quirk-washing TREACLES

I can’t wait to be quirk-washed, I’m ready to hang up my pick-me hat and let the new yorker do the work for me

This isn't a vote either way but my pitch for a name is just "Stubsack"

Haha I had that drafted and decided that, in the spirit of the post, I’d write something less good

Despite its title this isn't meant to be the best essay

Oh, thanks for clarifying, that was really hard to figure out. /s

IDK, I think whatever comments the US justice department makes about foreign parties and AI is probably a lot less to do with anything actually pertaining to AI and a lot more to do with US foreign policy aka maintaining the US hegemony

Oh that’s accelerationist drivel if I’ve ever seen it.

Also, this has been bouncing around in my head ever since I’d learned of the term: “e/acc? More like, “Eek! Ack!”

The pro-AI comments here remind me of possibly the worst opinion I’ve heard about fossil fuels, which was that we should burn them all now as fast as possible to develop newer technologies to magically solve all the problems generated from burning all the fossil fuels.

Perhaps not, but maybe "zemblanity", a word I found by searching "serendipity but bad":

Zemblanity is the opposite of serendipity, meaning that it is an unlucky or unwanted, but predictable, event. Although it might be difficult to imagine someone behaving in a manner that could be predicted to cause harm, zemblanity can occur as a result of complex human and organizational factors.

Per ness labs, which the only context I have for it is that it isn't a dictionary.

IQ might be discredited, “g” is valid.

It also has "MBTI is pseudoscience, you should take this online Big 5 quiz instead" energy

In that sense, as with sewer diving, there's a sweet spot of anosmia.

Also: I guess this is a spoiler?

spoilerUpon seeing "Eliza" for the third time, I wondered if it was a reference to "My Fair Lady." Well, it was, once removed.
