I assume you are from the US with little knowledge of history. Neander (ever wondered where the Neanderthals got their name from) was German. Early anthropologists were German or French. So yes, early anthropologists were all (really) white Europeans.

BTW I'm actually surprised you wouldn't think of Jews as "white". But I'm not familiar with US American raceology. Are you from the white supremacy fraction?

But all of this misses the point of my statement.

I assume they dropped it because they couldn't monetize it, i.e. spam you with personalized ads and the like. Probably the same reason why RSS News feeds were dropped.

I don't think you got the last sentence right.

I once noticed that people who are used to quickly read tons of texts often don't get the meaning of more winded sentences right. (I assume chatgpt would have the same issue.) But the fault was mine of course, since I did not distinguish between texts written to convey information and "literary" texts written for amusement.

In the age of LLMs it makes you wonder though, if all this writing advice isn't out of date. Concise texts are for AIs, wordy texts are for humans.

They knead before they sit down. If you lived in grass land with the gras being higher than you, you'd probably knew why.

My comment doesn't have anything to do with AI per se but with the hybris and inhumanity of people in the AI bubble.

Love, respect, and humility have a small chance to save the world. AI? I don't know. I have my doubts it will improve human interaction.

There are several devices like that. But I guess most people use their phones + bt keyboard.

While "In the Penal Colony" actually is really funny and readable, I don't think much humor could have been lost.

I don't think you use the word autistic in any meaningful way.
