  • How do people do this without dying of anxiety?

    BTW, that last comment on RetractionWatch was grim:

    I recently saw a presentation by a job candidate (a PhD with many years experience) who used figures that were clearly AI-generated. They weren’t as funny as this example or the giant rat penis, but certainly fictional and unreal. In and of itself, troubling enough. Worse was that my colleagues involved in the interview didn’t care when I pointed it out.

  • OpenAI is losing money on every user and has no moat other than subsidies from VCs, but that's ok because they'll make it up in volume.

  • This guy is badly in need of a wedgie.

  • This was widely regarded as a bad move and made a lot of people very angry

  • Helena Blavatsky and Rudolph Steiner made up much of what went on to constitute esoteric Hilterism ab nihilo.

    Blavatsky, in particular, was a prolific bullshitter in the Frankfurtian sense. She invented the notion of the Aryan master race as a thing that exists in the future, which white europeans should strive to bring into the world.

  • eh, nix is experiencing a chudpocalypse at the moment, which might be why you're catching strays

  • It's my impression that Australia has also produced a disproportionate share of best takes on the subject. How come they are so far ahead of the rest of the world when it comes to dodging this grift?

  • All hail the new flesh! No pets!

  • Nothing changed, they're just mask-off now.

  • Confucius, the Buddha, and Lao Tzu gather around a newly-opened barrel of vinegar.

    Confucius tastes the vinegar and perceives bitterness.

    The Buddha tastes the vinegar and perceives sourness.

    Lao Tzu tastes the vinegar and perceives sweetness, and he says, "Fellas, I don't know what this is but it sure as fuck isn't vinegar. How much did you pay for it?"

  • A Turdburg on a turdberg. Not be a shining city on a hill, but it might have high albedo.

  • Yes, good plan, the ozone layer hole craves more skin cancer sacrifices.
