@walterkirn @Jon_8675309 Walter your comment there is not the voice of an essayist or serious thinker

@Jon_8675309 Maybe it's you who's not interesting.

What a boring piece of footage, right?

@Gnaritas_98 @walterkirn He’s Twitter poisoned. You start as a serious novelist and then you’re in Twitter thinking you’ll just participate in the discourse, but before long you’re dropping inane takes because that’s what the algorithm rewards. It reduces people to the mentality of 12 year old girls.

If they tell us superior alien beings have possessed the LLMs and we must listen, everything I own that uses a battery or plugs into the wall goes in the trash.

@walterkirn I just think you are not honoring your talent. All the tweeting and podcasting and peacocking online with vague, coy “predictions” is such a waste. I think you feel you have to podcast and tweet a lot to stay relevant/noticed but I think you could give so much more to posterity

This week in haters: I'm hiding advanced Parkinson's. I went insane when America This Week ended. I'm wasted drunk. I'm paid by Israel. I'm a CIA agent licensed to leak secret scripts of future events. Fun platform.

@walterkirn WHY ARE YOU CONSTANTLY ON TWITTER AND URGING OTHERS TO BE RADICAL??? You are basing your whole current career on being prominent in the very forum that is making people dumb and intellectually lazy It is not dignified to be on Twitter this much if you claim you are serious

Forget "politics." Cultivating literacy --independent literacy, the ability to read and think and write and do it all in your own head and with your own two hands, so to speak -- is the great radical act now. Be a radical.

@walterkirn @JeffCatalfino @kensiderations Or maybe he likes “guidance.” Edicts is a very loaded word.

@JeffCatalfino @kensiderations Which shows he likes edicts. Because they modify behavior in ways he likes and don't have to represent true findings.

Over-specificity in edicts is one way you know they're made up. That they are indeed edicts, not findings. "Fifteen days to slow the spread." Stand "6 feet" apart.

@gmiller Imagine telling people Geoffrey Miller was your Ph.D. supervisor and getting in reply “the Primal Poly guy? The ‘fatties need not apply’ prof?

Followers: note that I've changed my X handle from @gmiller to @gmiller It's cleaner.

@JonathanTurley A similar thing happened when I asked ChatGPT about Xeni Jardin

You can be defamed by AI and these companies merely shrug that they try to be accurate. In the meantime, their false accounts metastasize across the Internet...jonathanturley.org/2023/04/06/def…

@mrobertsonsf Sure! Loved the article.

@jayder Oops inverted the numbers. Thanks for catching.

@mrobertsonsf I think the date of Gerald Gaxiola attending CalArts is wrong in your @sfgate article. It should be 1969.

@LynNever What a precious pooch. I’m so sorry. I’m glad he has had a loving home

@robrousseau Legal fees are "piling up" on a misdemeanor battery case? That's like saying medical bills are "piling up" when someone scraped their elbow.

how the fuck is throwing chocolate milk on someone an arrestable offence? republicans are such goddamn crybabies

@BretEastonEllis Here's a guest suggestion for your podcast: Amanda Filipacchi, an amazing novelist @AFilipacchi

@jrossi4r So true. Me too. And I love that.

@BretEastonEllis I like what you said in the interview about well-written books that are lifeless, and imperfectly written books with life.

@Sbeneli DocScan. There's a free version, but to sync it with DropBox it's $2.99. Works really well.

@Sbeneli they look like best buds

@BretEastonEllis I like the long prefaces. "The first part of the interview was conducted in a neat, well-lit study overlooking ...."

@gucky my girlfriend is on pinterest all the time. Trust me it's an addiction.

I had a canine visitor at the office today.
