Now you know why the media is trashing AI, because journalist like this want to shame anyone that uses it.
Why?
Because he gets paid to write articles and he is all wimpy about some brilliant article written by a neurodivergent using AI.
No one should push shame. No one. •
Ross Barkan@RossBarkan
Keep shaming these people. Using AI for writing assignments is like using a computer to help you play chess in a tournament. Chess players properly shame cheaters.

@AresJust67 @JohnTeufelNYC Retarded take.. and that’s why dems are the loser party who will never improve anything but their own stock portfolios and their grip on power.
English
@KevP62 @JohnTeufelNYC The vast majority of the voting public *is* stupid and would stare at you blankly if you started talking about "ideological differences" between you and the other candidate. You people just take everything "centrists" say literally without any nuance. Just attack mode.
English
One of the weirdest tics of centrism is pretending people don't have actual ideological differences, that everyone is a technocrat who just wants things to "work." I assure you that talking politics with essentially anyone for longer than 1 minute will cure this delusion.
Majority Democrats@MajorityDems
Elissa Slotkin to Bill Maher: “The average person just wants shit to work. I don’t give a shit if you’re a Republican, a Democrat, an Independent—just live in the zone of practicality. And the far right and the far left live in a different universe.”

@M_Cottone @ShearedSheeple @newleftrising @supermarke @kenklippenstein @davidfrum I wasn’t giving you my interpretation of how people use these things, it’s how these tools were designed to be used as products by consumers. Obviously both have the same business end goal of driving user traffic, but their design for consumer usage is distinct.
English
@KevP62 @ShearedSheeple @newleftrising @supermarke @kenklippenstein @davidfrum I think that’s a pretty generous interpretation of how people use google, but I see your point

Senior editor of major media property: “I asked Claude”
David Frum@davidfrum
I asked Claude AI to compare the Hasan Piker audience to the cringe wine moms at MSNOW. "[O]n a normal night, MS NOW's primetime audience of roughly 900,000 is about 25 times larger than Piker's typical concurrent stream of 36,000."
English
@M_Cottone @ShearedSheeple @newleftrising @supermarke @kenklippenstein @davidfrum In no way is that a logical comparison. These “ai tools” are being pushed as legitimate fortune tellers, where you ask it questions and its results are to be trusted. Google is more like a library, where you locate information for your own review and interpretation.
English
@KevP62 @ShearedSheeple @newleftrising @supermarke @kenklippenstein @davidfrum I mean a lot of tools are used for confirmation bias! You don’t think people Google something, pick and choose what they read and then reinforce their beliefs?
English
@M_Cottone @ShearedSheeple @newleftrising @supermarke @kenklippenstein @davidfrum It’s not that the answer from Claude was necessarily wrong, but its a clear example of how these so-called “tools” are just used for confirmation bias. This is a fatal flaw because it undercuts a users ability to think critically & independently, which is by design.
English
@ShearedSheeple @KevP62 @newleftrising @supermarke @kenklippenstein @davidfrum Well what Frum relayed from Claude wasn’t wrong - what was wrong was Frum’s interpretation of that as a full accounting of Hasan’s influence.
English
@M_Cottone @newleftrising @supermarke @kenklippenstein Well that’s an issue too as it shows you cannot trust its outputs, and further illustrates how it cuts down people critical thinking skills.
English
@KevP62 @newleftrising @supermarke @kenklippenstein Got it. Ok that makes more sense as a gripe vs. Claude doing it.
English
@M_Cottone @newleftrising @supermarke @kenklippenstein Not an accurate representation to only count live viewers of a stream (esp only on twitch), his vids/clips regularly get millions of views on multiple different platforms. To say his reach only covers 30k is asinine
English
@newleftrising @supermarke @kenklippenstein Again - I’ll ask - what is the specific gripe? Frum said 30,000 and it looks like the actual number is 37,000-38,000? From stream charts

@poly4972149 @rrandolphjr “Ever sense using ai” 🥴
I promise it isn’t helping you, buddy. It’s just good at making you feel smart because it’s built to kiss your ass
English
AI doesn’t fit anywhere in the writing classroom. First-year students and emerging writers don’t need it, nor is it beneficial for their development, from everything I’ve seen.
Lee Vinsel@STS_News
Everything I've seen suggests that these tools best serve people who are already experts. Doesn't mean you shouldn't use them, or that "cognitive offloading" is inherently bad. Does mean we need to think about where they fit in education and training.
English
@rrandolphjr To be sure, AI has no place in the writing 'classroom' if the objective is to teach sound writing skills. It is interesting to me, however, how poor most people's writing skills are after spending 12 or more years in most education systems.

The overriding fact about the American economy in the past 4 decades is the massive upward redistribution of wealth and income. Therefore opposition to higher taxes on the rich from Govs. Newsom & Hochul is intellectually and empirically indefensible.

@THEBOYLOVEHIVE @austinahlman Something tells me you’re confused a majority of the time
English
@austinahlman Since there’s no context, I’m guessing you’re implying her average dipped closer to the election? We’re talking .7th of a point from peak. When historically polling averages narrow closer to election. And it also doesn’t negate the last minute uptick…so I’m confused on the POINT
English
Love this version of woke liberalism where you can’t admit that Clinton and Harris were fatally flawed candidates for reasons that had nothing to do with their gender, so now we can never have a woman president.
InteractivePolls@IAPolls2022
AXIOS: Some top Democrats are quietly debating a fraught question: whether the party's best bet for winning back the presidency in 2028 is to nominate a man — perhaps a straight, White, Christian man. Former first lady Michelle Obama fueled such talk recently, saying the U.S. is "not ready for a woman." Democratic strategists have put it bluntly, with several saying a version of "It has to be a white guy." axios.com/2026/03/29/som…

@klayhamn__ @arlogilbert @thetomdiego @mattyglesias You post weird ai videos.. your opinion is irrelevant lol. Thanks for weighing in though
English
@KevP62 @arlogilbert @thetomdiego @mattyglesias these are not true allies - since their alignment to the U.S. is out of convenience, not out of identity of values and/or culture.
Israel will not suddenly shift to China or Russia.
Saudi Arabia definitely could - if the pros outweighed the cons.
English
As someone who absolutely fears the left's growing power, I think the smart play is for moderate Dems to go on Piker's show and agree with him that Israel is bad and then stick to their guns on other moderate stuff.
Matt Duss@mattduss
Hasan isn’t driving a wedge into the party, the failed, repeatedly discredited yet unfortunately still entrenched corporate wing of the party is. They fear the left’s growing power and see Hasan as a way to make us argue amongst ourselves. We shouldn’t fall for it.
English
@801formal_llama @RichardHanania @BenBurgis It’s absurd to analogize using LLM’s doing your research work to using spell check. No logical equivalence whatsoever, so therefore it’s a disingenuous comparison to make.
English
@KevP62 @RichardHanania @BenBurgis Why? I don't like McArdle but what's wrong with using LLMs in the way she describes?
English
In a healthier media culture, an admission like this would at the very least get her fired.
Megan McArdle@asymmetricinfo
I use AI to do research (i.e., find things to read, explain parts of academic papers I find ambiguous or confusing), transcribe interviews, generate pushback on my column thesis, suggest trims when I'm over my word count, sharpen podcast interview questions, and perform a final fact check on columns and editorials. But mostly it's compressing the ancillary tasks to the main job: reading, thinking, and writing.
English
@TADStrange89 @musharbash_b @carnitastaco I don’t think you understand what the job of a senator is. It appears you don’t really understand a lot though, so that tracks. I bet you get excited when someone jingles keys in front of you.
English
@KevP62 @musharbash_b @carnitastaco But you actually don't know what you're talking about here, especially with the job of "reading laws and voting" not snap judgment
English
I really don't get this. Mills could easily have retired at the end of her governorship with a fine legacy. Even now, she could withdraw from the race, frame it as "passing the baton," and be remembered fondly for that. Instead, she insists on waging this knock-down, drag-out campaign for yet another office at 78-years-old — and with visibly flagging support to boot. Why? Just why?
Janet Mills@JanetMillsforME
Today, I launched my “Women for Janet” coalition, a growing group of incredible Maine women and leaders who have endorsed me in this race and who I’m proud to fight beside. I have always fought for our freedoms and rights, and I always will.
English
@TADStrange89 @musharbash_b @carnitastaco Damn, you’re even worse off than I thought if you actually believe that. Aside from that, a person in their 80s is in the 4th percentile age demo, not really a fair representation to be making decisions for the rest of us.
English
@KevP62 @musharbash_b @carnitastaco At actual deliberative mental capacity, 80 year olds are not significantly below the average person
Certain memory skills get worse, other judgment skills can increase.
