I enjoy looking at this World Cup map before every game I watch. In which countries do the players from each national team play? The map also allows you to look at which club sends which players to the World Cup. Bayern Munich sends more players than anyone else. Source: https://t.co/m5qnGMVime

4 - Sweden are the first side to win their first game by 4+ goals (5-1) and then lose their second by 4+ goals (1-5) at a FIFA World Cup tournament since...

Sweden in 1938.

ABBA.

Different LLMs, when asked to write an essay on the same debate prompt, converge on the same main argument far more often than humans do, a phenomenon we call "argument collapse". On ~200 debate prompts, LLM essays make a unique main argument just 3% of the time, compared to 65% for human authors.

While each LLM essay might be totally reasonable on its own, as more and more of them spread through public discourse, they flatten the range of arguments that we read. Read more 👇
