If you’re inclined to dig a layer deeper than the surface “next word predictor” descriptions of Generative AI, this is an excellent read for those who want to know more. open.substack.com/pub/unders…

I love the internet
That Mr. French has debated me twice is "pure fiction." Also, he has lifted humorlessness into an art form, bringing a level of dedication to it that is genuinely impressive. Sad!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Eric Metaxas and David French publicly debated at least twice in 2020, including on evangelical support for Trump at the Q Summit and "Should Christians Vote for Trump?" at John Brown University.

Trump: "I alone could secure a prisoner release from Russia without giving anything in return"
Trump literally ten minutes later: "Now you idiots know why I had to waive sanctions on Russia, no shot I got that prisoner release otherwise"
Dear @Sonos - how can you defend putting the most used UX (volume mute) control on your app into a minuscule tap area with a tint tap area?

“I felt a great disturbance in the Force… as if millions of Russian bots cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.”

Andrew Scott delivers this speech too slowly; I know some viewers will hate the way he breaks up the verse. AND YET even in spite of that I think this is the best delivery of this soliloquy I’ve ever seen.
He makes it sound like it’s not a portentous speech everyone already knows but a morally serious real-time deliberation, by a highly intelligent person in extreme pain, considering what it would mean to end his own life.

We are the free and the home of the brave. The moral leaders of the free world. Oh yes, we are brave and free.
I had my first experience today of an AI trying to shift responsibility (/blame) to me, the human, for not catching their mistake early in a process. I guess AIs were trained on people shifting blame, so ... what should we expect?
For us who have loved it for decades @kraftmacncheese is lost greatness by a thousand cuts. Pasta and box size shrinkage for profit. Flavor changes for…why? (Cheddar cheese should not be nutty.) (Irritating) MAHA-driven loss of famous color. 😢
Help to @antmccrossan : your Km remaining statements have been off by 10k here at 25Km left. #uciworlds #womensRoad
Orwell’s famous 1984 is coming to be more real today. State media now! #trumpTV At least it’s not 2-way thought police - yet.
Listening to @JDVance give a stump speech in NC; it is sooooo full of false data. I know there’s always hyperbole in politics, but man … this is insane.
The experience of business class on @airfrance in Charles de Gaulle airport has been fantastic until we got to the lounge, where apparently you cannot enter until three hours before your flight. We have more time to kill than that. This is a ding on the otherwise great experience
Here’s my philosophy: if we are both standing, e.g. at a quick serve restaurant, I’m not giving a tip. #tipping #gonetoofar
Trump’s work to put his name on everything in DC is not much different than a dog on a walk, trying to pee on every thing to put his mark on it. So, Trump is a dog.
"Donald Trump ... is far more similar to an Egyptian Pharaoh than the “servant-leader” Jesus speaks of. A leader who wants his name, image and likeness everywhere ... is clearly into 'lording it over' the rest of us." Tell it. redlettersredlines.substack.…
