The state of Alaska has been doing this for years to “comply” with the Feds regarding a huge backlog with public assistance and food stamps so they can turn around and say “look we tried to hire people but it’s like soooo weird because no one applied, honest.”

*Evidence* needs to be a norm.

When I post, I give solid links or references that can be traced to source. Without that you contribute to the instability of our knowledge systems.

Make it straightforward to check your stuff! Readers can't be expected to Sherlock Holmes everything.
I no longer trust anything at all that doesn’t directly link to or come from a reputable source, and my list of reputable sources is shrinking.

I think everyone needs to adopt this. Assume literally everything you see online, literally 100%, is false until proven otherwise.

Not great!!
I am seriously concerned about the growing lack of discernment and critical thinking in regards to the large amounts of content generated by ChatGPT, AI image generators, conspiracy and misinformation websites, as well as AI services offering summaries of books, research, and articles.

I spent all of 2022-24 getting screamed at by centrist and RW Rocket/Space dorks ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If we ever emerge from this dystopia, students will learn about our murder-cartel "health insurance industry" in horror, astonished that a vast system of actuarial slaughter was *legal*. Paragraphs like this will be seen in the vein of Zone of Interest:

I've been asked why I rail quite so hard against crypto, AI & VC nonsense.

@edzitron.com sums it up perfectly.

These people have twisted tech, the industry that I love, which has so much potential for good, into a disgusting, soulless parody of itself.

And all for nothing but a quick buck.
