It’s the 31st anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, which killed 168 people. It should disturb everyone that the ideas and rhetoric that motivated Timothy McVeigh have mainstreamed. I grapple with that reality here:

So this whole thread, but also given how victims are treated when they come forward, I don't understand the cycle of "Why didn't she tell?" & "Why didn't reporters tell without consent or a witness?" We all know the routine of victim blaming & denial that happens around powerful predators right?
We're past "is AI conscious and self-aware," and now are at "is AI spiritual, and has a soul" stage.
The fact we're six weeks out, none are polling over 10 percent and none of those fuckos have quit is absolutely sus and it would not surprise me at all if some of them are getting paid off by the GOP
I'm telling you, the solution to many problems in education is to hire school librarians (at a liveable wage, with administrative support, and adequate resources). Your students don't need an LLM, they need a librarian.
The teaching part isn't just getting a student an answer, it's helping them think critically about what they are trying to figure out and how to ask the Qs that will get them to the correct answer or relevant resource. The journey is as important as the destination. You can't outsource that.
