"'100% of this text is AI' is the new Scarlet Letter of dunking on people and posts."
"I hate to give the French credit for anything, but the 1960s semantic thinkers who created 'French Theory' really cooked when they anticipated Pangram and AI authorship 80 years ago."
"There are certain tells that you can spot where, it's like, 'This is a coherent sentence, but there's no way a human wrote this.'"
"To bastardize Voltaire, if a wise and brilliant author doesn't exist, the LLM has to invent one."
"People want authorship. They want authorship because it is meaning, because the indexing and relation and handling of ideas is itself the meaning of the idea."

Why do people in South Korea love Jews so much?
I went to Korea and saw something fascinating. Everyone in South Korea reads The Talmud.
So I asked Koreans, "Why does everyone here read a Jewish religious book?"
It turns out that 50 years ago, Koreans started wondering, "Why are Jewish people successful?"
So they took one of the Jewish religious texts, The Talmud, abridged it, and translated it to Korean.
They then began teaching The Talmud in schools and even using a Jewish learning technique called Chavruta.
So now, I am the only person in Korea who has never read The Talmud, and I am Jewish!
🚨 MEET THE SCUMBAG WHO BURNED THE BIGGEST SYNAGOGUE IN MISSISSIPPI 🚨
Stephen Spencer Pittman.
19.
Madison, Mississippi.
At 3:00 AM on January 10th, 2026, Pittman drove to Beth Israel Congregation in Jackson, the largest and most historic synagogue in the state.
He smashed his way in with an axe.
He poured gasoline across the lobby and set it ablaze.
Torah scrolls were incinerated.
Pittman called the shul the “synagogue of Satan" and bragged about torching it to his Father, who turned him in to the FBI.
Pittman was arrested and charged in federal court for maliciously destroying a religious institution by fire.
He’s facing up to 20 years in prison.
And he deserves every single one.

We asked @davidu (partner at @a16z) to break down the thesis behind the American Dynamism fund.
"We're going to invest in anything that supports the national interest."
"We need to have an energy storage infrastructure in this country that's not dependent on China."
"I would include everything from transportation, logistics, to education. You know, the tent is big."
