It’s LLM-generated. I’ve seen this tweet discussed in a few different places now and I’m surprised I’m the only one pointing this out.

The spelling, grammar and sentence structure are too good for it to be Trump. It’s too coherent and fact-based, but it’s also too cohesive. It meanders like Trump, but then it gets back to the point. It’s presenting a formulaic argument. That’s something LLMs always do and Trump never does.

It’s also loaded with em dashes. There is no possibility that Trump used an em dash on purpose.

Trump probably put the prompt into ChatGPT himself and then didn’t bother to read it.

I just read the whole rant, and it’s clearly and without a doubt generated by an LLM.

The grammar and spelling are too good. It’s also too coherent, but more importantly it’s too cohesive. It meanders a lot but eventually returns to the point. It’s trying to present a formulaic argument the way LLMs always do, and in a way that Trump never has.

It also hits on points that Trump would never mention, like that Sandy Hook wasn’t a hoax.

And just in case there’s any doubt, it’s loaded with em dashes.

Jeff Foxworthy’s entire oeuvre in shambles.

Because the rest of us respect people who create things.

I find that a little witty.

Pro tip: you can save 1/3 words by just saying “I agree.”

Honestly, Google Search has been better the last couple years after spending the previous twenty years getting consistently worse.

Most of what I use Google for is trivial. Like how old is a certain actor, or why was this author canceled, or what does this item do in a video game?

It’s great for those things. Especially the video game stuff. I don’t want to watch a 10 minute video just to get a discrete answer, and now I don’t have to.

I can even ask it for spoiler-free hints on a particular puzzle, and most of the time it gives me something useful.

Quiet people serve as a mirror to people who can’t shut up. That becomes uncomfortable for people who don’t like what they see.

On the other hand some people could stand to say a little less.

It’s just a matter of politeness. It’s rude to call someone something they don’t want to be called.

Lemmy has pretty active communities for both bunnies and foxes.

I’m starting to write a comic book too. My daughter invented a super hero and the name was just so perfect that I felt like I had to expand on it: “Princess Superspeed Girl”. I’ve got like four or five stories written in my head that I’ve workshopped with her as bedtime stories.

So I’m writing it for my daughter, but I’m kind of a perfectionist and only marginally talented, so it’s very slow going.

Anyway, I think you should write yours. The stuff you said about it here doesn’t specifically pique my interest, but you were also pretty vague about it, and the execution matters as much as the premise.

It’s important to create things. Not just for other people to see it, but for your own sake, just for you to have created it. There’s value in that.

That’s a good point, but is it free? Can I use it without giving Apple any money, or do I need to have an Apple product to run it on?

I’m on .world and on reddit, and reddit is much, much worse.

My job isn’t important, but I make good money and my work-life balance is excellent. I get to spend time with my wife, my kids, and my cats. So I’m good with it.

I’ve never been able to picture myself at an important job. I don’t know what that would be.

I’ve had my LG for like six years, no problem. I even connected it to the internet.

Don’t buy your wife a wide vase. Just get her a normal sized one. Otherwise you’ll have to buy twice as many flowers for the rest of your marriage.

Plastic straw pollution doesn’t have a measurable impact on the environment.

The entire thing about banning plastic straws comes from some high schooler using back-of-a-napkin math to guess how many straws are in the ocean in what was clearly a successful attempt at starting a science fair project the night before it was due. Some news station picked it up, and then a bunch of science-illiterates ran away with it.

You can’t determine the impact of pollution by count. Straws are tiny and weigh almost nothing. If you skip buying one pair of sneakers in your life, then you’ve successfully reduced your plastic use by almost a lifetime of plastic straws.

Removing plastic straws is probably the single least impactful way to reduce plastic pollution. It’s pure virtue signaling: it’s about presenting an image of being environmentally conscious while doing effectively nothing to help the environment.
