To anyone still wondering if New York Times can disgrace itself even more than it already has in recent years, Dan Froomkin has an answer:
"The sad fact is that there is nothing terribly out of character about the New York Times’s decision to publish a deceptive hit piece about New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, based on hacked data supplied by a noted eugenicist to whom they granted anonymity."

A nice looking guy. You'd have thought he'd make a bigger splash after his service in the US Navy during the Civil War.
Curious also that most members of his family spelled their surname "Haxton" but he and his wife went with "Haxtun."

"The hand-in-waistcoat gesture traces back to classical times – Aeschines, founder of a rhetoric school, suggested that speaking with an arm outside of the chiton was bad manners. ... An early 18th-century guide on "genteel behavior" indicates that it denotes "manly boldness tempered with modesty."

LLM/GAN/etc. bubble taking so long to burst, the next AI winter's gonna be brutal. More like a full-blown Ice Age.
So the next big thing will be whole brain emulation, probably. And you know what that means, aside from immortality for a few rich fucks.
Let's hope we scale down our digital infrastructure way back before that, or it will get downright ugly. Moving text, audio and video back to analog media would help a lot too.

I had already updated account password of important ones, especially anything that had data on me beyond an email. But I left the old ones alone, figuring why bother.

Froomkin is absolutely right. This ugly hit piece which raises major ethical questions about how NYT does journalism is exactly what I'd have expected from New York Times — and why I read it only when other sources I respect cite some of its few good articles.

The Mamdani story, however, fell far short of the newsworthiness bar."

Unknown parent • • •a white South African makes things even more confusing, but AFAIK the race question comes in two parts like this:
Individuals are asked to first designate ethnicity as:
Hispanic or Latino or
Not Hispanic or Latino
Second, individuals are asked to indicate one or more races that apply among the following:
American Indian or Alaska Native
Asian
Black or African American
Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander
White
so if you're an Indian born in Uganda wtf do you pick? I don't even know
