"It is quite telling that not only a gull appeared at the time of the new Pope's election, but also a gull chick."
Is it telling, though?

State funding is political.
Regulation or lack thereof is political.
Copyright, plagiarism, and privacy are political.
Programming specifics are political too. Assuming thereās nothing political in any of the data LLMs train on is asinine. Are any topics off limits? Any answers it shouldnāt give?

Turning a Technology into a concrete thing that does something requires a lot of decisions, and most of those decisions are about what NOT to do.
This is not solely a commercial pressure, but the nature of the game - the ways scientists package their own tools is often extremely limited.

A lot of this is deeply connected with white supremacy in the US: the best weapon white supremacy has is being able to operate in the open, with undeniable effect, while nobody is allowed to mention it.

I barely saw the cops, not like at previous protests. And no one standing menacingly around with AR 15s like at the Janesville protest in 2017.

We definitely had more supportive honks than middle fingers too from people driving past.

So, Jon Marks was the professor of one of the first college classes I ever took during my first semester at Cal: Introduction to biological anthropology. That course is a huge part of why Iām a biologicalĀ anthropologist today.
