I have not read this yet but I have laughed a lot from Amy’s tweets about Nextdoor. This should be really good.

It's one thing to have bad opinions on here, whatever, but I really don't want to hear about how antisemitic al-Sayed is from people paying the world's richest Nazi so they have extra characters to tweet about it
After my rant about Bill Clinton earlier, I think it’s time to re-read this classic about the OG triangulator himself. It came out in 1999 and I read it back then but I don’t remember much, besides it being very scathing and funny.

Well, Gwen Pepperoni deactivated because of this Ken Jennings bullshit. Really depressing. Whether you agree that it’s bad to claim to be a trans ally while being subscribed to the NYT or not, his response to a genuine concern was very dismissive and even mocking.

There. Are. No. Trans. Women. In. The. WNBA. This whole conversation is a racist trap and long circuitous argument that always comes back to insulting cisgender Black women by calling them not women. In particular it attacks: Brittany Griner, Liz Cambage, and A'Ja Wilson.
The trans allies point out that 6'3 former college men's basketball players even struggle in 1 v 1 against 6'8 Liz Cambage, not just because she is tall. Other women are tall. But she can move, is deceptively fast, and can dunk with ease. The size and power combination are difficult to overcome.

I need your help! If you have been better than me at saving/bookmarking good threads, blogs, articles etc. explaining how LLMs function scientifically or critiquing/assessing their use in a complex way (ie not just calling them “plagiarism machines,” tho I do agree), can you share your links here?
look at the comments the NYTimes decided to highlight in that wretched David Ellison piece versus the comments that were actually popular
this is both infuriating and sad to watch having him on at this point is really just taking advantage of a man who can't string together a single coherent thought
