“what about the gods being dead set against him, what about the bag of wind,” I’ve asked, & he says it doesn’t matter. A very good swimmer with the help of an occasional inflatable could cross the distance, he feels. Use the goddamn oars, he says 🪦

We've asked questions! We found answers like "there are about 10-15 trans kids in sports"! We don't need laws at literally any level condemning 10-15 children, out of hundreds of thousands, who want to play sports with their friends!!!

NEWS: Taylor Farms gave *$2 million* to Trump & Republicans as they postponed a rule that could've limited the spread of outbreaks like the ongoing Cyclospora epidemic. And, years ago, the industry *also* successfully lobbied to cut a program that handled ~80% of federal produce pathogen testing.

This is Nymeria. She is demonstrating the rare compact zoomies. Ideal for situations where you don't have much room, but still must zoom. 13/10 (TT: ouruntamedtale)

Basically every drug you have ever heard of had its origins in public research funding, in a field that didn't seem like it was going anywhere, because some researchers were interested in the basic science.

I think the thing I resent most about gen AI- and this is a selfish thing to say but it’s true- is that it’s put an asterix on my sense of wonder. What I mean is that now when I see an amazing or beautiful image I can’t have that initial “wow!” reaction. I doubt. I have to verify. I hate it.

"I introduce myself as a Catholic nun, I tell them I went to Mass this morning for you, and I'm not a hearing officer, I have nothing to do with the whole process, I'm here to accompany you, to go in with you if that's OK," said Sister Kuhn. "Most days I go, there are unaccompanied minors.”

Sister Rose Kuhn, who accompanies children forced to go to immigration court alone, “has seen 14-year-olds told they are mature enough to handle their case by themselves and file their own paperwork.” www.globalsistersreport.org/migration/mi...

while i am not an academic i did see this coming and post about it on bluesky, which is why i am quoted in this article

Moser tells Rolling Stone that to even claim LLMs "hallucinate" fictional publications misunderstands the threat they pose to our comprehension of the world, because the term "implies that it's different from the normal, correct perception of reality" But the chatbots are "always hallucinating," he says. "It's not a malfunction. A predictive model predicts some text, and maybe it's accurate, maybe it isn't, but the process is the same either way. To put it another way: LLMs are structurally indifferent to truth."

Academics and technologists are sounding the alarm about a growing crisis in scholarship as we know it: AI-generated citations of nonexistent papers that have infested real journals. Despite being fake, the sources are widely assumed to be authentic the more they appear in published literature.
