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.

Consider the absurdity of telling someone who isn’t online that Ali Hazelwood, bestselling author, nuked her entire Instagram because people were digitally abusing her over a joke comment she made on a panel about Peeta, a 2008 character. And because Instagram’s UX sucks, don’t forget that part.

Performing readings of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons Sonnets with the National Chamber Ensemble at the Kennedy Center was a thrill. A sold-out crowd was enchanted by Artistic Director Leo Sushansky's violin speaking to us through the centuries.

Such a long break between seasons means I’ve forgotten much of the previous season. Looks beautiful, no idea what’s going on. Btw, @netflix.com there’s another fantasy series you could pick up- #TheWheelofTime is out there. #SaveWoT #TheSandman #Netflix youtu.be/Er18gmgqy2k?...

Nice writeup on superior shows this season. Andor and Wheel of Time had gorgeous imagery and immersive storytelling. I'm still gutted by Andor's ending & #TheWheelofTime cancellation. I would have loved it to get a conclusion too. #WoTSkies #SaveWoT www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

if you like a piece of music a lot, purchase a copy, download it, and save it on a hard drive, then never ever ever organize that hard drive and wonder how you’ll get back to those files for the rest of your life

Tom Hiddleston stars in the new adaptation of Stephen King's novella — which is somehow a very sweet film about the inevitable approach of death.

The thing is that our students all KNOW this stuff is making them stupider—& many of them resent it. But every signal in their lives, including the entire media apparatus & their own university leadership, is telling them nothing matters, why not use it, if you don’t, you’re getting ‘left behind’

With the home video release in 1988, Peggy Lee (singer and songwriter) helped promote the film for $500...and was surprised not to receive her normal song royalties. So she sued Disney, and won $3.2 million for her trouble in a landmark case: www.nytimes.com/1995/08/07/b... #LadyAndTheTramp #HATM

I kid you not, my work knows that I do drawing on the side and someone in the office told me AI could save me time and my response was "but I like drawing" and it broke them. They didn't know how to answer, they just couldn't comprehend that people make art because they like making art.
