Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

How Elon Musk is managing Grok now. It is both ridiculous and worrying that AIs and social media platforms are being actively redesigned to parrot disinformation.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

In response to a Q from @maxrn.bsky.social, Lander said: "This is a critical time to have a mayor who will stand up to ICE and stand up to Donald Trump... I am very grateful to the other mayoral candidates who came out here to call for my release and I really hope New Yorkers will elect one of us."

At Fort Bragg, Donald Trump crossed a dangerous line. Where are the generals who should be speaking up in defense of the military's rules and traditions, asks @RadioFreeTom?

Candidly, as a civ-mil watcher, this scene at Bragg is freaking me out more than anything else that's happened so far. Just an absolute collapse of professional military norms.

I’m at O’Hare airport, where, 14 years ago this week, instead of getting on my flight home, I exited the airport, took the blue line back into the city to chase down a man I had met that weekend and totally fallen for. Anyway now we’ve been married for 11 years and have 8yo twins.

I apologize: I assumed that Democrats, impotently frozen for months after the election, had thawed enough to war game how they would respond to very predictable escalations, but it seems that most haven’t.

These are crimes. They're committing crimes. And when people understandably protest the fact that they're committing crimes, they're shooting flashbangs at them.
