“You can win elections by tacking to the middle; lots of people have. But you can also win elections by staking a moral position and convincing people to agree with you. You can earn support by demonstrating what is important to you instead of just being determined to nod along with what you hear.”

You know how billionaires end up with severe cognitive deficits as a result of becoming surrounded by yes men who constantly tell them their every idea is genius? What if we made a bot that just does that to everyone. I think that would be a good idea.

are industry reps using ai to write their advice because hoo boy that's a problem

“Students continue to believe that brainstorming with AI helps them get to good arguments, but I have not seen any proof of that.”

Industry reps tell students (accurately) that they won’t get jobs if they don’t use AI, and no amount of critical thinking instruction will change that. It’s maddening.

I love doing this. I ask a lot of questions and I worked for bosses early in my career who would get annoyed by that. Do you want your employees to know stuff or not??

Powerful move of kindness you can do at work almost every day is when someone junior or outside your department goes “I have a dumb question” and then asks a totally reasonable question, hit em with a “not at all a stupid question” or “actually great question” and then answering it.

I was married but I'm not married any more. Women don't like the vehicle.

Honestly, my own personal ranking of Team of Dudes has gotta go:

1) Kings
2) Bulls

which only seems fitting frankly

It's wild to think that he won Rookie of the Year over Joel Embiid largely because he played a ton more that year than Embiid, but retires only having played in 463 games versus Embiid's 452.

Aw man. I'm sad to hear that, but there's no shame in a pretty dang good - unexpectedly good - NBA career. That guy just worked his ass off.

Just in: After nine NBA seasons, New York Knicks guard Malcolm Brogdon has decided to retire from basketball, he tells ESPN. Brogdon became the 2017 Rookie of the Year and 2023 Sixth Man of the Year after being drafted No. 36 in 2016.
