Whenever i get ragebaited or simply overwhelmed and helpless, i try to redirect my energy to appreciating the amazing kindness and love of people who inspire in the community and then think about ways to follow their lead. There’s a lot of that in Minnesota these days

Tonight, my Minneapolis neighborhood gathered on street corners and in our local park to mourn Alex Pretti.

This is our FOURTH vigil in eight months. No community should have to go through what we're going through.

every day my heart breaks in new and horrifying ways and every day the people of this city put it back together

ZOMG @mikecaulfield.bsky.social knocked this one out of the park. A detailed demonstration of LLM’s weaknesses using a pop culture fave most of us have seen.

I think this post nails the actual problem, for researchers at least—AI hallucinations would simply not be a problem in academic work if we’d not normalized citation-as-signaling rather than actual engagement—you can only cite a fake paper if you’re not in the habit of reading the papers you cite
