Excited to promote my upcoming book this weekend! I got a bottle of (really) cheap bourbon to help me along. #booksky
I think patient, careful reading is one of my best things. (I just finished DE NATURA DEORUM in Latin & am currently struggling through GRETTIS SAGA in Old Norse.)
But I think this guy makes some good points. When I turn to a page and see a solid block of text, my heart dies a little.
to be clear no actual interviewees were harmed, or interviewed, in the creation of my contribution. But Zach is always brilliant to read!

"Screw Covid, I'm going to Sturgis!" The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, held in August 2020, was the epitome of the individual choice mindset. Of course it spread cases outward and caused infections, illness, and death. A new research paper allows us to watch the Sturgis Covid wave spread across the US.
Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.
But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Another one rides the bus. But you can hardly blame Trump for wanting to secure the services of silvertongued Markwayne Mullin, one of the few people on the planet who's dumber than Trump himself.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Some desperate, Tychonian attempt to find a middle ground where there isn't one, probably helped along with some bad faith.
Haven't read the interview yet, and I know it's a mistake to interpret an article based on its headline, much less its subheadline. But: "the conflict remains limited" and "also creates an entirely new Middle East"? One of these things is not like the other.
