“The AI is inevitable” discourse is very cavalier with words (kind of like ChatGPT, I hear). The most useful machine learning isn’t LLMs, but the public has been trained to think ML = LLMs. in one of my meetings yesterday we talked about how everyone who tried LLMs for coding work regretted it

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.

Putting this on screen in a Bass Pro Shop would completely upend U.S. foreign policy for a generation.

We have been working on a story about the run of ICE impersonators robbing and terrorizing mostly Latino businesses. Now this has jumped to impersonating cops for politically motivated assassinations.

New Yorkers scream out each officer’s lawsuits against them for excessive force and more upon their city, right to their faces while protesting.

Worth considering that one reason Bluesky doesn't always feel super fun is that current events are relentlessly horrifying and bad

Disabled people have been warning that the “embrace mass covid reinfections” narrative was first pushed by anti vax right wing libertarians, now they’ve consolidated power. They are against disease mitigation and have pushed anti mitigation ideas mainstream.

I understand the sentiment but the endurance of the Jim Crow South should be a looming specter here because it wasn’t good living for anyone then either but people spilled and gave blood to keep it and it’s had a dedicated movement to restoring it since.

Denying citizens a robust social safety net while allowing necrocapitalistic healthcare interests to cook? Perfect conditions for harmful mis and disinfo. People have been left to the wolves and then we wonder why they don't respond to effective public health education programs.

I think we’ve become so inured to this stuff that it’s easy to lose sight of just how quickly epistemic collapse has accelerated. Ten years ago, the media was wringing its hands over social media misinformation and what it meant that Trump had the gall to lie. Now, the lies control health policy.

Cannot express enough how much what happened at that meeting three weeks ago has changed things on the ground. Courthouse arrests started within days, then check-in arrests. Worksite raids, once rare, began happening daily. Detention has skyrocketed over capacity. People are going missing.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Hey, fellow Asian So. Cal Fam: ICE is visiting local Asian grocery stores like HMart and 99 Ranch - just heard this from a local contact. Please be careful AND please take this as a sign - this impacts us too. Call. Protest. Donate.

on the news, i just heard a scientist’s response to rfk hr’s firing of the vaccine advisory council. it was good, angry and true (the comments). maybe when we talk to the public we should always say things three times. repeat the important points with different shorter words, like mojo jojo.

Harris' campaign promoted she was for humane immigration policies and ally organizations knowingly promoted the talking point, and zero voters were fooled. Everyone promoting the talking point knew no one would be fooled. But the Harris campaign demanded they did it anyway.
