Did you know that there is AN ACTUAL STUDY about circle pits and how they rotate counter clockwise? It blew my mind, I could NOT think of a single pit I’ve been to where people are going clockwise (unless they are crowd killing or forming after a wall of death)

I profiled Macklemore in 2016 for Rolling Stone, really liked him, forgot the cool song he made at age 17 about taking magic mushrooms and beatboxing with birds in the mountains then metamorphosizing into a Native American (!) and assassinating Christopher Columbus

@richarlison97 still love you mate. Sorry how it’s gone sour. You always fought for the club and gave 100%; during the Europa league, and during a relegation battle. Ill never forget that. Thank you 🫶🤍

New paper in Nature Human Behaviour makes two important points:
First, LLMs reduce the linguistic diversity of how people express themselves.
This is perhaps not super surprising at this stage. But the authors also show something deeper.
Since the words we use carry information about who we are, LLMs are also erasing the identity signals that we embed in our writing.
LLMs strip out the soul of our writing.

We'll never see another Dolly Parton: unanimously beloved by teens & geriatrics, country obsessives & twang atheists, rural evangelists & bohemian cynics. Blessed w/ the emotional depth, charm & songwriting gift to induce tears, laughs & joy. The last American we could agree on.

An amazing video of Dolly Parton singing one of her most famous songs in Páidí Ó Sé’s pub in Ventry Co. Kerry 🇮🇪 in 1990
How did Páidí pull that coup off
