Look, it’s unlike me to say something like this — and, frankly, a bit embarrassing — but I want to hear less about these people’s terrible decisions, loose morals, and weird sex stuff and more about this.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

ChatGPT’s signature writing style is everywhere now, and I hate it. It reminds me of when we tried mixing all the beverages at the soda fountain in middle school. We didn’t actually create the perfect drink, we just made a cloying monstrosity that lost everything good about its constituent parts.

To anyone dismayed about not getting Muppet Knives Out don't worry because they basically already did that in 1979 with Liza Minnelli and it's a perfect (Emmy-nominated!) episode of TV that you can enjoy right now!

Link's perma ban is wrong and should be reversed.
And what illustrates it being EVEN MORE WRONG, are recent suspensions with restoration with much much more egregious offenses in the same line of what Bluesky claims Link was banned over.

Writing down your ideas, and things you learn from papers, in one searchable place is a gift that keeps on giving. Even if it's impossible to organise the information to your satisfaction, it's repeatedly useful.

I got an actual "Your silence on this subject is deafening" message this AM, so, super-quick: Nobody here owes anyone commentary about anything. This is a public park. It's full of interesting people. We hang out here, make friends, and chat, and then we leave to do whatever it is we do. That's it!

Depicting a thing is not the same as endorsing a thing. Literary critics still seem to understand this about literature better than they do about film.

JD Vance owns a company that buys American real estate and sells it to foreign investors. They specifically target Americans in crisis to buy their property for less than it is worth.
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

maybe it’s only another X wave but the upswing of screenshots of news stories with no link or byline or source (no alt text)… or posting photojournalists’ work w/o attribution or a link… just take 30 seconds before posting to tell us where it’s from. and if you don’t know why are you posting it??
