@OurRevolution @adammcginnis Don’t repost AI x-not-y slop: “That’s not charity. It’s a purchase order.” 👎

[profharvey @profharvey]

@BenMcCombe Ugh, Salzman statement oozes AI slop. Painful and embarrasing to read -- undermines the 'heart to heart' impact. Sad!

[profharvey @profharvey]

@WillOremus Part of the explanation lies in the larger structure that "this not that" is part of: being-verb statements. LLMs love being-verb statements, I think because they fit well with 'predict-the-next-word.' Active verb constructions work well when you know where the sentence is going.

@nikitabier Top 30 includes Elon, right?

@JonahDispatch @baseballcrank @willcollier Wow, you transmogrified baseballcrank's partisan drivel into a thoughtful and illuminating post. Thank you! Obama is a confusing figure, centrist and ideologue at the same time -- this is helpful in figuring out how that worked.

@keysmashbandit First of all, awesome to see two version side by side.

Second, to me the Chat version is clearly better almost everywhere. Here's a list of what I think gets better:

@ka_grieco Jeez, don't use AI to draft these. Painful. Interferes with perfectly good content.

[profharvey @profharvey]

@emollick Feel the same way about bot posts. Soul-crushing. So a thought: Human identity now has a market value. That means a solution is profitable at right price-point. Human ID verification or you can't post? Or bot filter? We can't just surrender discourse without a fight, right?

@BillKristol I wrote about this a long time ago...

@BigJakeCLE This is fine. But you do understand, at some level, that ICE is doing what Trump wants, right? He is not the man you thought/convinced yourself you were voting for. And the moral honesty you show here -- and good for you -- is not something you will ever see from Trump.

[profharvey @profharvey]

Trump second term: more Americans killed by US government than by terrorists.

We need more interviews with guys like this

@ASFleischman It's a lonely battle, but I wage it to uphold the ancient understanding: "There's a reason the DOJ didn't USE to talk like this."

[profharvey @profharvey]

@bill_hayton I think Clausewitz considered it. Sounds a lot like, among other parallels, Vikings, Anglo-Saxons, Normans battling it out in Britain/England in the 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th centuries... Check out "the harrying of the north"

[profharvey @profharvey]

@karpathy Good, but educators (and parents) must consider the nature of the knowledge they need to encourage and help develop: 'ground knowledge' and expertise. https://t.co/TjhpvQXtQr

I use LLMs a lot, but god I hate they way they talk. ChatGPT is probably the worst. It’s like Hemingway meets Hallmark.

If you think democracy is on the line - working in the office is not a big ask. And there are plenty of other people willing to step up. Get yourselves together people.

How is

“here, enjoy this 50 year mortgage”

different from

“you will own nothing and you will like it”

[profharvey @profharvey]

@sama Working with Chat, appreciate it a lot, overall. One suggestion: when in Project mode, add a bit more visual info so you know WHICH project you're in at a glance... easy to add this top left...
