I love it when scientists have cute little clapbacks

None of the examples in this article are “restarting the world’s idea machine.” They are AI tools helping scientists automate rote or routine tasks.

Wow, why didn't anyone think of this before
December 16, 2025 at 1:28 AM
No you can't. Telling a computer to paint something for you is not remotely the same as painting something yourself, what is wrong with these people

This is embarrassing.

I’m so fascinated by how no one even tries to say it wouldn’t save thousands of lives. Policies that do this are good!
December 15, 2025 at 3:19 AM
Why would you assume this
December 14, 2025 at 1:04 AM
So if we really want to save lives we should install a mandatory minimum speed for cars rather than a maximum, got it.
December 14, 2025 at 12:50 AM
“Insane overtaking” is the exact behavior this policy seeks to prevent!
December 14, 2025 at 12:29 AM
Nope! You will have to drive slower so that people do not die. This is the reason the policy is unpopular.
December 14, 2025 at 12:08 AM
It is not a "surveillance state" for your car to know that the speed limit is 25 miles per hour.

Shoot, turns out the only way to stick it to Trump is for 40,000 people to keep dying every year

Really not trying to dunk on this person, but I just don't think invoking power dynamics works here. RFK had no power over Nuzzi.

She was a star national politics reporter and had the power to shape his public image and help install him in office. This is a story of her abusing power, not him.

They’re back lol

Nuzzi is straightforwardly lying here. Her book does not say a single word about RFK's career in public life. She has explicitly refused to discuss his record at HHS.
December 13, 2025 at 5:52 AM
First of all it's not a text, so definitionally it's not a sext. It's also not particularly sexual, she's expressing love here. Personally I think it's fine to include specific examples as evidence. Was he just supposed to say "a love note" here rather than quoting it?
December 12, 2025 at 11:31 PM
OP for the curious. Do not go harass this person!
December 12, 2025 at 7:40 PM
Nuzzi wrote an article in Sept 2024 glazing Trump as her lover was negotiating for a role in his administration. According not only to Lizza but Nuzzi herself, she was helping RFK with these negotiations!

Nothing precludes you from believing that all workers should get fair wages and a generous social safety net and also that gutter racism toward a customer should get you fired.

I swear to god they are making up this author to make leftists look stupid.
December 12, 2025 at 5:44 PM
As usual with this magazine, the author concedes throughout that the point he's making is dumb as hell.

This is such a psychotic thing to write about Trump in September of 2024
