We're potentially one election - and one big mac-related cardiac arrest - away from our first nooticer president. The American Experiment is on the verge of failure.

so the short answer is the model most likely made the numbers up

Right crime, wrong perp. The Google overview "correctly" sourced the IQ scores from one of Arthur Jensen's "studies" where he reports the IQ of every country in the world and fully makes up numbers for over a third of them

Actually I was wrong, the guy is gay and married. But he IS a trumper, so I probably got mixed up.

Does the (straight) CEO not realize how easy it is to get laid off Grindr? It's an Ok Cupid-style grid, and there's a profile flag you can set that literally says "yes please, send me NSFW pics". You can literally send you hole/pole to everyone who would want to see it in a 3 mile radius

That's amazing. Do you think they crtl-f'd the name changes or ChatGPT'd them?

I think they've been pretty sane AI-wise, lately.

This is barely on topic, but I've found a spambot in the wild. I know they're a dime a dozen, but I wanted to take a deep dive.

https://www.reddit.com/user/ChiaPlotting/

It blew its load advertising a resume generator or something bullshit across hundreds of subs. Here's an example post. The account had a decent amount of karma, that stood out to me. I'm pretty old school, so I thought someone just sold their account. Right? Wrong. All the posts are ChatGPT generated! Read in sequence, all the karma farm posts are very clearly AI generated, but individually they're enticing enough that they get a decent amount of engagement: "How I eliminated my dent with the snowball method", "What do you guys think of recent Canadian immigration 🤨" both paraphrased.

This guy isn't anonymous, and he seemingly isn't profiting off the script that he's hawking. His reddit account leads to his github leads to his LinkedIn which mentions his recent graduation and his status as the co-founder of some blockchain bullshit. I have no interest in canceling or doxxing him, I just wanted to know what type of person would create this kind of junk.

The generator in question, that this man may have unknowingly destroyed his reddit account to advertise, is under the MIT license. It makes you wonder WHY he went to all this trouble.

I want to clone his repo and sniff around for data theft; the repo is 100% percent python, so unless he owns any of the modules being imported the chance of code obfuscation is low. But after seeing his LinkedIn I don't think this guy's trying to spread malware; I think he took a big, low fiber shit aaaaalll over reddit as an earnest attempt at a resume builder.

Personally, I find that so much stranger than malice. 🤷‍♂️
