Well, there is a market in people who think their city has gone to hell all because of... those people. They'll eat this shit up.

The happiest thought I've seen all day, and it's already been a real good day.

The best time was 100 years ago. The second-best time is now.

Lyndon LaRouche. I'd occasionally run across a few of his minions out leafletting and they oozed that culty wacko vibe.

This (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0927650524001130?via%3Dihub#sec0027) appears to be the actual paper the article is talking about.

Well it's a series, but Three body problem. It should have been right up my alley, but I got so tired of every decision by every character being stupid that I couldn't be bothered to read the last fifty pages of the last book.

Even if I charitably assumed the point of the book was to show that people are weak and stupid, the series was such a ham-handed strawman as to undercut its own commentary. And even worse, it had just enough interesting ideas to lead me to believe it was going somewhere worthwhile, but it never did.

It's been years and I'm still pissed off that I wasted a week on it.

You ever stand behind a couple of geezers in line somewhere and they start talking about some random stuff? They didn’t know each other. They were just bored.

The paper explicitly states that they are calling ChatGPT "bullshit" in the Frankfurtian sense and they cite "On Bullshit" as the source for that definition. It's right there in the introduction.

You'd know this if you had read the paper or even checked whether your statement were true. So either you read it and then lied deliberately, or you didn't read the paper nor actually care about the truth value of your own statement, rendering your comment itself bullshit in the Frankfurtian sense.
