I have more elaborate observations to make about ChatGPT, but, in addition to all its potentially deleterious social effects, I'll say it is just not well-designed. There clearly weren't many talented linguists involved. No corpus control & the model weights statistical frequency over all else.

I’m still baffled at how America took one of the basic principles of the presidency — the occupant shouldn’t be able to benefit financially from the office — and just said, nah, that just doesn’t count for this one guy.

Over on Xitter I called on Bondi to investigate Rubio for defending Neo-Nazis. This is a violation of Trump's EOs prohibiting the use of govt $$ to fund antisemitism.

There has been a significant reduction in the number of kids getting the flu vaccine over the past 5 years—a drop from 64% to 49%. Consequently, there have been 216 pediatric flu deaths so far this flu season, the highest number since the swine flu 15 years ago (link below). Vaccinate.

I feel as if making Stephen Miller the National Security Advisor could result in us all dying in a really innovative and non-cliched way. Like not a Tom Clancy disaster but like some kind of John Kennedy Toole way where our demise is the manifestation of incel inadequacy

There’s no point correcting this. There’s no reason to expect this travesty of a human to be any less ignorant on history than he is on every other fathomable topic. So as a 20th Century military historian I’ll just say that those Americans who serve in both wars would be ashamed of this.

Which federal crime did the President commit with this statement? Was it 26 usc 7217, which prohibits the President or his aides from directing any tax enforcement action? Or was it 26 usc 6103, which prohibits any government official from disclosing an ongoing tax proceeding? Maybe both!

RFK Jr. is now ordering the CDC to fund studies of measles treatments using unproven “vitamins and drugs”. This is unethical, irrational, and disgraceful when we already have something that prevents measles safely and effectively. It is the MMR vaccine.

The COVID vaccines have been taken by billions of people, saved millions of lives, and are some of the most rigorously tested medical products in history. Someone who has zero experience in vaccine development should not be influencing the approval process. This will kill people.

Bad enough for anyone to claim the only point of impeachment is winning future elections—it’s the Constitutional response to abuse of power—but worse to say impeachment failed because Trump got reelected. He lost in 2020, after the deserved impeachment the same Dems said would hand him reelection.

Not to be a Wednesday morning quarterback, but if the president is saying something not just false but stupid, it's probably a good idea to keep asking questions. (Do you know what Photoshop is? Who told you this guy had MS-13 tattooed on his knuckles? Who gave you the blown-up picture?)
