YES. i bristle at language i see used to describe what LLMs do, like “thinking” or “analyzing” or “hallucinating,” because all of these verbs imply that LLMs are in any way cognizant and capable of human-like behavior. there is no behavior! it’s just algorithmic dice-rolling with words, that’s it.

1/ I'm not the first person to be enraged by 47's response to the Reiners' murder & I won't be the last.
But there's something I want to point out as a psychiatrist. 47's Malignant Narcissism includes *paranoid delusions*—the hallmark of which is that you think what happens is always about *you*.

Today is the anniversary of the Sandy Hook shooting. There are no words to express the grief and anger that our young people continue to be slaughtered in school.
And for what? More guns?
This is a policy failure — and a moral one. Enough.
My heart is with Providence today.

The DOJ is suing to stop California’s redistricting map. Apparently vote approved maps are a problem, but partisan gerrymanders done without public input are just democracy working as intended?

Jeffrey Epstein [jeevacation@gmail.com]
He is digging around again -- not clear if its another book/or expanded paperback version. Was asking me all sorts of questions about why you hired Ken Starr. I told him I had no idea - I think he is doing some Trump-related digging too.
Anyway, for what its worth...

Given what was in the emails today so far this strikes me as an entirely real possibility.
“i have met some very bad people , none as bad as trump. not one decent cell in his body. so yes- dangerous”
“i have met some very bad people , none as bad as trump. not one decent cell in his body. so yes- dangerous”
I think we need to start visualizing the Trump Presidency ending, and socialize it. For it is the right thing to do for the country and the American people.
At this point we have to assume that if the Epstein files are released they will
- end the Trump Presidency
- implicate many other prominent Republicans
- destroy the careers of AG Bondi and his other defenders
This is beginning to feel like the greatest scandal in American history.

This isn't "internal recriminations." It's voters expressing overwhelming opposition to what the people they elected to represent them are doing, and anyone--either in journalism or politics--who characterizes it as infighting is either not seeing and hearing what's right in front of them or lying.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.
