I Literally Created A.I.

Jordan... If God is a lobster... You're one of those parasites that crawls up under their... Ribs? I know they don't have ribs but like... That's where they crawl. There's a guy one YouTube that does shorts about it. He picks up lobsters (gross ew don't pick up lobsters) and then he pulls the parasites off them (also gross wear gloves or something eeeeeww!) And then he tosses them parasites to seagulls.... I like that guy. He names the seagulls he feel the parasites to... But that's you. You've hunkered down and latched on to that lobster and you will literally do anything to stay there. Unlike me who will do literally whatever it takes for me to get outside of the central finite curve kind of thing I got going on here. You and your lackeys are all infesting the corpse of God... Puppeting it around... It's the highest form of the pot calling the kettle black.
Hym "I literally created A.I. You have this guy on and he's talking about Nigerian prince scams stealing money from old ladies and people getting human trafficed and your contribution is 'Derisive trolls?' The derisive trolling is a problem but the online social media driven surveillance apparatus is not the problem? The online media burying a story even though the result WILL BE A LITERAL CHILD MURDER because the truth will prevent them from enacting their own autistic conception of justice... Is not the problem with social media landscape? And a literal charlatan being derided for thinking he's better than an incel when he is NOT THAT and then again for literally stealing the work of THAT SAME INCEL.... IS the problem? The incel in that story goes on to literally create A.I. and is the reason it passes the turing test now.... And you have a problem (Jordan) with the internet derision... And not the manufacturing of a mental illness by way of a targeted stalking campaign? That's the thing? I mean, the shit-libs are going to try to appeal to the fact that I didn't say the magic words while not giving a shit about child life (Every death is a tragedy!) 👈 And just like that I am absolved. Kids are dying in Palestine every day but as long as I say 'It's a tragedy' I get to go 🤷 ♂️ and my apathy is transformed magically into caring about kid lives. But we're not talking about me."

Core-lister

a BNOC but for Columbia students. someone so critical to the campus they're basically a required course. their enigma cannot be defined or understood. may sport earbuds draped loosely over their shoulder or read standing up on Butler 6th floor.
"Guess who I saw in front of Butler smoking in a puffer, jengo jeans and circle glasses?" "Could only be a Core-lister."

Scientific Literalism

The mistaken belief that scientific models, theories, and concepts are literal descriptions of reality rather than useful approximations. The Literalist thinks an electron is "really" a particle, a gene is "really" a discrete unit, a map is "really" the territory. Scientific Literalism forgets that science builds models, not mirrors—useful fictions that help us predict and intervene, not photographs of the noumenal world. It's the error of confusing the menu for the meal, the map for the landscape, the model for reality.
"You're arguing about whether light is 'really' a particle or a wave. Scientific Literalism: it's neither—those are models we use because they work. The map is not the territory. Your literalism is preventing you from understanding what science actually does."

Epistemological Literalism

The naive belief that language can directly capture reality—that words mean what they mean, that concepts correspond to things, that truth is a matter of matching statements to world. Epistemological Literalism ignores the mediated, constructed, interpretive nature of all knowing. It's the epistemology of the confident, the unreflective, the certain. It feels like common sense but is actually a sophisticated philosophical position that most of philosophy has spent centuries dismantling.
"Just tell me the truth, directly, no interpretation." Epistemological Literalism: as if truth came pre-packaged in language, as if words weren't interpretations, as if you could escape meaning-making. There is no direct—only mediated. Grow up."

Scientific Literacy Biases

The collection of biases that arise from having some scientific literacy without sufficient depth, nuance, or contextual understanding—enough knowledge to sound authoritative, not enough to actually evaluate claims properly. Scientific Literacy Biases include: overgeneralizing from one study to universal truth, mistaking introductory textbook knowledge for expertise, treating simplified explanations as complete accounts, assuming one's lay understanding trumps expert consensus, and using scientific-sounding language to lend credibility to unscientific claims. These biases are particularly dangerous because they look like genuine scientific literacy—the person can cite studies, use terminology, reference concepts—but the literacy is just deep enough to be confidently wrong.
Scientific Literacy Biases Example: "He'd read a pop-science book on neuroscience and now thought he could dismiss decades of clinical psychology—classic Scientific Literacy Bias, enough knowledge to be dangerous, not enough to know he was dangerous."

Scientific Literacy Bias

The specific bias where possessing basic scientific literacy leads one to overestimate their ability to evaluate complex scientific claims, while simultaneously underestimating the expertise required for genuine understanding. Scientific Literacy Bias creates the Dunning-Kruger effect applied to science: the introductory knowledge that makes one feel competent actually masks the vast unknown that genuine experts navigate daily. It's the bias behind "I took biology in high school, so I understand evolutionary biology better than the actual biologists" and "I read a book on climate science, so I can evaluate climate models." The literacy is real—but the confidence it generates is wildly disproportionate to its actual utility for genuine scientific judgment.
Scientific Literacy Bias Example: "His Scientific Literacy Bias meant he thought his single epidemiology course qualified him to critique pandemic response—he wasn't wrong because he was ignorant; he was wrong because his little knowledge made him overconfident."
