Found a solution to being lectured about #AI by people who have never trained a model:
I will simply ask "do you do math using a slide rule?"
A "no" will disqualify.
For those of us who find it scary that #students might do #homework using #AI, please note:
1) There was a thing called #internet before AI.
2) Absolutely, introduction of the hand held calculator 50 years ago totally means none of the math you see today is real.

Their influence can be threatened by spotlighting them, by giving them negative attention.
On the other hand, some rich people just have effectively infinite money. They *cannot* be #cancelled; they exist in their own world, completely immune to public opinion. We can do nothing to stop them. I think it's best to not give them any attention at all.

It is really hard for me to understand why people like @ezraklein or @mattyglesias are popular

He skimmed one paper, talked to one guy, and decide that workers dying on the jobsite was not important
it is almost a parody of the #NYT as a right wing newspaper
whatever

Fictional newsman Ted Baxter was more invested in fame than in good #journalism – but unlike today’s #pundits, he didn’t corrupt the #news

Has anybody searched #Cheney's basement for #classified #documents yet?
Or are they afraid they might find something else altogether?
@vegetablegremlin @AnarchoNinaWrites Was beyond strange listening to NPR pundits chew glass tonight while trying to figure out where their beloved good, governing Repubs™ are in all this, then finally figuring out there aren't any.
"Oh, McCarthy's people still want to investigate Hunter Biden? hmm... sh1t..."
@stevesilberman Exactly the same. #Post seems more like a place to go to read #journalists and #pundits as they opine, whereas #Mastodon is a place to engage and discuss.
TV’s female pundits are out in force – but not for the big England matches
One thing should not be too controversial, correct me if I'm wrong.
The mantra that #Kanye is #mentallyill minimizes people with psychiatric challenges and does not excuse the fact that he is a pompous ass who got lucky in the #capitallism lottery and has a malicious personality.
Peeps( #Vaush) speculating that he 'needs lithium' or 'antipsychotics' don't know what they are talking about. #physicians won't lightly diagnose remotely nor should #pundits.
Cured, he'd still be a jerk.
Shout-out to all the #journalists, #pundits, #scientists #artists, #personalities and all #talents taking time to check this place out and give it a real shot. #leadership #difference
On the red tsunami that wasn't:

Don't know why this weekend's talking heads didn't grasp the obvious of the DOJ move to appoint a Special Counsel at this point in time and not previously, but it IS quite obvious in the cause-effect department. Prior to declaring candidacy, Trump was a plain vanilla citizen getting no special treatment from the DOJ that wouldn't have been afforded any other citizen. Trump's declaration of candidacy changed that, and was therefore the cause of the appointment. #DUH
Pundits making the argument that there was an obvious conflict of interest all along are ignoring the fact that thusfar Trump wasn't running AND was no longer in office since almost friggin 2 years ago. Regular hoi polloi citizen like every other citizen.
It's his filing for candidacy that changed the situation, people. Really. DUH.
Serious #deepthoughts
Being right for the wrong reason is not being right, it's just being lucky.
So whenever politicians or #pundits says "You see, I was right", try to check the arguments they gave at the time they made their pronoucements.
I see Dave is still running with the narrative dems can’t win. When do the pundits just be quiet since they have clearly been wrong. They didn’t and still don’t consider the power of gen Z #genZ #elections #pundits

All right, tootas. It's bizarre #food #photography while I don't listen to #pundits or watch #polls. So I make this #dessert out of winter squash, one onion, a glug of stock and about one ocean of brown sugar and butter. Yup. Dessert. Then I ladle it over a nice banana bread and there you go.... you've reached a new high score in the Calorie Olympics.
here’s a thought for anyone who is feeling tempted to succumb to worry about the US #election on Tuesday (👋🏻):
no matter what the #polls say (they’ve been increasingly inaccurate in recent years),
no matter what the #pundits say (the incentive of big media is to keep us freaked out, keep our eyes glued to them for ratings & ad cash),
the future is not yet written.
*nobody* knows what will happen on Tuesday.
keep your head down, keep working all the way through the finish line, and #VOTE.
