No Wrongful Execution for Tony Carruthers Tony Carruthers was convicted without physical evidence, based solely on testimony from informants. Now, Tony is scheduled for execution on May 21st by Tennessee after being forced to represent himsel...

There's still time to save Tony's life.

Add your name to the petition to tell Tennessee to test all the forensic evidence before they execute a potentially innocent man.

It’s remarkable how your results came out.

Perhaps more ink has been spilled on the topic of Island Constraints than any other such phenomenon in theoretical linguistics.

In new work with @kmahowald, we study how LMs process such phenomenon, using techniques from mechanistic interpretability to guide our exploration.

Very interesting results about gradience of the coordinate vs subordinate interpretation of “and”. This reminds me of Culicover and Jackendoff’s 1997 paper. www.jstor.org/stable/4178974

Trump Officials Celebrated With Cake After Slashing Aid. Then People Died of Cholera. Behind closed doors in Washington, top advisers made a series of decisions that had devastating repercussions for the poorest country on earth. We went to South Sudan and found people who died as a re...

Here are the stories of some of the human beings who died horrific deaths from preventable disease because Trump and Musk and their flunkies decided to murder them by gleefully destroying USAID and the entire global aid system:

That’s exciting! Congrats!

Sorry Lauren. 😢 It’s seriously distressing. I have stopped doing birthday greetings on FB except for people I interact with regularly and recently.

Look forward to seeing you both there!

My mother requested a real ID twice and was denied. The second time I was with her and it was because her birth certificate is from Puerto Rico and included two surnames instead of the one maiden name listed on her marriage certificate. This policy will systematically disenfranchise women.

Highly relatable poetry. Good luck!

THEY ARE BUYING UP WAREHOUSES TO HOLD HUMAN BEINGS IN DETENTION INDEFINITELY.

I feel crazy at how everyone is acting like this is normal. These are concentration camps being built right before our eyes. These buildings are not meant to house human beings. People will be caged like cattle and die.

What shouldn’t be “radical” — but unfortunately we live in a world where it is — is the idea that *every* child deserves to be able to see their dreams come true. That’s what I saw.

The Trump admin’s whole case regarding Haitians in Ohio is racism, xenophobia, and lies. There’s literally nothing else to it.

Legal status, proper papers. No criminal record. Employers, neighbors, local leaders say they’re a benefit to the community.

It’s showy, bigoted cruelty, nothing more.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

EPA Union President Condemns Murder of AFGE Member Alex Pretti NATIONWIDE — Following the murder of Alex Pretti, a Veterans Affairs ICU nurse and AFGE member, by federal agents in Minneapolis, AFGE Council 238 President Justin Chen released the following statement: “AFGE Council 238 condemns the appalling murder of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis at the hands of federal agents. As a fellow AFGE member who dedicated his life to serving veterans as a VA ICU nurse, the murder of our union brother Alex Pretti is an unconscionable act of violence and a betrayal of the values federal workers are sworn to uphold.

Part 1: How do LLMs work? YouTube video by Andrew Perfors

I just created a series of seven deep-dive videos about AI, which I've posted to youtube and now here. 😊

Targeted to laypeople, they explore how LLMs work, what they can do, and what impacts they have on learning, well-being, disinformation, the workplace, the economy, and the environment.

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

What We Know About a Second Fatal Shooting by Federal Agents in Minneapolis

His name was Alex Pretti. He was an ICU nurse. "In total, at least 10 shots appear to have been fired within 5 seconds, according to the video. Footage shows the man was holding a phone in his hand, not a gun, when federal agents took him to the ground and shot him." #AlexPretti #Minneapolis
