Grokipedia Is the Antithesis of Everything That Makes Wikipedia Good, Useful, and Human Grokipedia is not a 'Wikipedia competitor.' It is a fully robotic regurgitation machine designed to protect the ego of the world’s wealthiest man.

Once again, absolutely fine that everyone on social media is seeing MPs tell easily disprovable lies at a time when trust in politics and the media is already incredibly low, this definitely won't have any negative consequences

I was having an emotion, and I hate that.

my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

Great news on a Sunday(+a journal with a 5% acceptance rate! @efpraxiaz.bsky.social and I analysed the EU AI Act via Critical Discourse Analysis. While it initially emphasises human rights, it then constructs migrants+refugees as threats, justifying surveillance tech (and even polygraphs?)

Idiocracy is fundamentally a movie in soft praise of eugenics but holy fuck if it didn't predict some of these really shitty values, behaviors, and aesthetics.

in this week's newsletter! if you would like to know how my trip to Oslo went, please know I've titled the piece "notes on a Scandisaster": youngvulgarian.substack.com/p/continenta... [free to read!]
