Is it doxxing if Franco publicly replied to him on twitter ? Sounds like the kid has realized that anti-semitism is very cool in ivy-league colleges right now and doubling down will be rewarded.
experiences with Jews were not “pleasant,” after a NYC startup he had applied to reached out
I can't imagine that a 19 yr old kid from a Virginia exurb has had many 'experiences with Jews'. He's spent 1 year at Cornell (admittedly very Jewish) after transferring from Virginia tech. When would he have worked for Jews before to have formed such a strong opinion ? Sounds like programming more than genuine experiences.
Cynically, the kid is from Virginia and studies labor relations at Cornell. That screams 'I want to be a future politician', and antisemitism is table stakes for 19 year old college populists.
In my experience, it is quite difficult to tell liberal college-aged Jews apart from their white counter parts. And the Jews at liberal schools are usually the anti-Israel kind.
Quoting myself from 2 months ago
Conventional politics of the future is antisemitic. There is bipartisan agreement on it among the youth.

Real Football is more like fighting than other sports.
For most of the game, you are whittling down your opponent. The inevitable hook (goal) is the result of minutes of build up before.

That can't be right ? American sports are known to be stop and go.
Hockey is the only one with a faster cadence. And honestly, their fans have some pretty good chants. (Or at least my school did)

Yep. I paid 500$ for a group stage game. Nothing to do with status. World cup games in your city are a once in life time opportunity. You pay so you can remember the game.
The NY knicks winning a championship is a less than once in a lifetime opportunity. There are middle class fans who would sell their life savings for it. $20k for courtside seats is frankly under priced. It's pocket change for billionaires.

The other thing is it’s the blackification of celebration. Where you need to do things loud and visually to show how much it means to you
Come on. Sports are a worldwide phenomenon, and Americans of all flavors are the infamous for being mild in their celebrations*. In fact, it is kind of sad that Americans have such a corporate relationship with their sport. If you can't be loud and in-tears after an emotional moment for your team, then are you even a real fan ?

Most boring survey responder ever, reporting for duty.
Question, are you using Opus 4.8 Max ?
People's experience with claude is heavily dependent on which model you use.
100%. I see this exact pattern in coding as well. Senior engineers are empowered, junior engineers create more slop and headaches.
Pyramid schemes, by definition are immune to touching grass. They are fraudulent from day 1. It's like saying "now that we found a fully intact fossil of a dinosaur, support for creationism will collapse". If the pyramid scheme of Academia was to collapse, it would have happened by now.
Every layer of abstraction takes you away from the raw experience of the science itself. It's like playing football by mashing buttons in Fifa.
I worry about a 'medium is the message' style collapse of science. Scientists will only investigate topics that feel amenable to ai-agents. In such a world, computation gets reduced to combinatorics. I hate it. In a real numbers shaped world, AI would never intent complex numbers. In a classical physics world, AI would never suggest a relativistic model. These are not combinatoric outcomes. They're ...... 'romantic'. Ai-agents are another step in what's a century long erosion of romance from science. (statistics -> RCTs -> computers -> internet -> ai).
