- I quit. How can I be expected to find weird links when [simulating a Yudkowsky is a non-joke headline](https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/pNcFYZnPdXyL2RfgA/using-gpt-eliezer-against-chatgpt-jailbreaking)?

- I can't decide between [“If this result is real, someone’s going to get a Nobel Prize”](https://www.quantamagazine.org/asymmetry-detected-in-the-distribution-of-galaxies-20221205/) and "7σ" as headlines here.
- What's next for computer performance? Brendan Gregg has [some thoughts](https://www.brendangregg.com/Slides/SREcon2022_ComputingPerformance/).
- [go/weeklyweird](https://tailscale.com/blog/golink/)
- Critical information like [the unemployment rate of Clock Town](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CWu38xPLMT8&ab_channel=AnyAustin) and [who wrote the Disney Channel jingle](https://youtu.be/b_rjBWmc1iQ) are only available thanks to hard-working documentarians who refuse to leave stones unturned.
