this is something I’ve pointed at in conversations about the affordances of LLMs being, currently, broken: most “normal person” users I talk to tend to use short, conversational prompts, because the input box is small and the interface looks like a chat this does not lead to good output

At least seven of the cited sources in the ‘MAHA report’ do not even actually exist. For example, the document listed epidemiologist Katherine Keyes as first author of a study on anxiety in adolescents… “The paper cited is not a real paper that I or my colleagues were involved with,” Keyes said.

For those of you who knew Victoria Brownworth on Twitter, she passed away from cancer yesterday. She was a fearless journalist who reported on AIDS in the 80s (when Reagan was ignoring it), lifted up the LGBTQ community, & rooted out corruption. Her wife, Maddy Gold, died of cancer in 2022.

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few: 1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

You want to know why Thompson, Tapper, et al. spend their days hassling Dems? Because Dems care. Dems react. Dems make them feel like they have agenda-setting power. Dems beg & scrape for their approval. Republicans don't give a shit. Writing about GOP crimes doesn't bring the same ego boost.

Not the point of the article (it's about the anti-deepfakes law that was passed), but I do think it's important to note that Trump has only signed six bills into law since he regained office. Almost nothing he's been doing has been laws. They've been pronouncements www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

Every so often, political media will go out of its way to create a story and then externalize it as though it happened naturally at the hands of some other party. "Continued questions" from whom? "Emerging" from where? This is police shooting-speak.

Moody’s downgraded the credit rating of the US for the first time since 1917, stripping the country of its last perfect credit rating. The move could rattle financial markets and push up interest rates, creating an extra financial burden for Americans already struggling with tariffs and inflation.
