curiously, Grok hallucinated about me a collaboration, past job, X behavioral pattern, & supposed 7-post thread. but the words it misattributed are AI-smelling prose extending real things I've said – maybe pretraining synthetic data leaking?
Gordon Mohr ꧁🧿🧿꧂@gojomo.bsky.social · last mo.FYI, tons of what Grok says here is false/hallucinatory! - my only 'collaboration' with Robin Hanson is as longtime reply guy - never been an EFF tech director - pretty sure I didn't write that text (though it matches my themes well) - can't find it my archive …
because I did not scroll back to before all my follows joined Bluesky, this client message is at least a little dishonest. "we gave up on loading older posts from your follows", perhaps.
all alleged problems of social media stem from an underinvestment in discourse refrigeration technology. social media still awaits its Willis Carrier, an inventor of A/C for all-to-all broadposting
Gordon@gordon.bsky.social · last yr.TikTok: hotter Bluesky: cooler “Hot Media are low in participation, cool media are high in participation or completion by the audience.” Video vs text. Like, rt, quote-tweet, context escape, context collapse = participation + completion.
would any frontier AI business dare to have its least-hallucinatory & most-prudent latest model review all of a user's past sessions for all matters needing correction, then reach out to them with updates & apologies?

the 2028 general election matchup: incumbent JD Vance – having assumed Presidency after tragic Air Force One staircase mishap termed by conspiracists the "Showgirls Coup" – against Robert Francis "Pope Leo XIV" Prevost. Vance is excommunicated live on TV halfway through 1st debate.

as with many statements, full undertones depend on stressed word: "*I* am not an Epstein victim" = "*I'm* too sharp to be such prey" "I am not an *Epstein* victim" = "I'm a *Trump* victim" "I am not an Epstein *victim*" = "I'm an Epstein *enabler*"
Melania's "I am not an Epstein victim" jacket is raising a lot of questions the jacket purports to answer!

I waited nearly 3.5 hours in a TSA line—and *still* almost missed my flight. The ability to get home shouldn’t hinge on Congress doing its job. Why are we still tolerating this? Nothing has made a better case for abolishing the TSA than this shutdown. I wrote about it: reason.com/2026/03/26/i...
I spent over 3 hours in a TSA line. Why haven't we abolished this agency?
The ability to get home should not be a privilege that is contingent on politicians or the political moment.
