YouTube video by The Daily Show Ronny Chieng Investigates the Promises of AI, the Most Expensive Circle Jerk Ever | The Daily Show

Really proud of my friend Peter from college. He was always the smartest, kindest person in the room. And now everyone knows he's wicked funny, he was on the Daily Show talking about AI! youtu.be/RcPthlvzMY8?...

And the title references her best song! ☺️

It's been a cool race to watch. Aftyn has done well to focus on affordability on the air waves while using her social media to remind her base, "hey we still care about the other stuff, but we gotta win on this part of the message." Hope my vote is pivotal 😅.

Talk about keeping your powder dry.

I live in Tennessee's 7th district with the Aftyn Behn special election. Just got the neighborhood social pressure treatment and some new "compared to others in the state" one. Neat

Cue Oceans Eleven/ National Treasure level quest to get those birds for me.

Someone asked me what my "last meal" would be and I immediately answered, "One of the pardoned Thanksgiving Turkeys." I have never felt so clever, funny, and quick witted.

Elon should do matrix algebra on a live stream. If he gets a passing grade, I'll buy a Tesla.

We agree, Andrew.

In Post-Authenticity AI Age, Knowledge Institutions Matter More than Ever | TechPolicy.Press The pressing question is whether we can rebuild epistemic infrastructure before norms of authenticity decay beyond repair, writes John Wihbey.

Humans evolved strong mechanisms for evaluating credibility. Yet these depend on an information ecosystem rich in trustworthy institutions and credible choices. The question is whether we can rebuild this epistemic infrastructure before norms of authenticity decay beyond repair, writes John Wihbey.

On 9/10 votes, these individuals would vote the same way. But intra-party perceptions of what moderate/progressive sides stand for are probably way more polarized. Probably a publication here. Attribute progressive policies to moderates and measure percieved authenticity and favorability. Neat.

Mamdani won. Gonna treat myself to an $8 chocolate croissant tomorrow morning while we still have a free market 😂.

Voting is my favorite part of the election "cycle!" 😎

Can I get a NYT op-ed just listing the top ten people I would NEVER take election analysis from? 😂

Gift link or "grift link" 😉

(1) it doesn't sound like you have those negative motives. (2) make the suggestion in service of aiding their argument. "XXX found a similar effect, using Y method. Consider citing them to bolster your argument and make clear the theory has more observable implications (KKV language)." My 2 cents.

:)

Lots of great signs today at No Kings in Nashville. If I had to boil it down to two, it would be these...

No Kings in Nashville had great turnout!

100% agree. Don't gotta sell me on that. Partly embarrassed, it wasn't on my radar as I was literally writing the IRB while listening to oral arguments. Empirically, it's a nice addition to the lit showing those predictable and stable drops in legitimacy pre/post Roe being overturned.

About to IRB a study on court legitimacy Monday/tuesday. Currently using a version of the Stimson measures at the moment. I have to spend the cheddar before mid Nov. currently just a three arm experiment with a few pretest items. lmk if you think something in particular should get thrown in.

Tomorrow, SCOTUS will hear arguments in Louisiana v. Callais, a major threat to (what remains of) the 1965 Voting Rights Act. But this isn't the first time the VRA has faced dire threats; in 2013 and 2021, SCOTUS weakened other provisions. We can learn from those why Callais could be so dangerous 🧵

Yeah. Just listened again. It's all pretty explicit. 😤

Fwiw, specifically about healthcare for illegals.

Can confirm. It's the most passive aggressive "out of office" message ever.

If you have to preface that you are not trolling....you are trolling. It's the new, "with all due respect," followed by being disrespectful. 😓

How do you know Rachel Cohen? My childhood rival? 😂 With y'all all the way!
