Pressed on this, Gemini also recanted. It's not a standard English expression, it admitted, but it is a useful metaphor.

So now I've got one LLM gaslighting me rather than snitching on another LLM for making shit up.

And that's the point of this thread:

Yeah, no.

I'm just going to sit back with some Laura Secord chocolates and say "that's not gonna happen", again. We've fought what, five? wars so far?

This chart (which applies even more to social media than it did to TV) lives in my head rent free.

Social media enveloping traditional media means everything and everyone is now competing in the entertainment market. Boring stuff like policy that affects millions of lives doesn’t stand a chance.

I'm guessing the P tape involves a younger Putin, back in 1987. Or maybe earlier, but not later.

Highly likely that Trump was a USSR puppet.

Not elite. Pretty common when I was a teen back in the 70s-80s.

I guess guys don't experience the same thing?

I wasn't into old men. I was more agriculturally oriented, even back then.... ahem. Ag, pharma, industrial strategy, global trade - egads I haven't changed! 🤣

What I saw when I was young was a lot of young (15-17 yr olds) hooking for money. Allowances aren't enough, so they'd hook up with some old guy for a 20 minute "modeling gig" that paid $50. She'd "model" nude for photos or art or whatever.

"Attraction" was true, but not to the guy. It was 1970s🤷

OMG, that's funny! Is there a link to Andy hiding in the curtains? 😆

IDU gonna IDU 🤷

In the end, we no longer operate in a marketplace of ideas.
Platforms run a marketplace of feeling, where attention, not evidence, decides what rises. Emotional charge beats truth every time. Politics adapts to that logic, producing hollow performances instead of functional decisions.

Alaska should join 🇨🇦
Then they can have CBC. 👍

So, shiny yellow objects.... 🙄

Good to know.

Are they still doing that?
My kid knew how to read before GR1 and "unlearned" in the first month. I figured out the problem, told her to ignore what the teacher said, and talked to the teacher. They called it "whole language", and it worked for criminals.
"My kid's not an adult criminal, duh"
