Grammarly will keep using authors’ identities without permission unless they opt-out expertoptout@superhuman.com.

“Now, Grammarly has finally addressed the backlash — but not by apologizing, and not by walking the feature back. For now, it will graciously give us the chance to opt-out of something we didn’t know it was doing to begin with.”

Goddammit Ingrid you can’t just go around coining all-timers like “sloppelganger” and not put it on the blockchain

And to be clear I don’t think that means an entire generation is screwed or full of bad people, in fact I think a lot about the kids who are trying to do their best and be moral in a world that teaches them to be immoral

Difficult to emphasize just how much a generation of kids has been taught that being dishonest, superficial, and narcissistic is the pathway to attention and therefore success

AND YET: in some ways he's completely correct, because no matter how transparently he demonstrates that he has zero knowledge about any subject, everyone continues to treat him as if he's thinking about stuff and understands it! It's mind-boggling!

It's maddening because his fundamental stupidity is obvious in quite literally every public statement he makes. He doesn't understand half the words he reads off teleprompters, evinces no familiarity with very basic concepts, and regularly asserts completely inane nonsense.

3/ Second, they confirmed "regime change" is also NOT on the list. So, they are going to spend hundreds of billions of your taxpayer dollars, get a whole bunch of Americans killed, and a hardline regime - probably a MORE anti-American hardline regime - will still be in charge.

I'm guessing there is no actual list of experts because I was able to get it to use me...by using my own name in the post I tested. Seems more like some kind of prompt that has it find people who seem relevant. bsky.app/profile/jane...

Is there a way to check if you’re in Grammarly’s “expert review” system without creating a Grammarly account?

Because (a) fuck Grammarly, and (b) fuck Grammarly.

Grammarly Is Offering ‘Expert’ AI Reviews From Your Favorite Authors—Dead or Alive The tool, offered by the recently-rebranded company Superhuman, gives feedback based on the work of famous dead and living writers—without their permission.

“Instead of producing what looks like a generic critique from a nameless LLM,” Wired reported last week, Expert Review “lists a number of real academics and authors available to weigh in on your text. To be clear: Those people have nothing to do with this process.”🤬

This has got to be some kind of defamation or something. You can’t just steal people’s IP and then pretend they’re saying something they never said.

This was always niantic's specific and real business model.

I played that game that they did first/before pokemon, and it was immediately clear their platform was always about gamifying geo data/imagery collection.

Always worth remembering they were spun out of goog.

leaders like trump are why sun tzu had to write a bunch of advice like "don't write your enemy a letter detailing what tactics you really don't want them to do"

Insurrectionist Brunch: Trumpists plotted to deploy military on U.S. soil Before the 2024 election, a cadre of MAGA loyalists met over brunch to plot ways for Trump to use the military domestically.

This is just astonishingly great reporting.

All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them.

And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.

Besides gaslighting uninformed people that he was a moderate, Donald Trump has also significantly gaslit millions of informed liberals into defeatism.

Fascism is unpopular. It cannot win without defeatism on the left.

Matt Elliott: Why Doug Ford needs to get over his obsession with Toronto and its waterfront The premier’s recent proposal for jets at Billy Bishop and a conference centre on reclaimed land follow 15 years of his various attempts to put his own stamp on the waterfront.

My @thestar.com column: For 15 years, Doug Ford has had an obsession with Toronto’s waterfront, hyping up half-baked ideas. The latest? A busier airport and a mega convention centre.

But the waterfront has never needed Ford's ideas—and will be worse because of them.

“This is an economic driver,” Ford added, speaking of the waterfront airport a short drive from downtown. “A lot of people don’t want to be driving up to Pearson … give people an option.”

Hm, yes, if only the provincial government would provide an option as an alternative to driving to Pearson. Maybe some sort of… express? www.thestar.com/news/gta/dou...
