I know the suppression of academic freedom needs to be the headline of this oklahoma thing but I canβ€˜t get over the immense secondhand embarrassment from reading that damn essay

We need to cultivate and encourage normal intelligence before we layer things with artificial intelligence.

The "say the line, bart!" meme from the simpsons, wherein the students are saying "Say the line, cosmologists" and bart simpson responds "the uncertainties are still too great to resolve the hubble tension"

Walz on calling for Trump to release MRI results: "Here we got a guy on Thanksgiving where we spent time with our families, ate, played Yahtzee. This guy is apparently in a room ranting. It's not normal behavior. It's not healthy. Has anyone in history ever had an MRI & had no idea what it was for?"

You claim to love sport but shit on women’s leagues? Idk man it sounds like you just like staring at other men. More power to you, of course, but I love watching sports so much I simply do not care about the gender of the people playing

Gov Walz is saying what we’ve been saying. If the president is this erratic, then the public deserves to know what is going on. Four simple words: show the MRI results.

If Trump is fine, prove it. If he isn’t, step aside.

β€œNovember,” a play in two lines:

Family Member: …it’s a balmy 65 down here today, are you regretting the move to Minneso-

Me: Cold is but a state of mind. Hot is an oppressive force unequaled by anything else man or nature could conjure. Your weakness in the face of adversity is not mine.

Is THE BAT X conscious? Does Steamer love me? Would ZiPS consider me a friend? Will OOPSY invite me to its wedding?

Scientists: have you been the target of an online harassment campaign, doxxing, or weaponized FOIA requests? I'd like to talk to you about steps you had to take to protect your digital security for an upcoming Nature story. (You can be anonymous if necessary.)

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Journalist challenge: Use β€œMachine Learning” when you mean machine learning and β€œLLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch β€œAI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. πŸ§ͺ
