NEW: The prosecutor who took over the Georgia case concluded that he couldn't press forward with it. His decision to drop the charges was quickly approved by Judge McAfee, ending the last remaining criminal case Trump faced.

OpenAI says they aren't liable for the suicide of a user their chat bot urged to kill himself because suicide is a violation of the TOS

Can't build a brand with you talking in the background.
An older adult sitting in a lawn chair in a kitchen while cooking thanksgiving dinner. His son calls from the other room, 'How's the turkey looking, dad? Lookin' good, kiddo! Can you keep it down? I'm about to go live. Dad. This is how you build a brand! HEY EVERYONE! IT'S POP-POP'S COOKIN' GOOD LOOKIN' AND WE'RE LIVE RIGHT NOW MY KID'S KITCHEN. SMALLER THAN MINE, WE'RE MAKING WORK! WE'VE GOT THE TURKEY IN THE OVEN AND BASTED IT JUST FEW MINUTES AGO so WE'RE UNLOCKING LOT OF FLAVOR RIGHT NOW. GOING SHOW YOU GUYS AN UPDATE IN A MINUTE, BUT FIRST LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS GRAVY... Overly attended cooking? No such thing. Stand by your pan this Thanksgiving!

The emails reveal the special training given to FBI personnel working on what it called the “Epstein Transparency Project.” In some instances they referred to it as the “Special Redaction Project.” The training entailed PowerPoint slide presentations and video instruction on how to review the files.

The argument isn’t that Trump does many unconstitutional things, therefore all orders are unconstitutional. It’s that specific orders are unconstitutional, therefore they are unconstitutional.
“Men, we all know FDR does many unconstitutional things and you swore an oath to the Constitution. When you hit the beach, remember that you are legally obligated to not follow unlawful orders. If you refuse to follow unlawful orders, I have your back. Good luck.”

this is their understanding of sedition in the context of lawful/unlawful orders
It’s early in the morning on June 6, 1944. You are a PFC infantryman in the 29th Infantry Division. Your assigned sector is Dog Green on Omaha Beach. You are on a troop ship in the English Channel, moments away from climbing down a cargo net with your full combat load onto a waiting landing craft. Just before you get the order to disembark, your commander tells you and your buddies to gather round and hear a speech from a serving US senator who made the journey onto your ship. He has a head like a scrotum and is a retired Navy captain who had served in WWI (both facts he endlessly reminds you about). He gives a speech: “Men, we all know FDR does many unconstitutional things and you swore an oath to the Constitution. When you hit the beach, remember that you are legally obligated to not follow unlawful orders. If you refuse to follow unlawful orders, I have your back. Good luck.” What did that speech just do to your morale and will to fight, the morale and will to fight of your buddies, and the cohesiveness and combat effectiveness of your unit? What did it do? What the Sedition 6 did is no different.

Update on the Blaze story defaming the Capitol officer as the J6 pipe bomber from CBS.

What's scary here is that ODNI sounds like crazy town...they drafted a memo with confidential info based on Steve Baker's nutso hallucinations that even Tulsi Gabbard is embarrassed by? And did similar re: Kirk /

"elevate charismatic figures such as Alan Dershowitz"

-____________-
Bari Weiss says she wants to use her new perch at CBS News to “redraw the lines of what falls in the 40 yards of acceptable debate” in American political and cultural life. She says the aim is to sideline voices like Hasan Piker, Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes, and elevate “charismatic” figures such as Alan Dershowitz and Dana Loesch who reflect “where the vast majority of Americans actually are.”

I'm so tired of people telling me to have students critique LLM outputs. I'm just going to print this on little cards and hand them out
sonjadrimmer.bsky.social Sonja Drimmer @sonjadrimmer.bsky.social · 2d
I will add the following: our students lack the research skills required to audit an LLM essay for errors. They don’t arrive on campus with these skills; we teach it to them over four long years. So throwing freshmen in the deep end and saying “swim your way to a shore of rectitude” is folly.
