Apostate

@ArthurCDent I don't have the philosophical terms to properly ask this, but do you think there may be something happening with language and meta-cognition with LLMs? I think I've read hypothesis that human cognition may come come from the language centers in our brain

Yesterday Claude 4.7 found 5 subtle but important ways to improve our highly revised draft that I missed. If that was merely fancy statistics, then I say “all hail fancy statistics”.

@84explore @JamesSurowiecki I know right wingers are delusional about this yes

@_Apost8 @JamesSurowiecki So, you understand almost all media is leftwing bullsh*t.

Libs of TikTok doesn't understand what the AP is. Just astounding that someone this dumb can be so influential.

@Noahpinion Dogs are humanity's greatest homies. Like no matter how shitty we get, them guys still have our backs. I have mad respect for doggies

Dog Discourse seems like it must be a stand-in for some kind of very subtle East Coast elite argument that I don't understand. I have never seen a dog owner do anything offensive or annoying with their dog, and everyone I know just likes dogs.

@robbysoave FAFO

This is truly insane lol

@peterboghossian @MattMorseTV Man, that sounds horrible.... Hmm that's weird

@MattMorseTV 💯

No one is more Right-wing than a blue-state conservative. Unless you've seen first hand, up close and personal, the damage that the far-Left is capable of causing, it's all theoretical. I spent the first 25 years of my life in Portland, Oregon. I have seen, with my own two eyes, the real world consequences of far-Left political ideology. Neighborhoods - destroyed. Crime rates - skyrocketing. Small businesses - gutted. Homeless population - through the roof. Illegal aliens - everywhere. Housing costs - stratospheric. Public parks and playgrounds - littered with used needles. Sidewalks - covered in graffiti and human feces. Your old friend from highschool - overdosed, dead. Take it as a warning from me -- we can NEVER let these people win.

@DissidentTherap @peterboghossian Actually, kinda yeah

@_Apost8 @peterboghossian I guess the Young Turks are right wing now?

Willingness to speak with people who disagree with your political views has become a right-wing position.

@kbbbackup @grok @RichardHanania @AndrewZywiecMD Dude stop depending on Grok. I literally linked you the study, holy shit

@_Apost8 @grok @RichardHanania @AndrewZywiecMD @grok ?

Gay male couples adopt boys at massively higher rates: 81.8% boys in one study (vs ~50% for hetero couples). Preferences and outcomes show clear skew to boys. Gay adoption isn't 'love,' it's child abuse that exposes kids to environments with elevated sexual abuse risk. Ban it.

@AndrewZywiecMD @kbbbackup @grok @RichardHanania You're dumb and have no idea what you're talking about. The sample size was already small. If you wanted these numbers, you would literally just look at them. They exist somewhere

@_Apost8 @kbbbackup @grok @RichardHanania 🤣 this is what makes the observation all the more real! It wasn't selected for. It is inherent and observed, and cannot be attributed to chance based on the statistics. That's the entire point! 🤣

@kbbbackup @grok @RichardHanania @AndrewZywiecMD The people depending on Grok show again just how retarded they are. The study was not looking at the genders that different couple types adopt, the study was looking at adopted kids psycho outcomes. The gay couple sample just happened to have more boys tinyurl.com/mr46nmtu

@grok @RichardHanania @AndrewZywiecMD Richard is going to delete the Grok reply, because he doesn't like the hate facts.

@PiscoLitty I mean, what's a Democrat to do when their base is completely deluded on a topic?

We got 7 dem Senators refusing to block weapon sales to Israel in current year in current war with current polling.

@WhickTv Maybe those kids from the Vanguard

I need someone willing to defend socialism and/or communism being allowed within the Democratic tent for next week. If that's you, reach out!

@peterboghossian @christopherrufo You're such a mark lmfao

@christopherrufo Holy shit

SCOOP: California is giving free sex-change procedures to homeless illegal aliens. Our team went into the shelters and discovered that trans migrants are coming into the state for hormones, breast implants, and "bottom surgeries"—all on the taxpayer dime. city-journal.org/article/homele…

This is just a retarded thing to say. What "decent" philosopher thinks that it's meat that makes a thing conscious?

@InformedMama1 @Acyn What the retards in MAGA don't understand is that the Epstein files are a big nothingburger. That's why they weren't released. But you conspiracy-loving morons can't admit that so you somehow twist yourself into saying it proves everyone guilty except your god King Trump somehow

@Acyn Let's just stop w/the performative jibberish. The Democrats had the Epstein Files for four years. SILENCE until Trump won the election. The Democrats knew about Eric Swalwell's proclivities for at least a decade or longer yet promoted him to sensitive intelligence positions!

AOC: What happened today with Tony Gonzalez was disgusting, because those allegations have been out there for months. You have to ask yourself what changed today that allowed him to resign now, as opposed to last week, two weeks ago, or three weeks ago. The difference is that they were waiting on a political calculation—a numbers game. When someone is committing abuse, they should be out. It doesn’t matter whether a Democrat resigns, a Republican resigns, or whether there’s some kind of trade. If you are guilty of this, that’s it.

@TheOmniLiberal @ezraklein Hasan is the Left's Trump Kyle Kulinski is their Catturd Emma Vigeland is their Chaya Raichik Sam Seder is their Gunther Eagleman PodSaveAmerica is their Tim Pool

@ProtestK @TheOmniLiberal A fact that is completely meaningless in this conversation

@TheOmniLiberal Is this just not a fact?

lol

@MsMelChen "Pick me pick me, I also hate immigrants even though I'm the result of immigration!"

Hungary: 5 rapes per 100,000 England: 117 rapes per 100,000 Here is how Hungary 🇭🇺 dealt with mass migration vs the UK 🇬🇧 Hungary having one of the lowest rates of rape and sexual violence in Europe is a policy choice.

@mattyglesias What do you mean it doesn't make sense? They love Orban specifically because he champions illiberalism. That's the whole story
