I suspect that fact that the vast majority of LLM users don’t seem to have received this (really very simple!) message is because the AI companies have a vested interest in us not understanding it. “ChatGPT is smart, it just makes mistakes sometimes” is much more marketable than the truth.

On this topic: I asked my students to generate Perplexity summaries of sources for their research and then read the sources and critique the summaries, which was enlightening for all of us. Some summaries were "fine," some were wrong, some were ridiculous and brought in info not in the text /1

The idea that you could arrive at “precisely the information” you need prior to engaging with the material is such a flawed view of knowledge and how it is gained.

The Israelis are calling this a "preemptive" strike. Whether you agree or disagree with this attack, these are not - from what we know tonight - "preemptive" strikes. The Israelis are using that word for a reason. Read on. /1

This is a thought-provoking post that aligns with what I’ve seen. AI can accelerate the exploration of software solutions and create more options for the Navy and other organizations. The right guardrails have to be in place, but there is a lot of potential.

Touched by all the wonderful thank you cards I received after speaking to a class of Norfolk Academy students about the World War II Pacific Theater. We touched on strategy, tactics, and technology. They asked some great questions. #NavalHistory

Excellent past two days with two #navalhistory lectures. One to a group of military officers and the other a class of middle school students. Great questions from both. Enjoyed discussing learning in the U.S. Navy and the Pacific War.

Not the same by any means, but I think this biological framing is useful for understanding how people act in large organizations. What seems like a grand plan from afar is often a series of short-term decisions channeled by local constraints.

tl;dr — this EO co-opts the language of open science to implement a system of political control wherein presidential appointees are given broad latitude to designate any number of reasonable scientific activities and inferences as scientific misconduct, and to penalize those involved accordingly.

Never a bad moment to note this fantastic starter pack of military historians on here. The breadth of it serves as a reminder of how much more sophisticated a field military history has become. We talk tactics, but we talk so much more than tactics.
