Anyway I continue to think the nuclear block sucks. Guy spent all morning ranting at me about how Mamdani is bad for sharing a consultant with Platner and then blocked me and played the victim to his followers, who can now no longer see the full convo to learn the truth.

The NYT definitely made a choice not to add “without evidence” to this headline.

These stories seem pretty much across the board
At this point, our intro comp/first-year English course has been so heavily revised, it no longer includes a novel, or "extended reading" of any kind, no "specialized" or "historical" reading, mostly in-class assignments, no research essay...and we are still seeing a 40-50% rate of AI misconduct.

Is there merit? Because nobody seems to know this has been done multiple times already, Al Greene has recently been telling people he’s going to do it again

Last night after Thanksgiving dinner when putting my baby in the car seat I put that sweater I’ve been knitting and posting about — finished just a few hours earlier — on the top of the roof of our car. And yes, obviously I forgot it there.

If we’re going to provide something expensive to a lot of people who don’t have it—and I think we should!—that’s going to come from somewhere. Though we might get there by having a charming liar tell the voters “It’ll all be free once we shoot Glonzo, the monster that’s eating our healthcare.”

This is not why I pay for health insurance though! I can’t even figure out a way to extend the grocery store metaphor to cover a catastrophic health event

They thought we, being radical leftists apparently, would put a "DOGE sucks" type of message onto government websites or into government communication systems
My evidence for that: the right did exactly this to government websites. So they were projecting what they planned to do onto us.

Journalists are jumping all over this guy but what evidence do we have that isn’t true. I’m not even saying it is true, but why would we take their word that it isn’t?
I assume journalists do this stuff all the time. Maybe more on the editorial side, but as a non-journalist, I don’t particularly care what part of the organization is tasked to do the consent-manufacturing. This assumption is based on my observations of journalism in the run up to the Iraq War.

This doesn’t even make sense, how could Nuzzi and Lizza have possibly acted alone on this stuff
you know, what if they aren't actually a commentary on journalism or the state of media. what if these people are just extremely weird

So I’m on emails at work for the first time in a while which means for the first time I’m getting emails clearly written by ChatGPT (or something like it). And! I do not hate it.

I seriously doubt they’re the only ones
Okay so what I’m reading here, if this account is to be believed, is that Lizza and Nuzzi are complicit in withholding major dark political actions that have had insane implications for like, everybody. Journalistic malpractice doesn’t even begin to cover it
While there are often some ethical issues with making free PDFs of paywalled content, in this case it seems entirely justifiable, given the author, the subject, and the journalistic imperative to provide the widest possible audience for the verb "Michael Wolffed"

I think this is an underrated source of the extent to which Bluesky is in a false consensus about public AI hatred. If you are a power user on a microblogging site you are basically by definition not going to see the "take the effort out of reading and writing" machine as being useful
I think more than anything else AI feels like a miracle to people with questionable literacy because it can read and write for you, and a lot of us who are highly literate underestimate how many of our society's leaders, esp in business, struggle with literacy.
It's pretty much mandatory at work that I appear to be using it, so I've doe a few functional things with it, and it's a moderate time-saver if used right. But nowhere near worth it's stock value, energy cost.
Then I realize there's a lot of people who simply can't write coherent paragraphs.

this is written in the typical NYT This Is The Last Word On This Story manner to signal to the rest of the press that the story is Over and we're not allowed to complain about how they treated Biden anymore because they have checked their "do one story about this" box
Oh huh it’s wild that the man exercising the powers of the presidency just became old. If only he had been old a year and a half ago when being old was bad.
