@GaryMarcus I find it can be quite uncanny good about incorporating different layers, e.g. "Write a dialog between A, B and C with constraints D and E in style F and plot twist G"... it will do that pretty cleverly. On the other hand, it's pretty bad about "thinking from first principles". — PolitiTweet.org

@antoniogm Free speech norms can also prevail for pragmatic reasons at pluralistic institutions, even if there are few "true" 1A believers. But a lot of "elite" institutions have become less pluralistic on some important political questions given increasing educational polarization. — PolitiTweet.org

Simple theory: Donald Trump and the acute phase of the COVID pandemic brought out the worst in pretty much everyone, and likely had a lot of second-order effects. So, yeah, lots of seemingly-unrelated things have been getting better since roughly Feb. 2021. — PolitiTweet.org

@phl43 Yeah, the implication that you need a secret decoder ring to understand content moderation is the midwittiest thing of all time, particularly when people aren't really arguing about whether content moderation is good per se but whether Twitter's decisions were biased. — PolitiTweet.org

The Twitter content moderation discourse is supremely uninteresting because nobody's mind is going to be changed about whether previous Twitter moderation was biased against conservatives, and almost all of the other questions flow downstream from that. — PolitiTweet.org

@MattZeitlin Maybe. I think she'd have IDK a 40% chance of surviving a primary challenge (especially against divided opposition) by being a normie D over the next year then a 60% chance of winning the general election if she did. So ~25%. I'm not sure her chances of winning as an I are > 25%. — PolitiTweet.org

@conorsen I think maybe more in 2012 which is one of the elections that you can pretty well argue *was* decided by turnout (Obama lost independents to Romney). — PolitiTweet.org

"It's all about turnout" is perhaps the biggest myth in electoral analysis. Persuasion generally matters more than turnout. — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans enjoyed a superior turnout this fall, based on authoritative data on turnout by party from NC, AZ, GA,… https://t.co/JhWRG6Ux7i

Particularly if Republicans nominate someone wacky like Kari Lake again, Sinema could be an off-ramp for moderate Republicans. — PolitiTweet.org

I wouldn't assume this at all, she's no more popular with Democrats than Republicans. — PolitiTweet.org

@NateSilver538 The move does seem to reduce the chances of Democrats keeping that seat, since she would presumably… https://t.co/r6m6weEa8u

Sinema was not very popular with anyone, I'm not sure whether today's move increases or decreases her chances of winning another term (I actually suspect decreases) but they were low to begin with and they remain low. https://t.co/r2tbstLBWz — PolitiTweet.org

@MattZeitlin Crypto maybe but I think the consensus for a while now has been that it's more interesting as a cultural phenomenon than as a technology per se. But was anyone at any point other than Mark Zuckerberg ever actually excited about the metaverse? — PolitiTweet.org

Maybe it gaslights you because it has terrible NBA takes, like that Detlef Schrempf was better than Hakeem Olajuwon. https://t.co/mDZWXwXf4u — PolitiTweet.org

This is…weird/creepy. If you ask ChatGPT who was better, Michael Jordan or Kurt Rambis, it won't answer and then will gaslight you into pretending it doesn't know how many points Jordan scored. But if you start out by asking it how many points Jordan scored, it DOES answer. https://t.co/mWO8iGQExx — PolitiTweet.org

@ne0liberal Spend a lot more on pandemic preparedness (unfortunately in this case, the fact that the issue isn't yet coded for either party seems to result in neither party giving a shit). — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias One theory I heard is that the Facebook news algo rewarded emotional rather than cerebral engagement, perhaps because that was a good signal when seeing posts from friends/family. The political orientation of the content it liked may have been a downstream effect from that. — PolitiTweet.org

I don't think betting markets are particularly good at pre-election forecasting but on election nights, that's what I'd tend to go with. Their incentives are better than people have reasons to be extremely risk averse in not making an incorrect "call". — PolitiTweet.org
