I don't think they'll ever recreate what it was like to be on twitter in the 2010s. Soap opera stuff happening constantly. Poster you were vaguely aware of involved in federal fentanyl bust. Poster whose jokes you occasionally liked posed as his aunt (or wife?) for 6 years. Pastor who steals jokes

I think Talarico is likely to win in Texas for the same reason I thought Biden was likely to be the nominee in 2020: all the polls seem to show him ahead!

RE polarization and notwithstanding the mid-ness of his wit-ness, I actually thought Ezra Klein had a pretty reasonable explanation: the parties were less polarized when social issues were artificially suppressed by the apartheid regime of Jim Crow

there are moral arguments against the death penalty in its ideal form but in real life you never need to get there. the prior question is "can the state be trusted to end the life only of the rightly convicted without torture?" and the answer is no

for this and a number of reasons, i think the only workable "pro-AI" or even "not-anti-ai" stance is within an anti-capitalist framework, because technology, how its used, how it's developed, and how its deployed, is downstream of political economy, and the political economy *fucking sucks*

Formatting take: citations should be numbers, if you pepper a paper with million iterations of (Such and Such et al 20xx) it becomes borderline unreadable

Maybe a hot take but I recall when I started grad school, there was a big emphasis on a certain phase change: we needed to stop being “mere students” and start being “producers of knowledge”. But it turns out that “student” is actually the better vocation if you don’t want your ego to metastasize

I appreciate why people get doom & gloom-y about the prospect of AI writing and music, and I agree in so far as I think they will come to occupy a dominant place in the market, which will be economically hard for pro creatives,*but* I don’t think that means human artistic output is going anywhere

The thing about the florid apocalypticism you sometimes encounter on this site is that a lot of people are less horrified by literal civilizational collapse than by the notion that our descendents are just going to keep muddling through and in less than a century nobody will remember us.

Something that we really need to get used to is thinking about the intent behind types of writing. What is writing *for*, what does it *do*? Because that really matters for setting policies on LLM use. Some types where I think it’s stupid to object to their use, & types where it’s disasterous
