I use Claude (an AI) to scan my posts for spelling and grammar errors. On the most recent post (about the East Wing, link below), I got a really amazing addendum.

New paper!! Hermann Wigers and I used OpenAI to generate and analyse 11,800 stories "from" 236 countries: Norwegian stories, Chinese stories, American stories, etc. We found that GPT-4o-mini tells the same story over and over. open-research-europe.ec.europa.eu/articles/5-2...

Everything about this is a tragedy, every level, from cheated freelancers to authors obscured to readers who don’t get served either.

The AfD's AI delusion: How Germany’s far right fantasizes about using AI to replace migrants.
Just like JD Vance speech in Munich, the AfD’s electoral program is not just inhumane – it’s completely incoherent. This is not a bug, it's a feature.
