- Replying to @thedailybeast"(The Daily Beast cannot confirm the veracity of the posts, as Brooks’ social media accounts have all since been locked.)" They were visible for many hours and the archives still are visible. Maybe you're just not very good at this whole journalism thing?
- Art is the closest thing we have to magic
- Replying to @kitten_belovedThe per capita leaderboard unfairly penalizes large countries because there are per-country limits depending on the sport, such as the two-per-country rule in gymnastics.

- Reservations for Naples, FL restaurants were only down by 62% year-over-year on May 8 - May 9 according to OpenTable's data. Remarkable considering that they are only allowed to have 25% capacity indoors! Other cities, such as Atlanta or Houston, are down much more.
- Ignoring and trying to bury a legit news story was clearly unethical and unjustifiable. But even if it wasn't, you're not considering the second-order effects of eroding the remaining public trust in the mainstream and social media and providing proof of bias on a silver plate.

Announcing my new LLM Creative Story Writing Benchmark! LLMs incorporate a set of 10 mandatory story elements into a short story. Claude 3.5 Sonnet dominates! Gemini models do well. Llama 3.x models struggle. - Let’s say we have to choose one person to be the permanent world leader. We can only choose a single characteristic and whoever tops it becomes this leader. What characteristic would you pick?

- Replying to @echetus and @NathanpmYoungDonating to Wikimedia might seriously be the worst way there is to give away money.Do not donate to Wikipedia/Wikimedia. They have over $230 million in assets, many grifters with $300k+ salaries, and their actual hosting costs are negligible. All content is written (or copied/regurgitated...) by unpaid volunteers. I donated to them when they were starting.
