My name is Matt Maasdam
and I’m running for Congress
to flip Michigan’s 7th congressional district.
I’m not a politician.
I’m a father, a husband, and a Navy SEAL.
I carried the nuclear football for President Obama
– now I’m running for Congress to continue serving my country.
But this race won’t be easy. Experts are already calling MI-07 one of the most competitiv…

Long but very good:
"An essay on wank"
It names and identifies one of my least favorite genre of posts – finally I have a proper term for it!

The headline should be: ❝AI vendor’s AI-generated analysis claims AI generated reviews for AI-generated papers at AI conference❞
To be clear, I give great credence to the claims of the humans in the article who thought they’d received an AI-generated review. I bet •they’re• correct. It’s Nature I’m coming after here.
A journalistic institution would investigate that claim, track down the reviewer in question, get to the bottom of the story. A PR outlet would just repeat some vendor’s product claims as fact and click “publish.”
Which one is Nature?
