I think he was excited at doing more output maybe? like kicking more things off his list faster? but then again when he said his wife and brother didn’t pull any punches in discussing it with him maybe it was encroaching on other parts of life too

it all just sort of makes sense, now, huh. all this shit was just generated by AI and he believed it all enough to parrot it on his podcast, and his fact checking team had to clean up after him this is a really massive blow to popular science. Everything is in question now. does he realize this?

I am unbelievably touched that @dropout.tv titled my @dimension20.dropout.tv Adventuring Academy episode “A Duty of Care”

I’m overwhelmed today, but I want to circle back in a while to share the links to everyone & everything I cited. More soon.

I worked at Disney a while ago. Do you know why theme parks are so safe? Because OOSHA reps can walk the track on any ride at any time and any safety violation they see is a $10,000 fine. Each. Theme parks are not safe because the company cares. They're safe because it's cheaper to comply.

Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.

my face when I googled something about my game darkwebSTREAMER and the genAI response declared that a man designed the pioneering language system that I, a woman, designed we were talking about erasure of women's achievements by LLMs YESTERDAY and today i see this? goddamn.

post shows a screenshot of google's AI response, then a question, then another response, with the following text:

Would you like to know more about how they built the procedural internet, details on the game's Twitch integration, or its estimated release date?


(human reply)
howo did they build the procedural internet

(google AI)
The development team behind darkwebSTREAMER bypassed standard game design templates to build what they call the "world's first procedurally generated internet". Instead of relying on static, pre-written text, the studio created a dynamic, reactive ecosystem using a custom-engineered blend of linguistic frameworks, anthropology, and proprietary Al systems.

Rather than utilizing modern Large Language Models (LLMs) which can break immersion or hallucinate incorrectly, they engineered a highly controlled, rule-based simulation from the ground up. Natural Language Processing (NLP) Architecture
• Dynamic Content Creation: Lead programmer Tony Li used his background in linguistics to design a bespoke NLP system. This system constructs text elements on the fly-including dark web forum posts, emails, and chat room logs-ensuring that grammar, syntax, and phrasing match a 1990s internet dialect.

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.
