“Both Sides”
The Both Sides argumentative strategy is the adult equivalent of a child, having been caught red-handed smacking their playmate up the side of the head, pointing to the playmate with a they-did-it-too.

On “Grooming” and “Indoctrination”
I'm not a fan of buzzwords. Buzzwords become shortcuts to meaning, and their obfuscatory nature makes them popular with those who don't want to have a real conversation, but instead use the buzzword as a cudgel.

#Superhuman #ArtificialIntelligence can improve #human #decision-making by increasing #novelty

"Historical changes in decision-making by professional #Go players over the recent decades, focusing on changes after the advent of superhuman #AI (#AlphaGo). Superhuman AI may have improved human decision-making and this improvement was associated with increased novelty in decision-making as human players were encouraged to make decisions previously unobserved in history"

My students are convinced that I’m a wizard when they see me navigate around my computer using nothing but keyboard shortcuts and apps like #Raycast, #ArcBrowser, and #Superhuman.

Learning keyboard shortcuts is a computer life hack.

In the #caliginous streets, a #shadow flits.

You'd have to be #superhuman to catch it. Even if you did, after a few seconds you'd be left holding nothing but a fleeting sense of indescribable... #pink-ness.

Beware, friend, it lurks in the night.

With apologies to Sir Terry Pratchett who inspired the phrasing in this with Death's discussion in Soul Music about seeing the infinite with a Holy Man:

“All right, what did it look like?”

"IT’S BLUE.”

As a #Romanian, replacing the morning coffee with a glass of pickled cabbage juice is a common way to start the day after a party night. But I will stop here regarding this magic drink. I don’t want to spill the secret of turning everyone into a #superhuman.

Today I learned Isaac Asimov PUBLISHED an average of 1000 words PER DAY over a period of 40 years.

In the next 20 years he upped that figure to 1700.

Oh dear god.

I feel as though it will be a long time before this character design is finished. It is a design that haunts me, I see her glowing in the sky but there is so much light...I struggle to make her out. I can't seem to draw her clearly, but I know I'll get it right one of these days. Clearly inspired by Superman and Rainbow Brite. #loli #sfw #superhuman #OC

A lot of paintings in the church depict your #Jesus as a #superhuman. But this is dangerous. Jesus was no superhuman. He was not #Superman. He was a very normal, ordinary #human, just like you and me.
