tЯump has begun lifting American sanctions on companies that sell weapons to the Russian military.
The Russians have finally offered enough money to the tЯump family and tЯump is 100% on Russia's side now.

All the 60 Minutes hooplaaside, I’ve now actually watched the segment that Bari Weiss tried to bury, and here’s what’s clear:
The Trump Administration knowingly sent migrants to a concentration camp to be beaten and tortured.
Once the drama settles, let us remember that THAT is the story here.

Bari Weiss lied in her memo. She said segment didn't report administration's legal justification (it does in the very first sentence) and didn't say how many detainees had been charged with crimes as opposed to just those who were convicted (it does). www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

If you're a staffer at 60 Minutes who worked on that CECOT segment that got yanked by Bari Weiss at the last minute, figure out a way to leak it. Not saying it's an easy decision or there won't be consequences, but ask yourself why you got into journalism in the first place.

CBS News EIC Bari Weiss had concerns about the CECOT piece, I’m told. The network decided to hold the segment pending, among other things, comment or an interview with White House officials next year…

My standard response is "tell me, in specific detail, how exactly I'll be 'left behind,'" and to date not a single techbro has ever answered the question. "You'll be left behind" is a statement of religious faith, not business fact, and should be treated as such.
So the “figure out how to use it lest you be left behind” replies about ‘AI’ that have been popping up here strike me as inauthentic but also kind of funny because they grant the point that rather than an automation panacea these technologies are quite difficult to figure out how to use effectively

You see this with every “EdTech” product so it makes sense we’d see it again with AI. “Imagine the ideal, highly motivated, diligent, curious, self-directed student, here’s how they could do great things with this”
Wow, amazing, ok how will the other 99% of students use it.

The pro-AI argument is often made this way, which is why it's so often appealing: present an ideal use case ("It's a great first step in research!") and ignore the fact that 99.7% of the actual use cases will not look anything like that.

In the summer of 1950 most US newspapers ran an AP story about how race had become the main issue in the upcoming Georgia governor's race. Segregationist Herman Tallmadge, governor from '47 to '55 and then a Senator until 1981 made a name for himself by refusing to "apologize for being a white man."

This is a line that has long been used by white supremacists to advance the politics of white supremacy.
Vance is using it that way today, just as Rivers did 70 years ago -- to warn against the "mongrelization" of America and to urge his fellow gutter racists to be unapologetic in their racism.

Right, this line Vance used was a very common line used by segregationists.
Here's Rep. Mendel Rivers (D-SC) reacting to the Brown decision, which he said "would bring mongrelization of the Caucasian race. He added that he for one won't apologize for being a white man."

100% this. Do non-historians think all the answers are on the Internet and in the training modules?
The real work is in what’s not digitized. But also in asking the questions that get us there and help us make sense of it.

No, absolutely not.
Most archival materials have not been digitized, many would be illegible to AI (handwriting etc) even if they were. But the question came out of the research. There’s no way AI can do that.
