This is my last tweet. The more I learn about Musk’s projects the less I want to associate with any of them. DCD

Fox could do the nation a great service by asking for a show of hands of the candidates : raise your hand if you believe Biden was legally elected president in 2020. Any who didn’t raise their hands would then be asked what evidence they were relying on

A grotesque and deliberate distortion of what I said. Shame on you.

This gets it right. Schliesser didn't stress that these counterfeit people will reproduce, which will very soon create an uncontrollable pandemic if we don't take steps NOW to regulate. LLMs, like other viruses, don't have to be intelligent to get us to reproduce them.

No, I was trying, unsuccessfully alas, to dissuade you, privately, from being such a jerk. Oh well, I tried. Had you taken my advice, I would never have mentioned you again, as I promised.

This is a fine example of competence without comprehension--on a very serious issue, so my hunch is that "Crispin Sartwell" is a chatbot that is best ignored.

Heroically obtuse misreading of a very serious issue. My hunch is that “crispin sartwell” is a chatbot to be ignored.
