No, I’m not gonna stop talking about the Epstein Files. I’m sharing my experiences as a model in the 80s & 90s and how I saw the way the fashion industry supplies young, vulnerable women to wealthy predators. This has been going on for decades & there is a reckoning to come! youtu.be/8eg1afaQYC0?...

1. A short thread on a Bluesky phenomenon that might be described as "They are a dead-eyed cultist who must be cast out lest the heresy take root!" OP has blocked me for mocking them - I'd usually obscure their name but since they themselves were quote-dunking to demand someone else be blocked ...

Yeah this is exactly the thing. Increasingly you are telling people to not believe their lying eyes when you tell them LLMs are useless. Their actual lives will directly contradict this. They will likely discount most other unrelated things you say as a result. This can’t become a left/lib dogma.

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

See, entry 3 in the bibliography is "Analytic and Algebraic Topology of Locally Euclidean Metrizations of Infinitely Differentiable Riemannian Manifolds" by one N. Lobachevsky. And if you've ever heard Leher's song "Lobachevsky", you may have just finished that title with "Bozhe moi!"

New post by me: The decline in cancer mortality is about much more than smoking. We shouldn't minimize the very real impact of many contributors — including improvements in diagnosis, medical and surgical innovation, vaccination against cancers, and more — to the reduction in cancer death rates.

I respond to the claim that the decline in cancer mortality is mostly, or almost entirely, because of the decline in smoking.

This is very much on point. As Geoffrey Hinton put it: "The problem is most people have a hopelessly wrong view of how people work." Despite not knowing how their own brains work, they invent comforting stories how AI surely doesn't work in the same way. AI is the mirror most don't want to see.

It was always inevitable that AI would be trained on all our work whether we liked it or not. There's too much money at stake in this. It's also always been inevitable that job displacement will happen. We have to make sure that AI works for all of us via universal basic income. AI was fed OUR data.

The tariff shock will create an opportunity for sellers’ inflation 2.0. It functions like the pandemic cost shocks. There will be plenty of confusion on the part of consumers. Prices will rise promptly but inventories were bought at pre-tariff costs. This alone means windfalls.

Nothing happens. Countries can, and do, bail out on past commitments. And Art.5 is a very weak commitment anyway. The obligation undertaken is to "help". Well, I can say "thoughts & prayers" is "help". Even asking the victim of the attack to capitulate, can be construed as "help".
