There is a lot of "oh dear" to go around in the results of this very thorough Pew study on the issues with synthetic samples, but this strikes me as particularly "oh dear" www.pewresearch.org/data-labs/20...

AI polling results can lean on racial or partisan stereotypes

In many cases, our AI poll took beliefs or attitudes that are reasonably common among a particular subgroup and portrayed them as nearly ubiquitous. For example, our AI poll would indicate that:

97% of Hispanic adults are at least somewhat likely to follow the World Cup (while the actual share is 43%).

It really is a wild fucking piece, presuming that we're not at a point culturally and technologically where the vast majority of people have curated and maintained their own personal musical bubble that is basically impenetrable. We're not listening to radio and watching MTV anymore; it's not 1986.

Mr. Hegseth's critics point to an ongoing military defeat in Iran, hiding the number of dead soldiers, running out of missiles, and an alarming pattern of racism and misogyny. Mr. Hegseth's defenders point to successes like not getting blackout drunk in public and not raping any of his colleagues.

I find the anger I get from people on Substack about the fact I left Substack fascinating and sinister. I write the same stuff, with the same regularity and it's now cheaper to read. The sole difference is that it no longer funds Nazi-promoting venture capitalists. And THAT'S what makes you furious?

found a whole operation of unmanned youtube channels making completely unchecked long form slop videos where the ai voice simulacra regularly trips up & does this for a full ten minutes every time. all the very legit comments are like "NO!

It’s interesting how few people make an affirmative case for political violence or how it would solve a given problem, but they are very insistent on attacking your character if you point out that it’s a bad idea because of how important it is for online brand signaling.

We bring up this exact thing on this week's What In The World podcast. Hungary voted Orban out because he was corrupt and failed to turn around the fortunes of Hungarian soccer. They are still fine with the nationalism and stifling of LGBTQ+ rights. It's not the revolution the Internet thinks it is

Women's tennis is so much more fun to watch than men's tennis right now. I trust that any woman in the top 10 can beat any other woman in the top 10 at any time because it happens all the time. I only trust Alcaraz or Sinner to beat Alcaraz or Sinner, especially in a final. That's boring.
