Due to all the ‘both sides’ ‘toxic culture war’ narrative regarding the medicalisation of gender dysphoria in children it really is worth stepping back in time to understand what went on at the Tavistock GIDS clinic over the last 30 years. 🧵
For a good understanding of how the gender service was run in the 1990s ppl can listen to Ellie’s desistance story. She went to GIDs in the 1990s & received talking therapies that explored gender distress. She is a lesbian who desisted from transitioning
However, things changed. When Sue Evans, an eventual whistleblower, joined GIDS in 2003 and children were being medicalised. She became concerned when a colleague referred a child with complex needs to the hormone clinic after just 4 sessions. Listen here: thecritic.co.uk/the-road-to-th…
I found the laziest way to make $100/day.
(It's made me $1M+ at 45)
How?
Self-publishing Ebooks.
Here's exactly how to copy me:

Here's exactly how to copy me:
First, let me be clear about what this actually is:
Amazon KDP self-publishing.
You create books (or hire someone to), publish them on Amazon, and collect royalties every month.
I've published 300+ books doing this.
Some make $50/month, others make $2,000+/month.

Here's why it's "lazy":
• You don't need to be a writer
• No physical inventory
• No customer service
• No fancy tech skills
• Amazon handles everything
You literally create it once and it pays you for years.
My books from 2015 still make me money today.

New paper on a long-shot I've been obsessed with for a year:
How much are AI reasoning gains confounded by expanding the training corpus 10000x? How much LLM performance is down to "local" generalisation (pattern-matching to hard-to-detect semantically equivalent training data)?

tl;dr
* OLMo 3 training corpus contains exact duplicates of 50% of the ZebraLogic test set.
* We embed the corpus to find semantic duplicates of test data in the wild. 78% of the CodeForces test set had >=1 semantic duplicate
* The semantic duplicate rate is maybe >4 in 10000

Stubb: I don’t believe Russia keeps fighting to gain territory. In 12 years it gained about 8% more, and recently just 1%.
Losses are huge — 34,000 in December, 30,000 in January — and recruitment lags. The real issue is the political cost for Putin.

this is a great little vignette about the role experts serve (served?) in the structures of power. obviously the demand for austerity existed; but you can't just say that outright, you need the policy validated by credentials, by numbers or research or knowledge. so you find it.
it takes me back to one of my favorite talks about "the experts" which is about the field where I found myself. the fact that the excel sheet you're pointing to is wrong or the book you've written isn't accurate or whatever isn't the point.
there's something about expertise where showing the work or having the excel spreadsheet matters more than what those things say; whole professions that exist as a sort of fetish object that power needs to have.
Labour Together has been caught spying on journalists.
As one former Labour MP admitted this weekend: “This is dark s***.”
But before the Labour Together scandal, there was the “Centre for Countering Digital Hate”.
This is the story of Morgan McSweeney and Imran Ahmed…🧵

We know that Morgan McSweeney concealed over £730,000 in donations to Labour Together, but some of LT’s money was redirected to another McSweeney project: the Centre for Countering Digital Hate.

One of McSweeney’s co-directors at CCDH was Imran Ahmed.
In January 2020, Ahmed and Countdown presenter Rachel Riley attended a meeting at Twitter’s London office, where they demanded the removal of broadcaster + politician George Galloway from the platform.
Twitter refused.

I told my therapist,
“I keep falling for people who never really choose me back.”
She didn't give me comfort.
Hearing her, my whole body went still.
Here's what she just replied:

“That’s because you’re still trying to get the love you never got.”
We don’t chase people because we love pain.
We chase people because, at some point,
we were taught love must be chased.
Not received.
Not felt.
But earned, through performance, perfection, persistence.

If love felt like a reward in your childhood,
you’ll keep confusing emotional unavailability with intimacy.
Because now, rejection doesn’t just hurt.
It feels familiar.
