Patient, sobbing: But Doctor, I AM Pagliacci!
ChatGPT: Apologies. I didn't realise when recommending Pagliacci's epic show to cure your depression that you were the genius himself. I'm impressed! With regards to your initial question, I can recommend seeing the Great Clown Pagliacci.

The people who say trans people have advantages in sports are the same ones saying that trans kids shouldnโ€™t have access to puberty blockers.
Itโ€™s never been about fairness in sports. Itโ€™s transphobia.

I don't like to speak badly of people. I have grown up thinking and being told that if you cannot say something nice about someone, you should not say anything at all. But I must break that rule in this case because I hate Hulk Hogan very much. He is a big ugly goon and I want to squash his face.

We did an ALAB on the sanctioning of Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur for Palestine. We discuss the order the sanctions are based on, the UN convention they violate, and how these sanctions work to repudiate of a core function of the UN itself. soundcloud.com/alabpodcast/...

Donkey Kong Bananza is a true return to form for Nintendo in that it's an incredibly inventive, wildly fun platformer with the worst camera you've ever seen in a video game (complimentary)

People who should know better think of it as an independent thinking piece of software! Itโ€™s not! LLMs cannot reliably follow rules or even actually โ€œunderstandโ€ a rule.

Calling large language models โ€œAIโ€ is a huge mistake because people think it is reasoning when itโ€™s just fancy probabilistic text prediction. It canโ€™t โ€œunderstandโ€ anything!

William F. Buckley's Bill Never Came Due | Defector Perhaps the highest praise I can offer a book that took 27 years to complete and runs over 1,000 pages is that I can see why, and that it doesnโ€™t feel like it. Sam Tanenhausโ€™s extremely long and anxio...

I also like that you canโ€™t really do originalism because a lot of the people who helped draft the charter are still alive (I know nothing about legal stuff but presumably this makes it harder to be a weirdo on this stuff)
