Law professor Josh Blackman called the NYT out on politically labeling conservatives more often than liberals, and editor Patrick Healy acknowledged he was right:
“It can come off like The Times treats liberals as normal and conservatives as unique and worthy of labeling.”
I recently interviewed Pangram’s @max_spero_ about the tool’s revolving door of controversies, his jihad against AI slop, and how he feels about being the internet’s AI slop cop. Read here for free: thefp.com/p/two-drinks-max-s…
Yeah, Pangram's false positive rate is higher for shorter texts-- especially ones hovering just over its 50 word minimum. I'm genuinely curious to see proof of the false positive you found. DM me?
Pangram is exposing a new strain of AI derangement that I find fascinating. The tool *obviously* works as advertised. The impulse to assail its integrity with false claims comes, I think, from a deeper fear that AI has already irrevocably changed how we express ourselves—from mundane emails to literary fiction. It feels like something has been stolen from us.
If these people can convince themselves AI isn't actually that good at detecting human writing, then surely the world they feared—with its job loss, its cybersecurity risks, its deluge of AI slop—isn't as close as people say.
@max_spero_ cocreated one of the most accurate AI writing detectors around. His critics claim his software is “snake oil” and “biased” against people of color. Can he fend off the haters and stop the AI slopocalypse? My latest profile:

I interviewed @max_spero_ , who wants to mop up the slop with his AI-writing detector, Pangram. Meet the man behind the 99+ percent accurate AI detector the internet loves to hate. thefp.com/p/two-drinks-max-s…

NY AG hopeful Komatireddy pulls within just 6 points of Dem incumbent Tish James after debate: bombshell poll trib.al/4oedY2W

Komatireddy, who lives in Manhattan with her husband and four children, is speaking to that sense of danger and disarray, felt by New Yorkers across the political spectrum.

Everyone’s asking whether @sarithaforny’s debate victory changes the AG race. I spent a day with her in the Bronx and Queens last week, and voters told me two things:
“I like her honesty.” and: “I just hope she isn't harmed by the weakness at the top of the ticket.”
After last night’s debate, the differences between Letitia James and me could not be more clear.
I joined Fox & Friends this morning to discuss what’s at stake in this election, our sharply different approaches to public safety, and my plan to bring accountability back to the Attorney General’s Office.
