@AllAone4U @LePapillonBlu2 Do you have a source for that image?

Listen to what this psychologist has to say: "Trump has the most severe personality disorder a human being can have.” “The world is in a hell lot of trouble, because the most powerful man in the world is both evil and demented."

@criccomini The date of the post is interesting.

🪦RIP :(

@SanchezMamacita @aheli_ns @jean_twenge I was just reading an article by somebody in a US school who is almost eliminating chromebooks from the classroom, and bemoaning books that are on machines. What part of the US?

@MikeJGale @aheli_ns @jean_twenge United States.

The dialing back of "every kid gets a Chromebook" has started. Here's hoping it keeps going, and that there's more learning and less distraction. nytimes.com/2026/03/29/tec…

@SanchezMamacita @aheli_ns @jean_twenge Fascinating. Where was that?

@MikeJGale @aheli_ns @jean_twenge The plan was implemented years ago. I worked in a district that got rid of all paper books for “programs”. They turned the library into an open room with tables, kinda like a cafeteria.

@SanchezMamacita @aheli_ns @jean_twenge That's an interesting question. Hadn't occurred to me. Is there a plan to replace textbooks with chromebooks?

@MikeJGale @aheli_ns @jean_twenge And what happens when we replace textbooks with chromebooks?

@jean_twenge I have an idea. A great program, STI. The search for terrestrial intelligence.

Parents have had it. Kindergartners should not be watching YouTube at school. In a few years, we're going to look back at school tablets and laptops and wonder what the heck we were thinking, especially for elementary school students. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/…

@aheli_ns @jean_twenge Ah. I know a lot of people who know how to use computers but never had a chromebook. Thanks for the insight. They're not humans. Come to think of it neither am I, or all those ancient people from BC. Before chromebooks.

@jean_twenge If you take chromebooks away from kids you are depriving them of learning how to use technology.

@GaryRichardson1 @G_S_Bhogal Aha. The theory behind the automatic snowballing misery machine.

@G_S_Bhogal There's a guy probably the richest human on earth ever and he appears to be on here 25 hours a day, eight days a week. Ranting and raving like he owns the place.

The time a person spends on this app is proportional to how unfulfilling their real life is. The heaviest users are often the bitterest. This matters because such people vent their life's frustrations by attacking everything, and in so doing, they make their misery contagious.

@FraserNelson Thought experiment: You can write your own algorithm, control what you see. What do you do? Don't put it off, think now, start your notes. Unless you did that already. Later, if needed, make it happen more and more.

An X algorithm decided that you should see this tweet and be shown this video. Here's how it works...

@Heroiam_Slava A good start is being made. I look forward to a finished job.

@humanpropensity There are other ways to view the videos.

Frankly, it's ridiculous that YouTube doesn't let you opt out of horror/suspense/violent ads. I want to watch LEGO videos with my kids without covering their eyes.

@G_S_Bhogal This medium does not permit. Imagine seeing the stream of consciousness of readers. How many noticed? I suspect most. How many re-read? How many thought "gotta reconsider subscribing to this"? etc.

@simonmaechling How do you filter X? Machine curated feed? Personally curated lists? Custom searches? ...?

X has become emotionally toxic. I’m here for the science. Instead all I see is pseudoscience, rage, and engagement bait. Anyone else feel this?

@JonHaidt Respectfully. 1. Image creation is a tool, runnable at home, that cannot be un-invented. 2. Do we ban, paints, pencils, pen and paper because somebody used them to "undress" a classmate? Not a reason.

The Grok "undress" button scandal is just the latest evidence that social media is wildly inappropriate for minors. Social media is causing chaos and cruelty in children's lives. Teachers see it: UK teachers union calls for a min. age of 16: theguardian.com/media/2026/jan…

@JohnCleese Are the Iranians showing people what to do about the BBC?

The BBC's way of reporting on the protests in Iran is to quote a statement by Khamenei that the protestors are vandals trying to please Trump What on earth are thinking of ? Shameful

@AlboMP What is Albo frightened of?

We’re responding to the Bondi antisemitic terror attack with unity and urgency, not division and delay.

@ValerioCapraro What a great paper. I see people who exhibit behaviour on the of LLM side of your "fault lines", when they emit words. I've seen this from teachers, in my own learning, in politicians, in Journalism, ... I still need to evaluate and grok your "7 lines" better, for my own views.

Major preprint just out! We compare how humans and LLMs form judgments across seven epistemological stages. We highlight seven fault lines, points at which humans and LLMs fundamentally diverge: The Grounding fault: Humans anchor judgment in perceptual, embodied, and social experience, whereas LLMs begin from text alone, reconstructing meaning indirectly from symbols. The Parsing fault: Humans parse situations through integrated perceptual and conceptual processes; LLMs perform mechanical tokenization that yields a structurally convenient but semantically thin representation. The Experience fault: Humans rely on episodic memory, intuitive physics and psychology, and learned concepts; LLMs rely solely on statistical associations encoded in embeddings. The Motivation fault: Human judgment is guided by emotions, goals, values, and evolutionarily shaped motivations; LLMs have no intrinsic preferences, aims, or affective significance. The Causality fault: Humans reason using causal models, counterfactuals, and principled evaluation; LLMs integrate textual context without constructing causal explanations, depending instead on surface correlations. The Metacognitive fault: Humans monitor uncertainty, detect errors, and can suspend judgment; LLMs lack metacognition and must always produce an output, making hallucinations structurally unavoidable. The Value fault: Human judgments reflect identity, morality, and real-world stakes; LLM "judgments" are probabilistic next-token predictions without intrinsic valuation or accountability. Despite these fault lines, humans systematically over-believe LLM outputs, because fluent and confident language produce a credibility bias. We argue that this creates a structural condition, Epistemia: linguistic plausibility substitutes for epistemic evaluation, producing the feeling of knowing without actually knowing. To address Epistemia, we propose three complementary strategies: epistemic evaluation, epistemic governance, and epistemic literacy. Full paper in the first reply. Joint with @Walter4C & @matjazperc

@TimOBrien This is expected and planned. Those who bought it, not having arranged some benefit for what they donated, are not clever.

Any speculator who bought Trump’s memecoin at its peak after it was announced inauguration weekend would have lost almost the entire value of their investment by this month. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
