Hoy aprendí que si un estudiante le hace una pregunta de código en R a chatgpt, sin tener el estudiante ni la minima idea de lo que está haciendo, su respuesta es casi tan mala como si le hubiera pedido un ensayo a chatgpt (es bastante mala)

I am once again begging pundits to recognize that we👏 don't 👏👏know👏 how non-voters would have voted, because we don't know what would have gotten them into the voting booth! These are undecided voters by definition! Whatever would turn them into voters would also influence their preferences!

On June 25, 2017, Part 8 of "TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN" was premiered. "Gotta Light?" was considered an unprecedented audiovisual masterpiece and one of the best creations in MARK FROST and DAVID LYNCH careers. The most provocative piece of art in the history of television.

SFI’s Anthony Eagan reviews "The Philosophy of Ted Chiang." He praises it as a rare, thoughtful look at how Chiang’s sci-fi raises deep philosophical questions, not by design, but as a natural part of his creative process, exploring time, consciousness, and agency. www.santafe.edu/news-center/...

Most literature reviews miss the point.
 Not because they’re sloppy. 
But because they treat the literature like a box to tick. In my latest Respect the Marble Post, I carve out a 6-step process to writing a meaningful lit review: catherineeunicedevries.substack.com/p/most-liter... 🧵

Still recovering from shock of having just read a large grant application with made-up reference list. Familiar authors but most refs don’t exist. ChatGPT written all over it Must sound familiar to those marking student essays. But, really, in a grant application? Who do they think they’re kidding?

The United States has been bombing the Middle East almost continuously for over 20 years. But I'm sure *this time* will accomplish whatever it is we are trying to accomplish.

I think this is more or less correct. I don't support bombing Iran, and I would very much rather have anybody in charge than Trump, but I that it happened is more of an indictment of US foreign policy in general than Trump in particular.

Iran y Arabia Saudita siempre han peleado sobre si llamarle Golfo Pérsico, si Trump se tomara en serio su papel le cambiaría el nombre ya a Golfo de América 2

INSULINDIAN PHASMID - That must be incredibly hard. The arthropods are in silent and meaningless awe of you. Know that we are watching -- when you're tired, when the vision spins out of control. The insects will be looking on. Rooting for you.
