The idea that AIs don't "really" understand the words they use proves too much — nobody understands the words they use. We're all just matching patterns. https://t.co/6V9Y9h7RJ5 https://t.co/LpLOY3iy0V — PolitiTweet.org

The arguments that LaMDA is just a good pattern-matching algorithm that is well-crafted to fool gullible people, seem convincing to me. But how do you know that I'm not a pattern-matching algorithm that is well-crafted to fool gullible people? https://t.co/6V9Y9h7RJ5 — PolitiTweet.org

It seems like everyone has moved on from the "is Google's chatbot sentient?" debate but not me! I think the debunkers are getting something seriously wrong about this. https://t.co/6V9Y9h7RJ5 — PolitiTweet.org

I love the idea that the big secret revelation — the skeleton key that explains everything — is that people have conversations with each other, sometimes touching on points of political agreement. https://t.co/DYRaQ8iAI8 — PolitiTweet.org

Guy who thinks we’re going to decarbonize the global economy entirely with rooftop solar and maybe a couple of offshore wind projects that don’t mess up anyone’s view. — PolitiTweet.org

I would simply remove all rules governing maximum height, FAR, lot occupancy, quantity of units, and parking and let people build stuff. — PolitiTweet.org

Yes. If you can elect one real legislative champion who starts introducing real concrete pieces of legislation, then you start to see who supports what on a specific level and can start to see who stands where and what the roadblocks are. — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias I feel like we need some real, honest to goodness bills to reform things, and then ask for y/n on support
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
I’m not sure exactly what the right question to ask is. But you want something that a bunch of people say “no, that’s bad” to but then a different bunch of people say “yes, that’s good” and then we have a political fight instead of a mush. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Like while superficially it’s great to see everyone taking the pro-housing position on these two issues, in the real world if it were actually true that everyone in DC politics supported more building more equally distributed then we’d have different outcomes. https://t.co/KiYJaU0lmb — PolitiTweet.org

I love the @ggwash visualization of the answers candidates gave to their questions, but I’m not sure the questions they asked here have done a great job of defining the issue space or generating useful cleavages. https://t.co/DJMMfPbl1A — PolitiTweet.org

@blower_lucas @akarjeker @AraucariaArauc1 @ryangrim It seems like a big issue here is that you didn’t read the article. Which is totally fine, nobody is under any obligation to read anything they don’t want to. But if you questions about the argument of the piece, I think a good way to find answers is to read it. — PolitiTweet.org

@karlbykarlsmith @davidshor Elite conservative writers keep telling me right-populism is about distrust of the establishment and putting faith in the wisdom of the masses, but Shor’s point is it correlates with saying *most people* can’t be trusted, which is a different idea. — PolitiTweet.org

There is this other Matthew Yglesias who’s a physical therapist in Mississippi and he probably doesn’t find the “how could you have the same weird rare name as this other guy?” idea to be that funny. — PolitiTweet.org

@davidshor But why does lack of interpersonal trust have this effect? It seems like it involves putting a lot of trust in the chosen leader! — PolitiTweet.org
