I am indeed on the look out for new opportunities! If you’re hiring an editor or know someone who is searching for one, I’d be grateful to hear from you. Shoot me a note at: gallagher.brian13@gmail.com

If anyone is looking for a great non-fiction editor, @bsgallagher is your man. He did brilliant work for me improving the draft of The Anxious Generation, and on @EthicalSystems. Highly recommend.

@kevinroose What makes you wonder whether Gary Marcus is a credible source on AI?

calling for a 6-month pause on AI journalism until we can overcome urgent alignment challenges such as "are EA and rationalism the same thing?" and "is Gary Marcus a credible source?"

Gary Marcus
Gary Marcus@GaryMarcus·
Calling for a 6-month pause on AI journalism until we can realize that @kevinroose is not a credible journalist. An independent survey showed that 90%+ of my technical predictions are correct. How is that not credible? Calling on journalists to dismiss me is completely unprofessional.

@TheAnnaGat Not sure either of those things are inherently good. One is arguably inherently bad, as it necessitates believing harmful illusions.

Book reviews by philosophers, notoriously, can be scathing, but a sober review of a book on gender identity by the MIT philosopher (and Academic Freedom Council co-founder) Alex Byrne was deemed too dangerous to print. "The philosophy profession has shown itself to be an institution of fragile integrity when put to the test. One can only hope spines will eventually stiffen, and academic law and order is restored." philosophersmag.com/on-being-rejec…

found a blog with 16,000 subscribers where every post feels AI-written then found a post adamantly denying they use AI… which also reads like AI to me what is happening

@cremieuxrecueil Yeah, one bird told me it doesn’t matter if you’re wearing clothes, still plain as day.

Everyone has stripes known as Blaschko's lines. These are normally not visible and are generally only present if there's an issue, chimerism, etc. But some birds can see them!

I've never listened to a podcast for more than 3 or 4 minutes. I don't have the patience to listen to people ramble on while I wait for them to talk about something I might be interested in. I'm not sure there's ever been a less efficient way to transmit information.

Interesting. There is no evidence that time spent on social media is correlated with adolescent mental health problems: Findings from a meta-analysis. @CJFerguson1111

As someone who worked at Reality Labs: the Metaverse had real legs but was obliterated by middle management completely out of touch with how young people actually use technology. I built a V1 tool that game developers genuinely needed, and the moment it was done, it got shipped to a team in London (to die), and I was reassigned to a "higher-priority project" that zero developers asked for. Multiply that by every team, and you'll understand why this never took off yet cost 80 billion.

JUST IN: Meta announces they'll be shutting down the Metaverse, after pouring $80,000,000,000.00 into the project.
