@AmericanGwyn I just read a book called “The God of the Woods” and I swear to you the longest bit without a “break” was like 3 paragraphs. It was mind numbing.
@mikealmquist For real? That’s the episode that made me keep watching. White knuckle entertainment. I’m guessing you weren’t a fan of Uncut Gems? But you might as well bail now because it’s all downhill from there. That show nosedives hard.
@FrannieBlock@AudreyFahlberg Platner is a waste of breath, but this is rich coming from the rag that’s been casually defending Trump since its inception.
@ConvoswColeman@shellenberger@coldxman Dude. Michael Shellenberger is a vapid shell of a “journalist” and anything that comes out of his face is most likely bullshit. As evidenced here. Sad to see your fall from grace having lunatics like this on your show and treating him like a serious person.
@CryptoUB This isn’t new information. They tried this and it didn’t work. It has nothing to do with crackpot losers who believe in chem trails or whatever.
@KelseyTuoc@esterdiol@brazen__head My grandfather spent two years of his childhood bedridden with polio. He was lucky to survive, and we’re all lucky to have vaccines and modern medicine.
@DouthatNYT So basically as long as the administration says it’s legal, OpenAI will allow them to do whatever they want. Cool. This admin is known for its upstanding moral code and commitment to truth.
@TrungTPhan Ezra Klein talks about that a lot. AI gives you a damn good rough draft, but when you write your own rough draft, that’s when you get some of your best ideas. Skipping the work means you miss what was rewarding about it often times.
@benryanwriter This reminds me, I believe I have you to thank for posting something about Lonesome Dove being an amazing novel. Probably the best thing I’ve read since … maybe ever. And now I’m gonna have to watch the mini series because I heard it’s pretty damn solid. So, thank you!
@KelseyTuoc@johnvmcdonnell@teachthemx3 I love your work, but I’ve see you make this claim before and it strikes me as impossible. Little Women is just under 500 pages long. How is a 3rd grader reading that in a week, while doing other class work, if they are only “working” 2 hours/day?
@KelseyTuoc@teachthemx3 Curious what qualifies as doing geometry? Finding the area of a rectangle? What qualifies as algebra? One sided variable equations with one step? My 3rd grader does those basics in a relatively low income NY (not NYC) public school.
@asymmetricinfo This dude is the epitome of a pseudo intellectual. His entire post boils down to the fact that he was happier as a kid than as a middle aged man who posts too much on Twitter.
@benryanwriter How could any literate person read that piece and call it “a glowing profile”? I guess literacy and comprehension are two different skills.
@Stoiiic Great read. The sad thing is, Kahneman himself said in an interview with Sam Harris that he falls victim to all of the biases constantly. These are bugs in our software. Knowing them helps, but still…we is what we is.
@asymmetricinfo Agreed. Anytime I talk with someone who thinks AI is overblown/hype, they’ve never used a paid tier, never used codex or CC, and stopped using ChatGPT before “thinking” was released. It’s really a lack of imagination in where this all goes given the major leaps in two years.
@CryptoUB Doesn’t Saylor buy billions of dollars of BTC every week and it barely moves the needle? So this is like 1/50th that…not sure it’s huge news.
