AI helpfully changed "error" to "blunder" and "linear regression" to "straight relapse" in this lovely example of AI assisted publishing that you can share with your students and colleagues #LLM #ChatGPT #LOL #research #rstats 🤣🤣🤣

Here’s the thing about the tariffs: there will be no “short term pain”. Only long term. Every time a company realizes they can get away with charging you extra they don’t ever lower the price again. They just gouge. Whatever price hikes there are will be here for good.
