Fully agree! Emily Bender is a family friend. I generally believe everything she says on this subject. She agrees with you.

Still marveling at that guy who said he thought of me as having avoided bluesky brain worms until I said it was dumb for someone to say AI chatbots might be alive

I love this sketch so much. I think of it every time I hear anyone root for the collapse of society.

“With him I get nothing.” -everyone he has ever spoken to

“Obtuse” generally doesn’t mean “you see right through my bullshit,” but if it means that to you I’m genuinely hurt that you think I’m not usually it.

I guess you’d know, Mr. Eternally Q Online (I’ve assigned you a middle initial)

That’s my spouse, and based on your behavior today you are not fit to wash their feet.

You know what people without crippling bluesky addictions don’t do? Everything you’ve said to me today.

Yes, you should definitely totally reevaluate your opinion of me because I called a dumb argument dumb, something people without crippling bluesky addictions simply never do. Touch grass, Mr. Eternally Online

It’s pretty funny to have a guy with “eternally online” in his bio taunt me by capitalizing “Online”

Neither did he, unless there’s some way to get paid for arguing on Bluesky that I don’t know about. It does seem to be his great passion, though.

It demands the question: why are you following me at all? You don’t seem to like me or agree with me.

If that’s true (and I want to emphasize it is not), then your much more simplistic and much smugger argument is equally performative. At best.

3. Ooh, capitalizing Online. How knowing and clever.

1. I’m saying what I think. I think it’s very sad that you can only imagine it as a performance. “Anyone who doesn’t think and act just like me is performing” is such a sad way to think. 2. That’s the exact diametrical opposite of what I said. Are you daring me to doubt your intelligence?

This is Bluesky. The choices are infinite. But I know what it’s like when you think you have a contrary take you’re excited to argue for. It feels like you’ve been given a mission by angels. It’s exhilarating. I’m 8 years older than Will. Maybe I’m just too tired anymore. Mostly.
