And this is precisely why mandating an AI policy is punitive for educators, and not exclusively students.

Apparently this is precedented

Basically the entire globe can’t afford for Republicans to take control of the 4th largest economy on earth. It would be a near death blow.

I also think it’s really bad and completely engineered the way we keep getting locked, from ME to CA to a choice between Republicans or obvious Rat Fuckers.

Politicians just seem to have given up trying to explain the world as it is to people. It's a huge problem.

"Ignoring factual reality because it upsets people" is a political parasite that only benefits the forces of reaction, and people react to this the same way ten year olds react to green vegetables

Late drop of a big story tonight—the research team that jailbroke AI safety standards with weaponized poems have published their Adversarial Humanities Benchmark, broadening their research through cyberpunk attack-fiction and ADVERSARIAL HERMENEUTICS:

If a party talked about "educating the public" today, they'd be monstered as "elitist" and "patronising".

The language of education has been replaced with that of consumerism, in which "the customer is always right".

The "focus group" has replaced the "pulpit". It's not been a positive change. 2/2

Example of a silhouette of Goethe, a man in regency (esque don’t @ me) clothes seems to be conversing with the black outline bust of a woman. (The text below reveals it’s a grave monument).

The word silhouette is derived from the name of Étienne de Silhouette, a French finance minister who, in 1759, was forced by France's credit crisis during the Seven Years' War to impose severe economic demands upon the French people, particularly the wealthy. Because of de Silhouette's austere economies, his name became synonymous with anything done or made cheaply and so with these outline portraits. Prior to the advent of photography, silhouette profiles cut from black card were the cheapest way of recording a person's appearance.

My student read “silhouette” last night (seemingly for the first time), and I just looked up the etymology.

Did y’all know it the word comes from the name of a French finance minister in the mid 1700s? He imposed austerity to pay for the Seven Years War so his name became synonymous w cheap stuff!

John Cornyn has been in office longer than I’ve been alive.

He’s had 40 years to lower the cost of housing, healthcare, groceries, utilities, and gas.

This pisses me off so much because do you know what we didnt get to do in Texas? vote for the new gerrymandered maps. That shit was so unpopular they had to push that *congressional* vote thru at like 2am on a saturday (piggybacking on the special session called in after kids died in a bad flood)

To put it bluntly, this post is about how the fascists are scoring a victory in crushing liberty that could take decades, if ever, to reverse.

100% there will be a war fought over which Jesus LLM gets to decide who gets to play on a Little League soccer team or what kind of muffins get sold at a PTA fundraiser or something. It will last 30+ years, kill thousands of people, and gestate a new strain of flu.

Baylor University making history tonight:

I'm not going to provide details, so don't ask. Nevertheless:

No, it is not OK to have one hallucinated cite. No, you can't delete that and expect me to take the rest of your work seriously. No, absolutely not. It should never ever happen.

A hallucinated cite means you did not engage in research. It is possible to make an error when entering or checking a cite, but its not possible to make an error when you check a hallucinated cite and find it doesn't exist. That means you didn't do it.

Which means you used AI inappropriately.

hello hi yes so this makes sense when you understand that the sucess condition for an LLM is the production of a text-base, genre-bound performance of a plausible and acceptable answer to a given question. the question defines the expected genre.

Opinion | Trump Corrupts, and Absolute Trump Corrupts Absolutely

“To say that President Trump is corrupt is to somehow understate the size, scope and magnitude of his corruption.

It is as if you were to describe a modern thermonuclear device as a ‘bomb.’ That is true enough, but it is not quite the truth. It does not capture the nature of the thing in full.”

Okay but this was me the other day calling for the people who put that tab in my gmail charged with crimes - legit triggering lol

I would like five Supreme Court justices and 30 members of congress prosecuted for treason, so gerrymandering a few states seems like the kid gloves approach to me.
