If someone accuses you of using AI because of em-dashes, reply with something condescending like "I'm sorry you were poorly educated, but some of us can and do read books." It does…

Yes, had SCOTUS ruled differently in Citizens United, the scope of the ruling would have likely been narrowly focused. Every time SCOTUS makes a ruling, there are thousands of extr…

The problem isn't so much investors losing money, it's if this kills the economy. A lot of elites are now unemployed with nothing better to do thanks to AI. Historically speaking, …

I don't think there will be any bailouts for these AI companies. There's no political will to do so in both parties. The grizzly alternative is a DeFlock movement, but instead of c…

If it's been 10+ years and an employer wants your SAT scores, 1600 is as good an answer as any. Anyone asking for that data point doesn't actually care about the accuracy, they jus…
