Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people.

Poe's Law works both ways, and people who were being mocked now take that as a serious part of their belief system; it's escalation of stupidity, they literally are a mockery of themselves. Each copy of a copy just a little worse.

they surely know how to find people with more money than they know what to do with ... if I had $1000 right now, I'd invest in the resistance.
"They're coming into your cities, into your churches, to destroy you!" they said as they launched missiles in a "pre-emptive response" to a war that hasn't started, because they want to go to their cities and churches and destroy them.

![A Norman Dog comic from a 1983 issue of Whole Earth Catalog depicting a raven-haired human talking to a brain-haired alien robot in a suit (with shoulder pads) and a face that looks like half-way between Franken-Berry and Max Headroom. it says:
Hints for Aliens (#42 of a series) When infiltrating the native human population it is important to remain inconspicuous! So, when in doubt conversationally, try simply repeating the last two or three words anyone says to you! They never notice a thing!

Hey there big fella ... you just move in?

"A Tribulation Map" depicting "the end times," as predicted by "many Christians" according to the Whole Earth Catalog in 1983; it shows "The Church Age" ending after "Israel regained the Temple Site in Jerusalem" in 1967 and the 1973 "Energy Crisis"; soon thereafter would be the "Rapture of the Saved" when the "Tribulation Judgments" would begin - for the first 3.5 years "Temporary Peace, Jewish Temple By" the end of these years, during this time would be "Seals" and "Trumpets" (depicted by lightning bolts raining down on the timeline) when the Antichrist moves into the Temple followed by 3.5 more years of "Trumpets" and "Bowls" culminating in the "Battle of Armageddon" which is when the "Return of Christ in Glory" will come "* NOTE: this shows judgment content only, not sequence or time of occurrence" and the "Kingdom" age will begin.
Because it's the song that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friends...
I've done it.
I've eaten the $400 worth of food.
Don't blame the Critic.
I go to the grocery store,
I dissociate,
I reappear at home with $400 of food that I now somehow have to force myself to eat.

Iโll say it again: REVELATION IS NOT A PROPHECY IT IS A CODED MESSAGE ABOUT ROME AND THE BURNING OF THE SECOND TEMPLE. 7 HEADS OF THE DRAGON, 7 HILLS OF ROME. IF YOU TAKE IT LITERALLY OR THINK IT IS A PROPHECY YOU ARE A MORON.
Ok so you're telling me that these fuckers have ultra accurate missiles, satellites that can read road markings from LEO and have the people of Iran talking about shit on social media they can piece together but they can't tell a girls school from a government facility?

I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing โreviewedโ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.

Now would be a good time for anyone who wants to learn about recent Iranian history to read this. It is well worth your time and money (I am sure your local library has it if you donโt want to purchase it).
