Progressive Mormon bible scholar, Dan McClellan, makes a lot of videos about how it was written and dispelling myths.

Disappointing to hear someone you respect go on the Joe Rogan podcast and go "yeah yeah yeah" as he rants about glyphosate.

I think there's some fairness to that accusation. Anthropic did allow DOGE to use Claude, so they at least provided them with technical support. Of course, that's different to politically advocating for it.

I feel like knocking out the federal government is important to stop mitigation. Alternately, drop 3 in the USA, 3 in Russia, 2 in China, 1 in India and Pakistan. Focus on government targets. Try to set off a general nuclear war.

Shanghai based mathematician Chenglong Ma all but accuses OpenAI of stealing from a paper on Invariant Primes he had uploaded 8 days prior, stating that his "proof strategy and specific choices of notation are identical to a preliminary version of the present paper" arxiv.org/pdf/2610.10072
{D_k} = {D_i : i >= k}.

After the paper was written, the author learned that the same result was also proved independently and by a different method by Ningyi Li [7]. The result is also contained in a paper [8] released by OpenAI on October 6, 2026, in which the proof strategy and specific choices of notation are identical to a preliminary version of the present paper that was uploaded to ChatGPT on September 8, 2026.

We indicate the main steps, emphasizing how the auxiliary Cartier geometry is converted back into the stabilizer action on Lubin-Tate space.

(1) Height strata and reduction to a curve. Let P subset A_n be an invariant prime of generic formal height s < n. Then
J_{s-1} subset P, u_s not in P.

Did you ever see that episode of transformers where the Autobots team up with the Pope to kill Megatron? They cannonised Optimus Prime.

It starts by making a complaint, identifies its writer as a hardware clerk, gives examples of problematic AI-use trends among customers, then finishes with a specific story. That seems narratively cohesive to me.

You are talking about a very large pile of corpses. We do not casually say, let there be a war. It is a horror that all good people are driven to avoid, to find something better than tens of thousands of more deaths.

Most people don't understand The Death of the Author because they don't consider the effect seeing so many authors die in WW1 had on Roland Barthes.

No, I mean, seriously. If you're a voter and you turn up and you get presented a ballot with Donald Trump on it, do you turn to the election worker and say "I don't accept this ballot"?

I can see something to the idea but I read a few chapters and I feel like it doesn't really engage with Saruman's character or the Lord of the Ringss.

Is that the crossover someone did on Space battles where an alien showed him how to make guns?

It annoys me so much when I see that criticism; and you've got a very clear explanation of why it's a misreading to attribute the goal of a 1:1 correspondence to Claremont. Thanks.

That's what you'd expect to see if it reached people who didn't otherwise read and inspired many to read more.

People often read the gospels together and assume univocality, but in reality they disagree on many important points. For example, Mark believed in dark matter, but Luke skipped over his account of the bullet galaxies because he believed in MOND.

Transubstantiation is a funny word. It's trans + substantiation, which has 3 s's. But transubstantiation only has 2. This is a paradox. The reason for this is that although the accident of transubstantiation has 2 s's, the substance of the word has 3.
