I admire this principled stand from a man with wholly justifiable "beef" against the tragically demented Glinner. xitter.cf/JonathanPieNews/status…
To even imply that someone is a Nazi apologist without absolute proof is disgusting behaviour. Wind your fucking neck in you nasty prick. xitter.cf/glinner/status/9772832…

@GaryMarcus If you want to mess with GPT-5 some more, try using the "corner fork" strategy against it in Tic-Tac-Toe. I have also seen it declare false victories and concede false defeats! So, you don't even need Chess to show the limitations in the game playing domain.

..but, from the report itself "Null Findings", although they try to explain why they might have missed something.. Seems like a slightly dodgy "spin" here, I must say!

These "Rolling Stone recruits" sound like dangerous extremist lunatics to me! Or maybe they just have shitty proof-readers and editors? (Imagine my surprise, Rolling Stone!)

Guys! A quick primer: "Rein in", like a horse, not "Reign in", like Queen Victoria "Toe the line", like a racer awaiting the gun, not "Tow the line", like a trawler "Hare-brained", like a rabbit (related to "mad as a March hare"), not "hair-brained", like your skull collapsed
