Measles is one of those nightmare diseases that, if it hadn't been killing people for hundreds of years, people would ABSOLUTELY be pushing conspiracy theories about right now. It's too nasty in too many different directions to seem natural. But oh, boy, it sure is.

"will you vote for Newsom over a Republican candidate if he's the nominee" is exactly the same question as "is it okay to say the n-word if it's the only way to stop a nuke going off in new york city"
Where do they get the idea about “absolute loyalty” to Newsom of all people? Like do they assume that any pushback to bad faith attacks or misinfo means that Dems are super into that person or what ?

♈️ ❤️ That gap between wanting someone and wanting to stay unattached is doing weird things to your brain right now. You're probably overthinking every move, second-guessing whether getting closer means selling out your whole "I don't do labels" thing.

Text to text to text comparison develops deep and meaningful analysis and multimodal literacy skills. Just some examples from the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Students can create their own version of a part of the story as a comic and share their individual interpretation.

Trying to reduce errors in LLMs is like making more fuel efficient gas cars. Maybe it’s a good thing, but the problem is the fundamental nature of the technology (statistical patterns or internal combustion), so the only way to avoid the problem (wrong info, pollution) is to use a different tool.
OpenAI ”acknowledged in its own research that LLMs will always produce hallucinations due to fundamental mathematical constraints that cannot be solved through better engineering, marking a significant admission from one of the AI industry’s leading companies.”

Hot off the presses is Gwen Muranaka's latest comic on being Nikkei! The time for “Kodomo no Tame Ni”—“for the sake of our children,” is now.
Resist: Kodomo no Tame Ni
Kodomo no Tame Ni—“for the sake of our children” is a phrase often cited by Japanese Americans to describe the sacrifices our grandparents and great-grandparents made in order for us to live in America. I think of that phrase in the context of what is happening today in our country. In 1942 it was the …

The U.S. won't even fund necessary programs and infrastructure for basic literacy or media literacy.
But we're supposed to believe we will do better with AI literacy? And that we should be looked to as global influencers?

Only 4 sheriff's offices in Indiana are part of ICE's 287(g) program. Three are veeeery red (and small); the fourth is large Hamilton County, which went Trump +6. I was just looking at the sheriff's candidates who filed there: The sheriff is not running for reelection but only two Republicans filed.
