It is now confirmed from multiple sources that ICE shot a legal observer dead on Portland in Minneapolis between 34th and 33rd street. The victim is dead

This seems pretty inevitable when the left party becomes obsessed with executing the right's agenda.

"My opponents are racist fascists, but I'm going to steal their ideas on immigration" impresses no one but the right-wing media, who will destroy you anyway.
It's essentially just this. Most people's personal experiences are fine, but they're convinced that the country is a hellscape.

Down year for me when it comes to movies. I haven't had much motivation to watch. Also, I watched the first six Star Trek movies, so Nimoy and the rest should be included with Shatner.

Most people's justification for using GEN AI, that I've heard, is that "everyone else" or "China" will use it and they're afraid of losing some kind of advantage.

All the evidence I'm aware of demonstrates that people who use genAI are, in the end, at a disadvantage.
When universities tout their partnerships with OpenAI, parents, faculty and everyone really should be asking how they intend to account for the increasing evidence that their technology is hurting people, especially young and vulnerable people. How many instances of harm will be enough?
Uh… check out what ChatGPT allegedly told a man before he killed his mother and then himself.

Look, I'm sure that Nolan's adaptation of "The Odyssey" will be fun, but I highly doubt it will be as good as the original.

Also: I've said it before, and I'll say it again:

Publishing, let me write a media literacy book, I am begging you. I keep being told that there's no appetite for this...

But how can there NOT be, when it's an urgent and pressing issue, especially with how we aggregate news + use of AI?

Agreed. It's heartbreaking when I see teachers telling kids to "just use AI for the art part" because it can do it "better" or "faster". It can't. Please don't do this to kids. You have no idea whose artistic spirit you're crushing. Same with writing. Help them figure out how to do it THEMSELVES.
I'm a comics creator. Every time I lead a workshop with kids, I see their absolute joy in drawing with their OWN HANDS. If you deny kids that joy by forcing them to type prompts into a computer, you're failing as an educator.

Shame on you for this.

The real harsh truth is those covid revisionist authors and the book critics cheering them on all support eugenics. They think that the suffering of Long Covid will never happen to them because they have better genes.
Everyone involved in the publication and promotion of this book should be embarrassed. It's not a "harsh truth" that COVID mitigation was a mistake, it's ghoulish and false.

The thing is, AI is chronically unreliable as a purveyor of facts. So in claims such as the one made below, replace "AI" with "Cliff from Cheers" and see how good or sensible the idea subsequently sounds.
What about this is controversial? Beginning an inquiry by using AI to survey material is a very normal and appropriate use.

Absolutely right.

AI might be able to summarize (poorly) what we currently know, but a major goal of historical research is to find the hidden surprises out there.

Let me illustrate …
Not a historian but like to research. The AI might summarize what I'm looking for, but it doesn't find what I'm *not* looking for. The book on the shelf next to the one I wanted. The insight in chapter 6 based on the quote I needed from chapter 4.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
This is so disgusting.

Tarantino is entitled to his opinion about which actors he doesn't like, but his being so weirdly mean-spirited about it says more about him than anyone he's criticizing.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”

Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.
