Do you reckon Isaac Chotiner knows his cult status?

I gotta be honest, reading this thread is not as absurd as I expected. It's mostly basically reasonable - not sophisticated, a lot of it is vague and superficial, they don't really draw good conclusions based on any background knowledge - but it's not crazy or irrelevant bsky.app/profile/shar...

I'm hardly the no 1 LLM enthusiast, but that's just not true though? It's a common observation brainstorming and idea generation work well when you have some kind of sounding board. Usually one uses someone else but this seems exactly something an LLM *could* reasonably do bsky.app/profile/jill...

The opening paragraphs - it's like, I don't know, Shakespeare, or Beethoven. You know it's great. Everyone knows it's great. But then you encounter it directly, in its own context, and you can only say, man this is so great.

German Israel support comes from very divergent sources in West German geopolitics and in the new left. Yet they have come together in a new German national ideology that sees solidarity with Israel as a cornerstone in the moral cleansing of the nation. lefteast.org/the-new-germ...

In my life I've seen treatments for AIDs developed, vaccines for Ebola and malaria, and now this. Medical science is one is the areas that still consistently seems to make these miraculous advances and I'm genuinely grateful to everyone involved. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It’s worth noting that all of the MPs and lobby journos who repeatedly told the public that there were no shenanigans; that it was all legit and above board, and that anyone who said there was anything fishy going on was hate-crazed and insane: all of those people knew it was true at the time.

"Cradle" Catholics are funny because they act like doing something without conviction is somehow more respectable, rather than less

Today is #HobbitDay because both Bilbo and Frodo Baggins were born on September 22nd. Normally we'd shire a hobbit pun or two but it might just feel like a tolkien gesture and we don't want to embarrass our elves. Anyway come and boromir #Tolkien books.

'Emerging' nations around the world are working to uphold International Law and defend their precious, fragile democratic systems (however flawed, often due to US meddling), meanwhile the 'Shining City on a Hill' is splasing like a Magikarp because its entire political class are Unserious People.

I had a real bibliophile's nightmare this morning: dreamt that the floor of my new apartment collapsed under the weight of my books as I've been shelving them

Ik ben Antifa, ik ben terrorist. Ik strijd tegen types als Charlie Kirk met alles wat ik heb. Als ik daarvoor de gevangenis inga, zal het me een grote eer zijn. Als ik door Dilan Liegelgöz als terrorist word beschouwd, zal ik daar trots op zijn.

I have taught high school thru so many terrible brain-melting internet moments. I believe this has aged me worse than Long Covid. From Kony to Kanye 2020 to The Dress to Harambe & everything in between. What a long, strange trip it’s been.

I don't think I need to clarify my stance on the topic but these soccer folks summed it up

The ratio of goofy to serious posts is definitely a lot higher than it was (although this is even more true on FB, where I've almost entirely stopped arguing stuff). In terms of topics I think it's pretty much the same though bsky.app/profile/ceep...

Blue iguana climbs back from the brink. Grand Cayman’s blue iguana, once down to fewer than 25 individuals, now numbers more than 1,000 in the wild. Captive breeding, habitat restoration and community engagement reversed what was nearly a Caribbean extinction. CNN buff.ly/GKiJpcz #ShareGoodNewsToo

You know how in a late stage of an RPG, you click on some city NPC and he'll say something like "go away adventurer, your clothes are absolutely dreadful", and meanwhile you're wearing the Wings of the Angel +5 unique armor set?

It's curious to think that sometime in the not too distant future we'll get some conclusive evidence of biomarkers outside Earth. It'll hit the headlines, and astronomers will be excited, and people will make jokes about it. And then the headlines will change again and Earth goes on as before.
