This is these guys in a nutshell. It's a shot-for-shot remake of the original trailer... except it's not even a good copy. It's not just that there is not a single original idea in there, they aren't even aware that they have taken out all the substance. (A li'l thread.)

@BreakingBack_ @jon_wertheim Being different does not mean that doubles is not a thinking, strategic game. Yes, if you practice for one version, adapting to the different geometries takes time and is difficult to do. Of course players specialize, doesn't mean one is a 'thinking game' and the other 'instinct'

[Max Gendler @MaxGendler]

@BreakingBack_ @jon_wertheim IMHO, this is fundamentally untrue.

So much to unpack here... and it's all amazing.

New: I tracked the precise movements of an NYC subway rider. Saw what specific time they got on and at what station. It became obvious which station was nearest to their home.

This was all because of a 'feature' on the MTA website

@hartzog Woody, I've been meaning to ask....

[NYTimesGuild @NYTimesGuild]

As members of @NYTimesGuild, we are baffled and infuriated by the Times proposal to dissolve our storied and award-winning Sports department. This announcement is a profound betrayal of our colleagues and of Times values.

[Max Gendler @MaxGendler]

I'm very disappointed to hear about the removal of the NYTimes sports section. Aside from a legacy of excellence, the sports section was full of genuinely wonderful people. They deserve to have their work lionized, not subsumed into other sections.

I have been waiting for a reason to write about the American smile for decades. And AI finally gave it to me.

AI and the American Smile
How AI misrepresents culture through a facial expression.

After a while I told my guides, only half joking, that Ghibli Park seemed like an extremely elaborate way to lure people out into the middle of an obscure Japanese forest.

Yes, they said. That is basically correct.

[Cory Doctorow NO LONGER ON TWIT TER @doctorow]

For important categories, ambiguity is a feature, not a bug. The fact that you can write anything on an envelope (including a direction to deliver the letter to the granny flat over the garage, not the front door) means that we don't have to define "address." 34/

[Max Gendler @MaxGendler]

@PrivacyMatters Would you be able to point me to any further reading that disambiguates the two terms? I often see them used interchangeably, and certainly intend to cover broader cases with my work.
Also a potential that the overlap in term usage may differ on different sides of the Atlantic?

[Max Gendler @MaxGendler]

Reminder: AI doesn't know how to separate facts and fiction.

AI news, AI lawyers, and AI judges are all nonsense.

[Max Gendler @MaxGendler]

@doctorow Broadly agreed, but important to note some of the big platform players do have context rich environments; YouTube, maps, etc.

[Max Gendler @MaxGendler]

@robinberjon @hartzog Have you considered a boat load of advertising money?
