Every day I have a new reason to hate AI, but today’s is that they faked the work of one of my longtime collaborators.

Yup. I knew someone who worked at Eddie Bauer and he had to set aside money to buy one outfit every season because they couldn't wear old or sale rack items. He wore the same outfit every day to make it hurt less, but it still hurt.

A customer just tried to use an employee discount code that ChatGPT gave her. I work at a high-end clothing store and clocked in to my manager telling me about the most unhinged interaction from yesterday. A woman walked in asking if she could use a 40% off code she got online. We don't have any sales running, so my manager looks at the screen and realizes ChatGPT straight up handed this woman a real employee's internal ID number.

Stephen Miller's Office of Remigration deliberately announces right in its name that white nationalism is the basis for US immigration policy. Dems should defund it. The great Posting Through It pod invited me on to talk about my reporting on Miller. We went deep: open.spotify.com/episode/5OAX...

I'm talking about campuses that have banned them for things like drinking and rape. That is what the consequences need to be.

Yes. Fuck them. And when you look at the rape stats associated with fraternities and sororities, that's your answer. If they want access to campuses they can earn it.

Female sororities don't run rape mills. Maybe they can stay just to make a point. But ultimately campuses without them don't miss them.

Sascha_Vykos2 @saschavykos.bsky.social · 13h
They need to be banned from campuses. That is the oversight. That is the consequences of what they do and the culture of impuginity they've created. They don't need babysitters, they need to not live together in school sanctioned rape houses that come with benefits and resume fillers for rapists.

I want impeachment just for the fact that he doesn't have "total immunity" when he's not the president and if nothing else he can spend his last days shitting his pants and falling asleep in court instead of on a golf course. It's not like he's going to stop committing crimes.

They do not give a fuck if Americans get nuked. They'll hide in bunkers while we die. Which is why they feel so comfortable instigating wars just to make obscene amounts of money for their friends in the oil industry. While they leach us dry with tariffs.

The audio book narrator is really good. He has a kind of 50s vibe that just feels right. Shirer's favorite insult (or, more accurately, observation) for nazis seemed to be the word "shabby", but you really feel the derision when it's spoken.

For journalists, yes. That kind of outreach is pretty routine in many science and medical professions. And usually done by people not doing full time work in those fields *while they are doing that work*. I wasn't asking for a free tutorial now.

Sascha_Vykos2 @saschavykos.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
I am talking about general public outreach. Not you. Because it's a different skill set. And maybe it would reduce the number of people who think googling is research and giving you shit like you quoted.

Literally no. Please read the first sentence that I wrote again. I am specifically *not* talking about you. Or now. Or to me.

Sascha_Vykos2 @saschavykos.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
And certainly not in published papers not related to that topic. It seems like journalists could use something similar. Likely by people not actually doing full time journalism because those people already have full time jobs.

I already said it's not your job. There's no reason to be defensive about it because I specifically said not you now or related to or in your piece. I'm talking about a larger conversation that would be beneficial for folks to hear about. Eg science "outreach" almost never come from scientists..

I am not saying you should do this or should have, but I think in general more talk about how fact checking nuts and bolts would be helpful. Some people are bad faith jackasses, that can't be helped, but a lot of people do not understand the depth and those things often can't be put in articles.
