Upside down, by the ankles, and then treat him like a piñata.
there is an extremely funny example I recently came across of a paper on my health condition, with a lengthy comment below from one of the top researchers on it explaining that the researchers who wrote the paper do not seem to have actually studied said health condition.
I've read a lot of things in which researchers misunderstand and misrepresent key concepts, and I don't want to introduce garbage into my work.
that's a weird way to science, because I almost exclusively look for papers written by or cited by certain people whom I know to be experts on a thing. the "who" matters a lot.
It’s easy (more easy than accurate) to dismiss academic critics of generative AI as uninformed or emotive, which is often anyway code for “moralizing.” But it’s remarkable how much gen AI boosterism requires feigning ignorance that theft and impersonation are widely seen as wrong, for good reasons.
I simply refuse to believe there are not fatwas against this (asking an LLM what you can wear for iftar)
a hadith! anything!
Lots of folks asking how to join the class. My lawyers' emails and contact-form here. As well as the complaint if you want to take a look.

Oh baby get that LAWSUIT
Keep it up

“Leaders of the Target boycott” dawg there were no leaders. Everyone just came to a consensus to not shop there.
oh, now you're quoting me? am I supposed to be scared of all 59 of your followers coming for me at once?
also, this is *social* media. everything has an audience! if you want it to be just between the two of you, use DMs.
unless you write things in a private journal you are writing for an audience, champ. even a love letter has an audience. you don't know that because you don't read.
the erosion of any notion of practice or craft or expertise or learning from other people being necessary and good is destroying the world, and it is light punishment to mock you for it. you deserve much worse.
imagine complaining because an account with more than a thousand followers came to mock you, an account with 59 followers. how do you think I got more than 59 followers? not by saying goofy shit like "writers don't have to read." if you read more, maybe people will follow you, too.
oh this is going to be the most defensive angry bullshit ever, I can't wait for a disastrous publicity tour
We Did(n’t) It!
yeah, that's right, delete that. see, when you actually read, you a) have better ideas, and b) learn how to self-edit your goofiest ideas before you say them out loud to an audience of people and get mocked for it. because you develop a sense of quality.
the person asserting you can be a writer without being a reader is complaining. . . because people actually want to read the things I write, but not the things they write.
if you are a writer who doesn't read, who exactly are you writing for? what kind of nonsense is this?
"I make music but I don't listen to music" is just a bonkers thing to say.

WHAT SIZE SHOES DO YOU WEAR?
when you say "showing up for racial justice", what are you showing up to do exactly?
you just wrecked everything you say you stand for over *this* guy? even if you subsequently withdraw your endorsement, everybody knows you thought this was a good idea.
The president genuinely doesn't know much about most things but the times you can be sure he does, in fact, know about something is when he says "I don't know anything about that."
this feels silly to say given the context for it but: huge news
and as a warning to the others.
Yes I’d like to see them be held to some accountability as in having their business destroyed by lawsuits.
I have never met anyone who is more adept at tracking every last cent they have than people who live or have lived in poverty
it is a skill developed out of necessity and it never leaves you
