I wrote a new piece yesterday, called "Confessions of an Unrepentant Slop Snob", about my escalating rage at AI-generated text.
It includes a framework for thinking about when AI involvement is fine -- just another tool -- and when it lands as a violation.

The AI industry has confused abundance with value.
More drafts.
More images.
More summaries.
More angles.
More options.
But “more” is not a product.
It’s often the product refusing to do its job.

there is a cohort of men who resent the responsibilities and obligations of adulthood — of the fact that you owe things to other people. it is a fundamentally childish impulse that they have reconfigured as the height of masculinity, and i think it informs the parasocial attraction to platner.

🪼 Your tax dollars paid a scientist to squeeze jellyfish through cheesecloth. Osamu Shimomura processed tens of thousands on an NSF grant to understand why they glow. He found a protein that glowed green under UV light. Called it "green protein." Nobody cared. For decades.

The invitation to explain things to people who are announcing their intention to not understand the explanation is not as enticing as many seem to think.
Who learns? Who gains? One person has nothing of value to say. The other can't say anything that will be heard.

Perhaps Magyar's most important promise, and the one that certainly resonates with voters: "never again a country without consequences!"
