I think this post nails the actual problem, for researchers at least—AI hallucinations would simply not be a problem in academic work if we’d not normalized citation-as-signaling rather than actual engagement—you can only cite a fake paper if you’re not in the habit of reading the papers you cite
Do not cite an academic paper unless you’ve read it
AI Is Inventing Academic Papers That Don't Exist -- And They're Being Cited in Real Journals

one of our biggest problems is we spent decades coddling straight white male conservatives. we took their dumb as fuck ideas seriously, even though history, logic and science showed theyre completely unworkable. and now we're stuck with a bunch of dumbasses who have been coddled for too long

this is literally the dictionary definition of "chump change" and its why corporations dont feel any problem with fucking over consumers. the fines and settlements they pay out are so dwarfed by the enormity of their profits. this is like getting a speeding ticket for 2 cents.

The US TikTok sale has been signed. The company will be controlled by a joint venture including Oracle, Silver Lake, Andreessen Horowitz, Abu Dhabi-based MGX. Adding a UAE company really makes it clear that this was never about national security concerns.

They booked a bunch of 14 year old models to come to a Mar A Lago party, told them to dress sexy and tried to ply them with alcohol.
These are the people who are willing to go on the record.

A month ago, NYT columnist David Brooks wrote a column decrying the media and political fixation on the Epstein story.
This afternoon, House Democrats released a new tranche of photos of an event that Brooks attended with Epstein.

No corporation has ever been your friend.
No corporation will ever give a damn about you.
Treat companies in kind with the callous disdain they have for you, and all of humanity.
There is no such thing as a compassionate or altruistic capitalist.
Spare your love & solidarity for other people.

My sense is that the “male loneliness crisis” is not really about addressing men’s emotional needs but rather the relatively newfound absence of having someone to perform domestic labor for you quietly in the background now that there is a longer gap between your mother and your wife doing it

El mejor operador político desde el 2014 ha sido el PUSC: se convirtió en una fracción minoritaria en la AL pero eso no le ha restado la capacidad de cogobernar en el Ejecutivo en mayor o menor medida desde LGS hasta Chaves.

the reason why the right was able to use immigration so effectively isnt because of any material policy change under the biden. the minute he won the right began saying he opened the border. the democratic response was no response so the right's narrative dominated. and that happened for 4 yrs.

Tenemos que comprender que el arreón que ha pegado la ultraderecha en todo el mundo no responde a lógicas locales. Eso podría explicar giros en un país o dos, pero es un reordenamiento a nivel global que coincide con el tecnofeudalismo de las RRSS y con Billonarios comprando medios y elecciones.
