@renaissancepe20 @DerekPederson3 Notice how this article decides to limit the scope from the outset to "child sex crimes." But this is a story that potentially involves teen sex trafficking, trafficking of young women and corruption by public officials.

Here's non paywall version. Basically they point out that the investigation focused narrowly on Epstein did in Florida during a certain timeframe. In the emails you can see him procuring women for other people but it was never investigated because it fell outside of that focus. archive.is/3Cl6b

@Zachariahskylab @mtracey Where to begin? Bret is basically like a cult leader, selling his listeners on deranged conspiracy theories and telling them to take various crank medical treatments.

@mtracey Is there a specific statement Brett has made on his podcast that you think he needs to correct?

I guess you’ll have to judge for yourself if my behavior was “despicable,” and makes me a “bad person” -- apparently that is Bret’s take After last night’s panel, I serenaded the crowd with a quick rendition of Sinatra’s “My Way,” so I’m doing all I possibly can to entertain

@thedarkhorsepod Timestamp 2:16:00 Pretty despicable behavior from @mtracey, I must say

One LLM-ism that I think is probably good is the thing where there's a kind of "nested take" inside another sentence. "It's less '[insert detailed, sentence-length description of what it's not like]' and more [...]." This ends up being fairly effective on a practical basis to quickly convey details in casual language.

“The single strongest personality predictor [of conspiracy thinking] is narcissism. Narcissists are particularly prone to conspiracy theories because they have a strong need for uniqueness, are prone to paranoia, and can also be remarkably gullible.” stevestewartwilliams.com/p/12-things-ev…

That's true but there are also a lot of cases where you will just hit a wall since AI lacks some basic capability of humans, such as higher-level decision making or tasks that require extensive tacit knowledge. And when you look at why AI hasn't had as big an impact on the economy as some predicted, this capabilities gap largely explains why IMO.

@_everythingism Maybe. But that would be first-order thinking. An AI/machine could take over things that a human does without necessarily emulating/mimicking human ways of doing things. It would require more process re-engineering, of course, but that's not much of an obstacle.

The notion that AI must learn and perform tasks the same way humans do to earn the title “AGI” is ugly anthropocentrism. The frontier models, at their best, have been “intelligent” in a “general” way for sometime now. That they do this differently from humans is inevitable.

@hasanthehun @mattyglesias During the first term Trump was much more hawkish on China and it was probably the worst point in US-China relations in history. Second term he started with the tariffs but was forced to back off. Now he doesn't seem to have a plan.

There is no more overpraised aspect of Trumpism than his approach to China.

If Trump really had evidence the Wuhan Institute of Virology caused the pandemic, wouldn't that give him a powerful source of leverage in negotiations with China? He could tell Xi Jinping, get Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz...give American businesses access to the Chinese market. But there's so sign Trump has that kind of leverage over China.

I don't think he is. Politicians like Rand Paul turned it into a partisan attack on people like Fauci. And notice how they will talk a lot about how there's so much evidence, how it was covered up etc but the supposed smoking gun evidence never actually materializes. And meanwhile Rand Paul is using it to fundraise for himself.

The original of Covid should not be seen as a partisan thing. If in fact there was a cover up by China, that’s important to know. However the obsession with Fauci is completely weird. He worked for Trump remember.
Andrew Kolvet@AndrewKolvet

BOMBSHELL: Here is the entire opening statement from CIA whistleblower James Erdman lll. He testifies that Dr. Fauci's role in the COVID cover-up was INTENTIONAL. He stacked the intelligence community's analysis with conflicted scientists funded by NIAID who pushed the natural origin lie while obfuscating facts around a lab leak from Wuhan, China. CIA managers retaliated against analysts who refused to go along with the middle-of-the-night rewrite that buried the lab leak conclusion. Wow.

@TheOmniLiberal This is similar to when Jordan Peterson tried to debate Zizek. They seem to completely miss that Zizek is critical of the left himself.

Trump is such an excellent bullshitter that eveyone seemed genuinely surprised at how high inflation numbers were today. When gas prices go up to the degree they did, inflation like this is inevitable. It's basic economics. Yet, people believed Trump that prices wouldn't go up.
