Never forget: If birthright citizenship had been revoked, there would be no way to verify anyone’s citizenship. It would be administrative chaos. And the administration who’s already doing mass arrests of “noncitizens” would have a new pretext for ethnic cleansing. That’s the real goal.

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.

Podcasts were not meant to be seen. I do not want to watch a static shot of a person in a hoodie sitting behind a giant microphone. None of this is visually interesting and it’s insane that this is even an issue.
