can't take "LLMs are people" discourse seriously when we haven't even convinced everyone that all people are people.

1. The independent Taskforce — commissioned by NHS England, backed by government — concluded ADHD is under-diagnosed, under-recognised and under-treated in the UK. Not over. The press has reported the reverse of the finding www.thetimes.com/uk/healthcar...

To give a sense of scale, Musk is spending more on the midterms than he was on the 2024 election, and he was the biggest donor in that election. In 2025 he promised to pull back from politics and do much less political spending. Another lie.

Left wing nihilism on here frightens me. There’s this posture of being strangely inured to violence and horror, and thus assuming that is some important part of education that everyone should have to be truly ‘savvy’. No!

He said this at the time, as did many, and it remains a bald-faced lie. Not a matter of opinion. It's just completely untrue as an objective factual matter. Civil marriage laws don't work like that and never have. Just like the legality of divorce and remarriage doesn't affect the Catholic Church.

Me, doing my best impression of an American studies expert: "so you see, flying airplanes into skyscrapers and killing thousands of people is very insulting in American culture. And when the American Native feels his honor has been impinged upon, his mind turns to something called 'revenge'"...

RHG and his ilk's response will be to do some racecraft, insisting that these are Berbers and thus not really racially Black (while ignoring the ample evidence for dark-skinned Romans) and/or to just botch the chronology and claim that this was part of Roman decline.

One major reason that Microsoft was using a definition of intelligence borrowed from white supremacist Linda Gottfredson a couple of years back in their AI documentation is that scientific racists are pretty much the only ones out there pretending that intelligence is well defined and understood
