Where I have landed on the Arday thingnis its basically a case of "charismatic charlatan causes total havoc" which is a fairly common story in most places other than academia

A stunning property, this 1930s Raymond Myerscough-Walker Sun House in Chilwell, Nottinghamshire, has had an asking price drop. Still doesn't come cheap, but it is one of the best-looking houses on the market right now - and the perfect summer dwelling. bit.ly/4hfQirA

I don’t think the Charity Commission would let Amnesty International UK get away with describing any other charity organised around beliefs which are protected in English law as “anti-rights”, nor should it do so.

BREAKING: A brand new “Christian men’s gym” in Georgia that bans women so pious men can have “lust-free workouts” lasted just 6 days before three men were caught “violating Leviticus in the locker room.”

“It’s not for soft power, it’s not for the greater good, so what is the US doing?" People rub their eyes at trader-turned-US Treasury secretary Scott Bessent, known for bets against the pound and the yen, turning his skills to defend... the yen... against the euro as.ft.com/r/12dda66e-8...

you're probably also not buying a $1500-$2000 custom-tailored suit from these guys, even though it'll outlast your ass! (click through, they put this mfer on a horse, it's great)

It is funny that as more people get duped by AI, the response more frequently seems to be to insist that the models are developing godlike intelligence and we all need to be sooo careful when the real lesson is clearly that the human psyche can get absolutely one-shotted by personalized flattery
