“As some universities and journals adopt AI-text detectors, they risk creating a feedback loop that constrains how authors express themselves. I have seen colleagues intentionally simplify their grammar or break down complex rhetorical structures to avoid arousing algorithmic suspicion.”
Why artificial intelligence detectors could penalize academic writing - Nature Human Behaviour

2/3 The use of either word in this context demonstrates a wilful ignorance of humanity’s past. Racist thinkers imagine that each race/culture is like a shoot that has grown from its own individual bulb.

The case…provides an illuminating example of how people who regard themselves as enlightened politicians, and even as free thinkers or radicals, drift with the tide, helpless and without convictions, flabby and powerless.

Musk and plenty of SV heavies, people from the NYT, wife of the EIC at CBS News, the owner of The Atlantic, and lots of individuals platformed in the press as great thinkers and altruistic tech leaders ended up in the Epstein Files! Curious!
Instead of "the left isn't paying enough attention to these machine gods" they're claiming to build, perhaps we should write an article about how effective altruists brand themselves "left", ask who is writing these articles, and trace their cults and sources of funding.

You would think that smart and serious thinkers would be wise to this game, after republicans spent decades making trans rights, gun violence, the environment, vaccines etc into issues "too divisive" to disagree with them about
the problem with giving in on things that don't poll well is that as soon as the right wins on the the things that don't poll well, they move on and start lying about more popular things to manipulate public opinion, starting the cycle again.
Kevin Roberts, President of The Heritage Foundation, claims that evidence suggests a correlation between undergoing Trans Medical Care and acts of violence.
He states Heritage's public policy solution is to ban it for all ages and they're willing to work towards this goal on an incremental basis.

You can absolutely scold voters into being better, but I agree that voters follow their own logic. What I am arguing against is supposedly sophisticated political thinkers doing apologia for sitting the election out. There's no excuse for that.

FYI, Frederick Douglass predicted Trump back in 1867.
"there is a good reason why we should do away with the pardoning power in the hands of the President, that is that our government may at some time be in the hands of a bad man."
