The guys that run this site are galaxy-brained meatballs who only enforce their TOS against Palestinians and trans people so thatโ€™s all for me! Iโ€™ll leave my profile up for posterity.

This galaxy-brained shithead โ€œitโ€™s actually the people complaining about the problem that are the real problem!โ€

Gee man I thought the user experience was supposed to take precedence over your friend being irritated about doing his job but thatโ€™s my mistake! And when youโ€™re banning people from the platform for complaining, *every post you make on this platform* is fair game for criticism. Hope that helps!

Never apologize for calling either of these guys bitches. Theyโ€™re smugly hiding behind an ancient twitter meme to avoid taking any responsibility for the website they operate

User safety is supposed to be tedious my man! Thatโ€™s the โ€œworkโ€ portion of operating a site whose only value is user interaction! You just decided that being irritated by user complaints is more material than the complaints themselves, because youโ€™re two shitheads with a clubhouse.

A cop pinned this crash on Lacy with a negligent homicide charge despite their footage showing Lacy a football field behind the accident. He actually slows down and drives around the crash in the footage, b/c it has already happened. Flagrantly false charges on a 24 year old kid & he killed himself.

Thatโ€™s .001 percent of all jobs in America lost in a single month, which may not sound like much until you consider that itโ€™s .001 percent of all jobs in America lost in a single month

If you see something like โ€œBen Affleck, 53, will star with Matt Damon, 54, in the new film by Christopher Nolan, 55โ€ you should raise an eyebrow

I feel bad about this so let me clarify - this Daily Beast piece isnโ€™t A.I. just because it made a weird stylistic choice in the headline. It probably isnโ€™t! But including a subjectโ€™s age when you introduce them rather than when you quote them is an โ€œerrorโ€ that generative text routinely makes.

02.10.2025 14:37 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 6    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Itโ€™s just predictive text. The style is to use the subjectโ€™s age with a quote or when it relates to the story, like โ€œโ€˜Magic Beds are realโ€™,โ€ says Trump, 79.โ€ But AI does it when it introduces a subject, like โ€œBen Affleck, 53, will host SNL with Matt Damon, 54.โ€ Itโ€™s not wrong, just not quite right.

it's so funny that Greenblatt bent over backwards to these people and annihilated his organization's credibility with anyone left of center to get absolutely nothing from the right

It might be intentional! But deleting a weird video about magic beds is maniac behavior rather than old guy behavior so his age doesnโ€™t connect as a joke to me, just superfluous information.

Youโ€™ll see it a lot in smaller publications and content farms

Yep! Any time you see a subjectโ€™s age clunkily inserted into the middle of a headline or sentence, thatโ€™s almost definitely AI. There are situations where it makes sense, weโ€™ve all seen age written this way, but when it feels weirdly out of place, thatโ€™s predictive text

Putting the subjectโ€™s age in the headline is a dead giveaway of A.I.

A post on X by Mehdi Hasan (@mehdirhasan
) expresses frustration, asking how anyone can read a definition of fascism and not be alarmed, emphasizing that it is happening now. The post includes a quote from Cody Johnston (@drmistercody
) from one day ago, defining fascism as a form of political behavior marked by an obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victimhood, and compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity. The definition describes a mass-based party of nationalist militants working with traditional elites, abandoning democratic liberties, and pursuing redemptive violence for internal cleansing and external expansion without ethical or legal restraints.

Oh yes, this is clearly now.
