Oh no, what the hell. I found his personal Twitter, which has nothing from the last few years, but I didn't realize he was using his company's Twitter to defend JK Rowling. Eurgh!

What a terrible argument. Anything that involves messing around with your teeth needs to have good reasons to do it, rather than just good arguments against doing it.

They've had enough problems with the guy who claimed to be the reincarnation of LRH.

I reckon Miscavige wouldn't want a robo-LRH as it could challenge his power within the organization.

Oh no, what happened to that dude? He seemed fairly sane from his blog.

It's interesting to me that they're named after four thieves. Not sure if it's a deliberate joke or just another manifestation of the anarchist herbalism tendency that seems to have developed in the last 20 or 30 years.

A new substack about AI: Ludd. "Citizen Journalism on AI, Publishing, and the new Tech Landscape". First post is about Repeater Books, Israel and AI: second is about AI and climate change.

I told one of my college professors I'd been having issues with some software I had to learn to use for another class, and he said "can I give you a tip? try using chat-gpt to explain how to use it" and without thinking I said "why would I use chat-gpt? It's rubbish" and his face fell. Sorry, Prof, I know you were trying to help.

This was after he'd said to the class that he knew we would all be using chat-gpt for assignments.
