Is it to keep him awake perhaps

The people buy their intelligence with money they made from their jobs that…do not require intelligence, I guess.

There something about that that does not seek like it’s gonna work. 🙄

Grammarly Is Facing a Class Action Lawsuit Over Its AI ‘Expert Review’ Feature The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academics—without their consent.

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.

State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.

I wonder if the Neanderthals got shit from their parents for painting caves instead of hunting and gathering

For those keeping score at home:

I informed Grammarly via email precisely what I thought of their appropriation of my name and reputation and received an email from their head of litigation promising a full response by the end of the week.

Prof Grygiel seems confused about supply v demand. No one would order this stuff if their coffeehouse didn’t put it on the menu.

My husband has become Heat Pump Solar Guy; he does a dance around the living room when he gets the bill every month. He also is never happier than when he is dressed head-to-toe Costco. It’s a kind of reverse adolescence.

I think one case might be Shafir Simonson and Tversky on reason-based choice (Cognition 1993) but I will check

I will find it, although the data I myself collected was obama v mccain and never published. That’s how dang old I am.

Yes and also just lacks that inclination to be skeptical of the intent of whoever is asking. Human conversation is about motivations and subtext and AI lacks subtext. I think!

Paper I am thinking about compares hypothetical custody decisions w 1 parent has both strong reasons for and against custody, while the other is meh. The respondent is asked why judge should approve or disapprove custody; there is a clear interaction. Extreme parent wins only win the frame matches.

Roughly yes. But ChatGPT seems to be chronically inclined to framing effects (it always wants to accept your premise if it possibly can).

I am retired and logey does this sound right to you? I will dig up a reference if I can

There is a whole lit in my field about differences between “reasons to accept” and “reasons to reject,” and ChatGPT’s utter inability to replicate such human judgmental biases is deeply disturbing

I am gonna tell my kids you said this :)

Trump’s War on Iran Could Screw Over US Farmers The Middle East supplies a huge amount of the world’s fertilizer. Conflict in the region has sent prices soaring ahead of the critical spring planting season.

there's a lot going on right now but did you know a massive amount of the world's fertilizer flows through the middle east, and did you know that that fertilizer needs to be shipped to the us *right now* for planting season, and uh did you know we are at war with iran

Yes I come early to help (but ask first). This is the Midwestern Way (Michigan, Indiana).

In March??

Markwayne Mullin Lured From Senate Seat With Promises of Rides In Bitchin’ Jet Plane And Unlimited Chances To Punch Brown People

I got stuck at “walking down the street without their legs.”

Also: Soleimani????

He demanded that she send him nude pictures and bullied her into a relationship. This is called sexual harassment. It was not “an affair”. RESIGN NOW.

One Methodist minister, one farmer.

Not rugged myself.

My worry would be that it cant replicate but it certainly can CLAIM to.

I DELETED THE STARBUCKS APP #DeleteTheApp to show Starbucks that you stand with baristas, not billion-dollar companies.

When people come together to fight injustice, we can make real impacts.

Deleting the Starbucks app off your phone & getting 5 friends to do the same until baristas win a fair contract is one way you can directly help move the needle towards a better future for working people!

Agreed about fewer fucks, but equality is hard to experience when women become old enough to be invisible (but men do not). But as I am now older than dirt perhaps I am ahead of you on this. Keep shouting, though :)

A colleague I know had Dan Ariely, now embroiled in his own Epstein Scandal, as a student some point.

I maintain this means he has an Epstein Number of 2. Is this correct?

#EpsteinNumber

You would prefer that, having made the first mistake, they would just give up

I dunno dude: I’d hope that if my university got it wrong they would still be willing to complain about violations of student civil rights. But maybe that’s just me.

Unsurprisingly I agree!
