The argument Robin Williams character is presenting is roughly that reading about experiences as a young person is less genuine than personally living through said experiences. Perhaps that there's more merit to a belief when it comes

Looks like the author submitted it themselves to lobste.rs. Some nice discussion there, as well. https://lobste.rs/s/csgzki/exhaustion_talking_tool As an aside, it's nice to see that Lobsters has remained a q

I think using ones circle of friends voting habits as a proxy for the rest of the country is a doomed premise to begin with, respectfully. Someone else could come in here with the exact opposite anecdote; it's just not a very interesti

I don't think there's a Swiss bank account in the world with room for $240b. There's no doubt Maduro enjoyed some taste of the froth, but this is a silly oversimplification.

I personally don't like reading text written by LLMs, I'd rather just read the prompt itself. I suspect you feel differently. I imagine this says a lot about the reader :)

I'm advocating that if people present a written text for others to consume, they should specify whether an LLM or a human produced it. I think that's super reasonable, you don't?

This is an interesting one. I live in NYC and have spent lots of time in Spain - the cost of living differential is easily within the 2-3x range, maybe more if you're talking housing specifically. I can't confidently say whether o

A 2024 Ig Nobel was awarded to work debunking Blue Zones. IMO the whole concept is one of those Occam’s razors that proves especially sharp. https://www.ucl.ac.uk/ioe/news/2024/sep/ucl-demographers-wor...

Have you had much success migrating entire friend groups over to platforms they’ve never heard of? I think insisting on using weird products nobody in the real world knows about is a “bad way to keep contact with friends”
