Hot take: I don't think social media made people dumber. We've been dumb this whole time. It's just that you used to have to have a job that people sent their dumb letters to, to notice. This made "Engaging with fools" an occupational hazard rather than the 24/7 experience it is presently.

I’m more sympathetic to the median voter (derogatory) than most people on here but it seems like the only way you can instill some sense of civic virtue is to shove the consequences directly into their face after the fact

We really need to point out that the only people not assimilated into modern America are the racist rightwing losers who are butthurt that America is actually a diverse culture of people who enjoy the various experiences it has to offer. If these bigots cannot assimilate that is their problem.

Hi government employee here, who has visibility into how things worked before 2025 and since: This is correct. Rebuild government, prosecute DOGE and Trump officials, and think about contracting reform later.

I will absolutely die on the hill that you should have to physically leave your house to go somewhere to gamble, and that you should be able to easily and permanently tell casinos to ban you on sight.

To be fair, I've also seen this happen when telling then-frontier LLMs about the war against Iran and the closure of Hormuz. They did the full "babe that is psychotic there is no way that is happening what are you making up right now?" thing

Killed. NSF’s SBE was killed, in violation of law. The President does not have the power to choose to kill programs at a whim by defunding them. The imperial presidency was a mistake and we are in a separation of powers constitutional crisis.

ok time to stake a claim: I don't generally think there's any evidence LLMs could write a rewarding novel of any sort EXCEPT they could definitely do a better job of _Ready Player One_

A running list of uses I've found for LLMs that are not "write my emails for me" or "write some code". 1. When I first taught my class, I either had time for lecture notes or slides. LLMs took my lecture notes, converted them into draft slides, that I then cleaned up and put into my style.

2. When I'm reading a gigantic doc and I can't quite find some little detail, I ask an LLM to also look in the background while I continue to scan. Together, it's found faster than me alone. 3. I journal by hand but I like records of it. LLMs convert the photographs into electronic text

i assume part of the reason many leftists reflexively despise LLMs is that they also do this for poorly founded, factually inaccurate *leftist* beliefs, not just right-wing beliefs.
