I think it’s important to know when your time is up, and leave the stage. As with Shumer. As with Pelosi. As with me, deciding not to figure out Will Stancil’s deal.

this is not true, it's a blatant lie, it hasn't even been a decade yet

hoping that when they say the LLM talks like a Ph.D.-level expert, they mean "holds indecipherable decades-long academic grudges expressed largely in the form of questions that are actually more of a comment"

Trip Gabriel, “Sandra Grimes, Who Helped Unmask a C.I.A. Traitor, Dies at 79,” New York Times, August 3, 2025. Aldrich H. Ames, the C.I.A. mole whose betrayal led to the execution of at least eight Russian double agents who spied for the U.S., a devastating setback for American intelligence, was discovered from bookkeeping entries. He was identified by a counterintelligence analyst, Sandra Grimes, who was once in charge of C.I.A. secretaries and clerks. In 1992, merging data from two spreadsheets, Ms. Grimes noticed that Mr. Ames made bank deposits of up to $9,000 on three occasions just after lunches with a Soviet Embassy official in Washington. “It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to tell what is going on here,” she exclaimed to her colleagues. “Rick is a goddamn Russian spy.”
