Sir Terry Pratchett is best understood as one of the most interesting, deeply ethical practical (I would say Pragmatist but I cede to actual experts) philosophers of the late 20th Century who just happened to work in deconstructed fantasy literature as his medium.

Die ständigen Spar- und Kürzungsdebatten führen wir übrigens nur, weil sich unsere Regierung weigert, fossile Subventionen abzubauen, Finanzkriminalität konsequent zu bekämpfen und Steuerprivilegien für Superreiche abzuschaffen. Das kann man nicht oft genug wiederholen.

The only safe place to use LLMs is in a field where you are already skilled enough to know you would never trust AI. So you might as well not.
We’ve got to start insisting on this Catch 22 being understood in all workplaces: AI only replaces workers too incompetent to notice it doesn’t work.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles
Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

This electoral strategy pushes politics further to the right. As decades of academic research have shown, it serves mainly to help far-right parties while hurting centre-left parties, which end up losing (young, female) progressive voters and barely gaining the (male) reactionary voters they court.

Also a great example of why LLMs are not a search engine. It's not giving you background information. It's doing pattern recognition to give you an answer. It cannot evaluate what information it retrieves from its dataset or scrapes from the web. It just jams shit together.
