Bluesky is passing around a 60 Minutes segment like we're teenagers passing around our parents' porn collection.
Except we're all 38.
And we have our own porn.
And we adequately compensate the workers in that porn.
Also this website had our parents porn collection before that 60 Minutes segment

I haven't watched network TV in years, let alone CBS, let alone 60 minutes, and I am sure I am not alone. But now, that the segment is available online, *a lot* more people are watching it than if they just aired it.

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.
ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

Is there faction of the Republican Party that's not MAGA? Seems they've consumed the GOP. All that remains are divisions *within* MAGA, as in more or less sycophantic to Trump, culture warriors, tax breaks, isolationists, NatCs (national conservatives but with a Z too), etc.

If Christians take this task up, we can create a better world for our #Muslim neighbors and ourselves - this is the stuff that a pluralistic democracy needs to fight fascism. Pastors have a big role to play in educating their congregants about other religions and building tolerance.

Trans youth healthcare is based in decades of research and supported by every major medical organization in the US. Under RFK Jr, a handpicked panel produced a dodgy report claiming otherwise.
It's a clear example of Kennedy's war on science. So why aren't news organizations treating it that way?

Also, there is a world beyond the internet. And that's where historians work. (it's called an archive where most of it isn't digitized or searchable if it is.)

While I want to agree on principle, I wonder if the issue is prompting? Would the AI have been able to find the nuggets you were looking for if it had been directed to do so? Or is it an issue of you not knowing the questions to ask until you've read the source material yourself?

If you bought a calculator and it EVEN ONCE told you 2+2=5, you’d throw it out and demand a refund.
If you had an employee who lied confidently to you, and was easily caught, you’d fire them.
LLMs are the untrustworthy calculator and the confident liar.

suspect a big reason why many academics and others who work in areas where getting facts RIGHT is key are disinterested in using LLMs for research:
they’ve tried it, they keep noticing major errors in output, and they conclude that having to verify all that doesn’t actually save them time.
