so the short answer is the model most likely made the numbers up

Right crime, wrong perp. The Google overview "correctly" sourced the IQ scores from one of Arthur Jensen's "studies" where he reports the IQ of every country in the world and fully makes up numbers for over a third of them

(Rationally) "If there's grass on the field play ball"

Just guys like that and guys like this

Musk's twitter is unleashin/g/ the worst posters that the CS world has to offer

Actually I was wrong, the guy is gay and married. But he IS a trumper, so I probably got mixed up.

Does the (straight) CEO not realize how easy it is to get laid off Grindr? It's an Ok Cupid-style grid, and there's a profile flag you can set that literally says "yes please, send me NSFW pics". You can literally send you hole/pole to everyone who would want to see it in a 3 mile radius

The way he admitted it was hilarious too

That's amazing. Do you think they crtl-f'd the name changes or ChatGPT'd them?

I wanted to see how much lactose was in Monterey Jack, and this was the very first result on bing for:

monterey jack lactose per 10 grams

https://thekitchencommunity.org/the-nutritional-profile-of-monterey-jack-cheese/

It's absolutely over. This is why every other search I make has "site:reddit.com" attached to it.

And no, the site didn't tell me how much lactose there was per gram

I think they've been pretty sane AI-wise, lately.

There is an übermensch and there is an untermensch.

The übermensch are masculine males, the bodybuilders I follow that are only active in the gym and on the feed; the untermensh are women and low-T men, like my bluepilled Eastern European coworker whose perfectly fine with non-white immigration into my country.

The übermensch also includes anybody whose made a multi-paragraph post on 4chan with no more than one line break between each paragraph. It also includes people at least and at most as autistic as I am.

I'm not sure if this is esoteric or just clasically insane

This is barely on topic, but I've found a spambot in the wild. I know they're a dime a dozen, but I wanted to take a deep dive.

https://www.reddit.com/user/ChiaPlotting/

It blew its load advertising a resume generator or something bullshit across hundreds of subs. Here's an example post. The account had a decent amount of karma, that stood out to me. I'm pretty old school, so I thought someone just sold their account. Right? Wrong. All the posts are ChatGPT generated! Read in sequence, all the karma farm posts are very clearly AI generated, but individually they're enticing enough that they get a decent amount of engagement: "How I eliminated my dent with the snowball method", "What do you guys think of recent Canadian immigration 🤨" both paraphrased.

This guy isn't anonymous, and he seemingly isn't profiting off the script that he's hawking. His reddit account leads to his github leads to his LinkedIn which mentions his recent graduation and his status as the co-founder of some blockchain bullshit. I have no interest in canceling or doxxing him, I just wanted to know what type of person would create this kind of junk.

The generator in question, that this man may have unknowingly destroyed his reddit account to advertise, is under the MIT license. It makes you wonder WHY he went to all this trouble.

I want to clone his repo and sniff around for data theft; the repo is 100% percent python, so unless he owns any of the modules being imported the chance of code obfuscation is low. But after seeing his LinkedIn I don't think this guy's trying to spread malware; I think he took a big, low fiber shit aaaaalll over reddit as an earnest attempt at a resume builder.

Personally, I find that so much stranger than malice. 🤷‍♂️

I REALLY don't wanna rank rapes, but isn't frat rape an archetypal rape? It's unambiguously terrible to the point that the only defense the perpetrators can mount is that it didn't happen. This is like decrying the expansion of murder to include defenstration along side the more traditional bludgeoning and stabbing.

Tim defended neither of these, only engaging in a conversation with someone who had, noting that in globally diverse communities that the required narrative may be more complex than oppressor-oppressed by simple binary color of skin.

I too believe in race science, but only a teeny weeny bit

That's because the HN poster I quoted, like many many MANY people, has conflated predicting iq based off of genes with heritabilty. I'd recommend reading the linked substack, the author's much more succient and knowledgeable than I am, and I wouldn't want to misrepresent his point

In particular, two semantic tricks are used. First, the fact that current genetic markers aren't a good prediction for IQ heritability is used as an argument against it. The other likely explanation that our understanding of those markers is widely incomplete is not explored.

Unlike our understanding of IQ, the game of matching shapes where the loser gets a teen pregnancy. That's been fully explored.
