I told one of my college professors I'd been having issues with some software I had to learn to use for another class, and he said "can I give you a tip? try using chat-gpt to explain how to use it" and without thinking I said "why would I use chat-gpt? It's rubbish" and his face fell. Sorry, Prof, I know you were trying to help.

This was after he'd said to the class that he knew we would all be using chat-gpt for assignments.

I'm not shocked.

He didn't mean it as a compliment!

Fuck it, throw some more junk into orbit, why not

Where's the guy who said AI use is a form of austerity

Serves indefinitely? Not even 8 or 16 year terms but indefinitely?? Surely the US supreme court is proof of why this is a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad idea

"democracy, but if it wasn't a democracy"

Eurgh!

The story goes that Robert Louis Stevenson wrote the second draft of "Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde" in less than a week while buzzing on cocaine. The Rationalists just write obnoxious blog posts.

Apparently newspapers are starting to get rid of mugshot galleries, so he might be lucky.

The combination of these two things is jarring because heroin is a Big Kid drug, not a prestige drug, and how, of course, could a neuroscientist smoke heroin?

Unlike this guy, I have no problem understanding that smart people sometimes like to do stupid things. There are a lot of doctors who smoke. This is not because they know tobacco is secretly good for you.

I can only assume the vibes were rancid
