I feel like the type of personality that trusts predictions markets as 'real info' and the type that trusts chatbot output are.....the same person Someone shallow and interested in the aesthetic of empiricism and grammar, not in the sweaty hard work of trying to be as right as possible about things

Jenny Cohn@jennycohn.bsky.social

How pathetic. This pro-Bolsonaro Brazilian official relied on the Thiel-backed prediction market (Polymarket) to suggest that Flavio Bolsonaro had won his debate against President Lulu (who just defeated Bolsonaro in the election.) Because Polymarjet is “real” info. 🙄 1/ x.com/delegadorama...

I'm sorry but banning non-English speakers because machine translation is unclean is more fascist than anything in the AI space except maybe Palantir's XAI enterprise account
