Surprised that The American Revolution isn’t preempted in #Florida. This is no longer the way American history is allowed to be taught in this state, including in its public universities. Congrats to PBS and Ken Burns for providing proper context. #AmericanRevolution

So unsurprising.
"Across all 6,510 evaluations, ChatGPT never once mentioned that an article had been retracted, corrected, or had any ethical issues. It did not seem to connect the retraction notice, often present in the article’s title or on the publisher’s page, with the content it was asked to assess."
"Relying on LLMs for literature summaries without independent verification could lead to the unknowing citation and perpetuation of false information."

More frequent & deeper sunny day #flooding in #Florida? Duh. According to @bmcnoldy.bsky.social Miami is in the midst of an unprecedented #KingTide event, with water above flood level since Oct 2 and forecast to continue as such until Oct 25.
