwich and drinks half a beer and puts the rest in the fridge

if you showed this nano banana generated diagram to me a year or two ago it would have blown my mind. the combination of perfect text, the elements all correctly drawn and arranged in the right flow. i wouldn't have thought a diffusion model was capable of it.

on dating apps
other comment is that, while resembling the 'internal principal agent misalignment' aspect of those other examples (streaming, junk food, social media-treated-as-consumption), dating sites are significantly harder than those because they're two-sided matching markets

this is a funny OP because they presumably also hate any attempt to make public transit (buses, trains) more pleasant. god forbid you have to sit next to an unmedicated schizophrenic & multiple felon whose previous 10 arrests were for harassment and violent assault on public transit... coward....

I got a little informal demo of Nano Banana Pro last night. It's REALLY good. Like "If you shoot your product from a few different angles, you will never need a camera again" good.

Not to shill for @kyl33t.bsky.social but Nano Banana Pro is also available through the Adobe Firefly gen AI platform.
Nano Banana Pro, released this morning, is clearly the best image generation model. Superb instruction following, plus it can generate full infographics (with correct spelling and properly rendered text!) from a short prompt based on running extra searches simonwillison.net/2025/Nov/20/...
Nano Banana Pro aka gemini-3-pro-image-preview is the best available image generation model
Hot on the heels of Tuesday’s Gemini 3 Pro release, today it’s Nano Banana Pro, also known as Gemini 3 Pro Image. I’ve had a few days of preview access …

let's have that debate in the comment section below
There was a very fun discussion of the poem in my Grade 10 English class where there was a debate whether "demon lover" meant a very *good* lover or a very *bad* lover
