Fucking hell. Not the most important part of the story, but his elaborate lies about being Jewish are very very weird. Kind of like white Americans pretending that they're Cherokee I guess?

That Michael Kove guy is one un-self-aware twat. Apparently all millennials work in high paying tech jobs.

I do indeed. A bucket always seemed like pretty poor.protection from the end of the world, even if it was full of purified water and high protein MREs and whatever else. I suppose you could put it on your head and make like Ned Kelly

I think they're claiming that they are aware of the potential issues in how knowledge is produced (bias, unconscious or not)....but they think that they are uniquely humble and aware of all the issues, they certainly aren't influenced by ideology, and they aren't susceptible to the same logical fallacies as everyone else.

Okay, one more pic, the back cover. Can't say how reliable these sources are.

A terrifying poster, spotted in the window of a tattoo shop in Dublin:

How is Hanania the "ex" Nazi a credible source on this at all? For fucks sake!

It's term time again and I'm back in college. One professor has laid out his AI policy: you should not use an AI (presumably Chat GPT) to write your assignment, but you can use an AI to proofread your assignment. This must be mentioned in the acknowledgements. He said in class that in his experience AI does not produce good results and that when asked to write about his particular field it produces work with a lot of mistakes.

Me, I'm just wondering how you can tell the difference between material generated by AI then edited by a human, and material written by a human then edited by an AI.

I am very sure that the only reason they talk about positive eugenics is because negative eugenics, literally forcing some people to not have kids, is taboo. Then again they are pretty stupid and arrogant so maybe they really believe they're breeding superbabies....

They seem to believe that stereotypes often have a grain of truth to them, and it's thus ok to believe stereotypes.

I wonder where the superforecasters stand on aella being outed as a ghislain maxwell type fixer for the tescreal high priesthood.

Can you be outed when everyone knows that's what you are already?
