While I'm sure that some people were cool on The Godfather when it came out, it was the highest-grossing film of 1972 and won Best Picture at the 1973 Oscars. That's not exactly a good example of a movie being vindicated in retrospect.

J, K. Rowling, skull enthusiast:

Khelif, who went on to win Olympic gold despite the harassment, reportedly filed a lawsuit alleging cyberbullying against Rowling (Elon Musk is also named in the suit). Shortly after the lawsuit became public on August 13, Rowling went silent on X, leading to speculation from many onlookers that she had pushed her transphobic narrative too far. On August 23, though, she again appeared on the platform, spreading more false and misleading commentary on Khelif. Her first post was a quote from a transphobic hit piece against Khelif by Colin Wright, the former managing editor of the far-right website Quillette.

I first read this comment before having coffee and thought that "R. Scientism" was a joke about Asimov's robot novels.

People out there acting like "research" using LLMs is ethical

I got as far as "Dimes Square bohemians" in the fourth sentence before realizing that everything in that article I recognized, I would regret.
