So OpenAI is actively marketing ChatGPT to students during college finals season in the U.S. We've talked many (many) times before about the kinds of harm that can come from giving over too much epistemic and heuristic authority over to these systems, but additionally, there's been at least three…

Josh Allen is the protagonist that is protecting the world from a Chiefs Eagles rematch. We need him in this time of hopelessness #GoBills

I didn’t want Eagles in the Super Bowl, but it’s hard not being happy for Saquon Barkley. We knew the Giants squandered him but WOW.
