Greenland base is back on the menu boys

Yeah I guess Ted Cruz is one of yours too so I should really update these files

Solid. I’d add cooking tweezers to a list like this.

Seems weird but I use them a ton.

I’m not sure there’s room in my worldview (largely informed by watching every episode of Due South and having a man crush on Stan Rogers) for the possibility that Canadians can be bad.

I have to lib extra hard here to offset the stain of working with AI

Posts are just convex derivatives within the broader attention economy.

These instruments let posters externalize attentional risk onto followers, who bear the carrying cost of timeline noise in exchange for occasional delta exposure to good content.

I’m mostly kidding with the above, of course.

I have many friends with Republican friends.

Jack Bogle’s vision finally realized!

“Heavily Republican friend”

Explain yourself.

Optimism? In this economy?

The thing you have to understand is that “will no one rid me of this turbulent priest” was purely rhetorical, as was the part where I was like “make sure he’s all the way dead.”

I mean there’s more to it, they also measured how much people wrote and whatnot (have some methodological questions here as well) but let’s recap:

A blogger wrote a clickbait title largely misrepresenting a study they barely read, and we are thinking AI summarization is a learning risk.

Okay.

Once participants finished the search task, they proceeded to write their advice on the topic within the survey. After writing their advice, they rated the extent to which they agreed with a series of items that captured the focal measures (on a 1: “Strongly disagree” to 5: “Strongly agree” scale). To capture the degree to which participants felt they learned from the search task—the focal construct of interest—they rated their agreement with three items: “I learned new things on the topic from the Google/ChatGPT results,” “The Google/ChatGPT results provided comprehensive information on the subject,” and “I feel a sense of personal ownership over what I learned.” To capture how invested they were in forming their advice, participants rated their agreement with two items: “I put a lot of thought and effort into generating my advice” and “I feel a sense of personal ownership over the advice I gave.” To provide a third, proxy measure of how invested participants were in forming the advice, a timer was embedded into the Qualtrics page where participants completed the advice task, allowing us to record the amount of time they spent writing it.

Just read an article titled “ChatGPT may help you find information faster but you learn less” which sounds scary but then you look at the study it’s referencing and they’re measuring… self-reported learning vibes?

Don’t slouch on the MASTER ROOM hallway just outside the MASTER SUITE, not many houses have that.

Global gift link is hilarious well played NYT

Yeah it’s gonna nail this use case I bet so we gotta get our shots in now.

Coat baths are the future Greg, the only question is whether we mere mortals are ready

Room labeled COAT BATH

Proofreading is only valuable if you don’t want a COAT BATH

This room is only for flushing cocaine when the cops show up that’s why it’s called the powder room.

AI knows best.

Funniest thing about all this is I’m like 90% sure models will be able to do this in a few years.

Definitely more to being an architect than making these drawings, but I think they will be able to make these drawings.

If you read it in Cartman’s voice it makes more sense

Have you ever wished you had a JACK & JII FUh Bah #2 with three sinks?

That’s the power of AI.

Trust the process

A RIF by any other name…

I’ll come back with some hot takes about AI ending journalism tomorrow so you can refuel

^ me when I show up in your mentions

I have pledged fealty to the immortal war god Achilles to force you to believe in tinkerbell.
