Writing lecturer @ UCSB. Obviously, my horrific takes are not my institution's responsibility. I teach mostly science communication & introductory writing courses.
Game of Thrones was borderline unwatchable once it started to deviate from the source material, while Stranger Things has been consistently fun across all five seasons. The penultimate episode was a clunker but the finale was maybe my favorite ending to a television show.

LLMs make things that seem transparently good on the surface but contain a not insubstantial number of mistakes. And, because you didn't produce the thing on your own, it becomes more challenging to fix it.

You're conflating "being Republican" with "conservatism" in a disingenuous way. I'm honestly not familiar with Ed Brooke, but his record doesn't seem to be meaningfully conservative.

The evidence right now for him being a Groyper is extremely weak -- we have messages from shell casings (which likely came from Helldivers 2) and a Halloween costume (which likely has nothing to do with Fuentes).

When I become president, you can deputy direct my FBI!

If we have learned anything about politics over the last decade, it's that the president gets blamed for whatever mess that you make. So make lots of messes!

The thing that's annoying about this discussion is that being "woke" is the correct position. You don't win political fights by abandoning your values.

But both can't be true and false.

My neighbor just planted an avocado tree, but it's just a baby. I love them so much I'll probably just eat the extra cost.

I'm still buying avocados! :)
