# This Weeks Discussion Theme: [Consoom Trumpler] (https://arete.network/polls/39f7e396-11a0-4c41-9cf4-deaf34f80341/)
In this weekly we consoooooooooom Trumpler! Unless you been living in a log cabin off grid for the last two weeks you likely know Trump has been arrested. So, what did he do? They must have finally gotten him for his trips to Epstein Island? Oops, wrong guy. Wait oh it must have been for his son’s shady business deals with Ukraine and China. Dang, wrong guy again. Oh, wait, it has something to do with that corn star Hurricane Denise? Wasn’t all this nonsense settled like years ago? Who knows... Just need to crack open a few more Dylan Mulvaney Bud Lights and turn on CNN. Is there any sports ball on?
 
 
 
 
 
Discussion ideas:
 
 
 
* What is your opinion on Trumps arrest?
* Is it really campaign finance fraud or just weaponized lawfare?
* Do you think Trumps arrest have harmed his prospects for 2024 or helped?

# Previous Weeklies:
* [Master List](https://communities.win/c/ConsumeProduct/wiki/ConPro-Weekly/)

Content mirroring between [scored.co/c/ConsumeProduct](https://scored.co/c/ConsumeProduct) and [arete.network/b/ConsumeProduct](https://arete.network/b/ConsumeProduct) is now ready for an experimental test run. There are bound to be some issues starting out and changes may be reverted if anything goes catastrophically wrong.
   
I have tried my best to minimize the number of requests to the Scored API as much as possible, which means that feed updates won't happen in real time, but they should still be frequent enough to display fresh content (currently a 15 minute interval). Old posts will be updated when accessed directly or when listed on feeds.
   
I've made sure to respect content deletion and not retain deleted content, so as long as everything works as intended, content deleted by users on scored.co should become unavailable as soon as someone attempts to view it, if not prior to that through feed updates detecting discrepancies.
   
Any posts or comments you make on Arete Network's Consume Product board will be automatically crossposted to Scored by a bot account.
   
Mirrored content is by default hidden from Arete's front page, but you may choose to enable it in [your settings](https://arete.network/settings/), or turn it off entirely if you so desire.

The name 'Lucas Gage' has recently been doing the rounds on X, a former 'anti-semite' who let typical liberal, individualizing mental schemata willfully blind him (again) to the Jewish Problem. Yes, there are no patterns to be seen concerning the Jews, we should never attempt to connect dots around the Jews, goyim. There are certainly bad non-Jews, and perhaps there are some good Jews, and all people are just individuals, and all the rest of the usual Judeo-Western clap-trap that infests Judaized minds.

Now what has incensed many of those who remain his X followers, what catapulted him back into X feeds, is that he spoke recently to the utterly loathsome Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi. Mizrachi is the rabbi who recently 'debated' Sneako. But Mizrachi is not of any interest here: I redirect anyone who wants to know what I think of Mizrachi's debate 'skills' to a comment I made ten days earlier. https://scored.co/c/ConsumeProduct/p/1ATC9LMXRh/tkd/c/4ed5IVrN9ov

Personally, I never followed Lucas Gage: I saw him as too crass, crude, and unrefined for my tastes, and generally repellant. This is why something *immediately* struck me as bizarre when I clicked his X profile. Gage's X bio has a link to a PhilPapers page. Now anyone who knows a little about academic philosophy has likely came across this website. How could someone like this be a contributer to this website? He does not seem in the least bit intellectual.

I scrolled down his list of 'publications'. I thought to myself: There is no way that Lucas Gage knows anything about metaphysics, epistemology, or anything like that. I doubt that he could even define these terms if put on the spot.

Swiftly it struck me: this isn't a list of his publications at all. 'His' publications are *entirely* AI-generated. To double check, I pasted several paragraphs of his papers into an AI detection website. The result: *100% AI-generated.* Every single time. Not a single sentence was identified as authored by a human.

That's right. Lucas Gage is palming off some twenty-two AI-generated writings as his own work.

Now a defender of his might say: 'How do you know that the AI detection website is accurate? Perhaps it has falsely flagged his writing'. I started a philosophical conversation with ChatGPT, and, when sent, pasted my own text into the detector. The result: 100% human-generated. I pasted ChatGPT's reply: 100% AI-generated. I did this back and forth a few times and the result was consistent. It never identified any part of my writing as AI-generated nor any part of ChatGPT's writing as human-generated. Consequently, we can declare AI detectors more than accurate enough for the purposes of exposing charlatans.

Now why should anyone take seriously this man who all of a sudden has disingenuously begun pretending to be some kind of expert philosopher, when all that he is capable of doing insofar as philosophy is concerned is to prompt an AI to produce something that *prima facie* appears to be the work of someone versed in contemporary metaphysics and epistemology? There is absolutely *zero* chance that Gage even understands what he has had AI ghostwrite for him, these words, not of man but of machine, that he passes off in his own name.

Forget the merits versus demerits of 'anti-semitism'; forget the odious Mizrachi. When somebody mentions the name 'Lucas Gage', the correct response is: 'Ah, the charlatan who pretends to be a philosopher, whose supposed philosophical writings are all AI-generated, are none of his own. Who cares what such a lowly man has to say regarding the Jews?'

Indeed. Who cares what such a lowly man has to say regarding absolutely *anything* at all?

In conclusion, Lucas Gage is a philosophical charlatan. If he or anyone else says that he is a philosopher, possessing a great mind, or any such twaddle, recall that all of his supposed works are merely the works of AI.

The discovery that this is so - that he has passed off 22 completely AI-generated writings in his name - should be used to laugh him off of the internet, to consign him to the ignominy that he rightly deserves.

Edit: I have seen a slew of X replies that claim that Gage earlier came out as 'gay'. Now I find this strange, for I thought that he was a father. Just how a father and 'anti-semite' can become a Jew-loving homosexual is anyone's guess.
