in my own experience only, as LLMs get “better,” all I am seeing is the production of texts that are just as wrong as they ever were, in ways that are just as fatally bad, but which now appear more consistently plausible to someone who doesn’t know what they’re talking about

Yeah, “adults start to learn less well once they become middle-aged but they’re also more stable then” is an equally valid read of the same data! But not one that folks who want to see their age as the definition of unmarked “adulthood” are as likely to choose

2. I’m so hopeful in Pope Leo, and I pray for unity.
“…that we may be one.”

A noticeable trend here: people who challenge the Trump administration are often mocked in the same way by officials — by questioning whether they hold the title given to them.
Note: Kelly is a retired Navy Captain, Black is a pastor, and Budde is a bishop.

It used to be the case that a mission of forming young people for leadership was understood to be exclusively aimed at boys. That's no longer true. Hegseth wants to get back something that can't be restored—the culture-wide assumption that power and influence should belong only to (white) men.

This is the Scout Law (say it with me!): "A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent." Scouting America hasn't changed its values at all. It has simply recognized that they aren't exclusively male.
Is it a 'masculine value' to melt down about some new fake shit every week?

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪
