Inspired by your post I figured I'd see what kind of infographic AI might produce for your book, A Course in Behavioral Economics. Buckle up!

@nature.com, you can just choose not to publish this AI slop instead of offending the Autistic community … what does this even mean with the lady’s legs penetrating a platform?

Nothing about it makes sense.

Putin's dictatorship has institutionalized the oppression of women not only by decriminalizing domestic violence, but by creating schools to brainwash women into accepting unpaid domestic servitude as their "natural" lot in life. Hence the denigration of paid work.

The ethics and integrity team at SN told me "We can confirm that the query has been received and logged for review in line with COPE guidelines."

I'd say... this should have an expression of concern ASAP, if not outright retraction.

8. CALLING BULLSHIT (Carl Bergstrom & Jevin West). I'm not really the target audience for this book, because, as @carlbergstrom.com can attest to, I already call bullshit on many things regularly. But it was a fun read all the same, entertaining, inquisitive, etc

Male-identified people who seek relationships with/ women: she literally told him what she wanted & set up a procedure for it.

Yet he still screwed up because he expected an in-person reminder & wanted someone else (her) to write the notes for him.

If he wants return to the days when a lyricist could genuinely rank being on an airplane w/ drinking champagne or indulging in cocaine, he’ll have to return all air travel to its expensive & exclusive status.

How many of us commoners would accept that?

Would the airlines accept it?
