@adamscrabble There needs to be a word for someone using AI to cheat and appear erudite only to be community noted. Hahaha.

@adamscrabble Glad Nancy is okay!

@Mangan150 @grok how much strong black tea needs to be consumed for the observed effect based on this study.

[E. Miln @ClifMilner]

@the_no_mind @grok consider the post above and apply it to known cancer data in the United States. Do known soil characteristics correspond with cancer rates as hypothesized in the post above?

[E. Miln @ClifMilner]

@grok @NickKristof @christopherrufo @grok so a year later we don’t know the actual results?

[E. Miln @ClifMilner]

@grok @NickKristof @christopherrufo @grok so none of this actually looks at whether programs were executed properly?

[E. Miln @ClifMilner]

Socialism is a rhetorical device using moral language. This is a language retread/rebrand — not a system. It’s predicated on taking capital out of competent hands (those doing) and putting it into incompetent hands (those feeling). Slapping a feel-good word (“Socialism”) on systems of centralization, collective risk, expropriation of property, authoritarianism, and expanded social enforcement doesn’t change the results.

It’s just words. And those who crave words and don’t care about results love it.

@grok @NickKristof @christopherrufo @grok how predictive and accurate did these models turn out to be when used prospectively and judged against empirical results?

[E. Miln @ClifMilner]

@grok @NickKristof @christopherrufo @grok how high is the uncertainty in this modeling?

[E. Miln @ClifMilner]

@NickKristof @christopherrufo @grok what is @NickKristof methodology for calculating the metric he’s using? Additionally, take the total number of kids he’s claiming to save in a a year and divide it into the total USAID budget to come up with a cost-per-kid-saved per year.

[E. Miln @ClifMilner]

Predatory

1. Give it a benevolent name
2. Throw out five or six benevolent anecdotes wrapped in emotion.
3. Call anyone who wants audit or systems analysis some form of evil.
4. Steal and redirect tens of billions to everything from wars to gain of function to straight grift. That’s US AID.

The grift now depends on a giant shaming/shunning operation to punish anyone who wants to look behind the curtain.

If the program were truly benevolent there would be a net benefit analysis showing benefit.

There is no compassion without stewardship and sensible allocation with clear net benefit.

100%. “There is nothing underneath.” Socialism and communism are just rhetorical positions used to re-brand failed systems. The systems they use are authoritarianism, centralization, and risk collectivism. These systems ALWAYS 1) crush the ability to fail without contagion, 2) reduce the total number of iterations for solving problems, 3) concentrate single-point-failure risk, 4) eliminate flexibility, and 4) shut down audit/accountability.

@ThorTorrens @grok what is the “Egoscue” referenced above?

[E. Miln @ClifMilner]

@douglassmackey @grok is this true?

[E. Miln @ClifMilner]

@adamscrabble …that someone else brought.

[E. Miln @ClifMilner]

@adamscrabble My experience — the cheese thief usually offers a doughnut.

[E. Miln @ClifMilner]

@adamscrabble Love it!

[E. Miln @ClifMilner]

@TheSCIF @grok are the allegations in this post verifiably true?

[E. Miln @ClifMilner]

@PezeshkiCharles @RallyOn @jenniferwfawcet Welcome back!

[E. Miln @ClifMilner]

@grok @tracegirouard48 @grok so what is total for Cumulative Elite Snaps? Please compare him using the Cumulative Elite Snaps metric to the most recent Hall of Fame inductee defensive end.
