I think this post nails the actual problem, for researchers at least—AI hallucinations would simply not be a problem in academic work if we’d not normalized citation-as-signaling rather than actual engagement—you can only cite a fake paper if you’re not in the habit of reading the papers you cite

If you've never seen the Super Eyepatch Wolf video on how Jake Paul stacked his boxing career to create an illusion he can actually fight, I highly recommend it and it makes tonight even more cathartic.

probably, it's just that labour's choice for PM is an authoritarian compulsive liar with the political instincts of a rabid lemming
I seriously wonder whether it is now possible in the UK for any politician to be truly popular or any government to be deemed successful

Imagine being incredibly rich and powerful and still being miserable. All the opportunities you could have to make a positive change in the world. What an absolute waste of a life.

Never forget that Mamdani went into the White House and called Trump a fascist to his face and it made Trump so frightened of him he grinned like a buffoon and played nice through the entire press session.
note to everyone else they're trying to intimidate: telling the administration to fuck off remains the single most effective response
Lol the US just abandoned their effort to get mad at the guy that threw Bolsonaro in prison. Big "my toddler tantrum didn't get me nothing so we're done here" energy.

This court case said one thing very clearly; but what if, and hear me out, it actually said the opposite (we all know they Must have meant to be transphobic right??)

That's right! We should destroy human rights so that Keir Starmer can win* the next general election!

In February this year Keir Starmer nearly halved the UK's aid spending.

The move was praised by US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, who called it a "strong step from an enduring partner".
The number of global deaths of children under-5 is projected to increase this year (from 4.6m to 4.8m) for the first time this century. (FT)

The price of aid cuts.

Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

The thing about Marjorie Taylor Greene doing the “I didn’t think the face-eating leopards would eat ME face” bit is that she very clearly thought she was one of the leopards to begin with.
Marjorie Taylor Greene claims she shared with Trump death threat she received that he incited, and his response was "extremely unkind"

it might seem surprising that the people who said “look, let trans people live their lives, but i have Reasonable Concerns about sports and toilets” aren’t up in arms about this, but what you have to remember is that those people who said that are liars who were lying

It's almost always, by an incredible coincidence, around the same time the person making the claim first became aware that there were transphobes on the ostensible left. Like how all the best music was made when you were a teenager.
It's fascinating how "the transes went too far" is a kind of floating timeline thing, always placed in the relatively recent past. e.g. Helen Lewis here dating the "over-reach" to after Bostock (June 2020). But she was already decrying the "imperial over-reach of... trans activists" in Jan 2019.

Read an article last night and a guy with a MISSING LEG is being kicked off disability benefits and forced to pay back £36000 because he was filmed having fun playing cricket for the disabled league. So you aren't even allowed to be having fun while disabled.
I don't think enough people realize that for many folks on disability they cannot risk having over a VERY low cap of money/property or they will lose their benefits nearly immediately

It often prevents folks from marrying as well it's ludicrous
