This paper contains some good arguments about an issue that concerns me a lot when I hear my colleagues talking about LLM use in developing their research: Whose ideas are you presenting as your own? (Though the fatalist argument the authors make at the end of paper is disappointing/bizarre.)

The thing that annoys me is how the idea of "AI competency" is either hilariously empty OR an impossible bar for most undergraduate students. The weak version of this seems to be "showing students how to use ChatGPT and telling them that it can hallucinate." The strong version is an MA in ML.

Exclusive: group behind notorious Florida immigration detention center created bid for reconstruction deal Trump administration insiders and well-connected Republican businesses have been jostling to dominate pending humanitarian aid and reconstruction logistics in the shattered Gaza Strip, according to sources and documents reviewed by the Guardian. With three-quarters of Gazaâs structures damaged or destroyed by two years of Israeli strikes, the rebuilding effort to come â estimated at $70bn by the United Nations â could be a rich prize for companies that specialize in construction, demolition, transportation and logistics.

This was a dumb thing to do, but the article gets a lot wrong. This was not a "device" in the nuclear weapons sense of an explosive without a delivery vehicle. It was not an explosive at all. I'll write a post.

Newsom doesn't actually care about trans kids. That's just a fact. Those posts were made mostly just to troll the right. The right... has responded to the "Sorry your daughter hates you, Elon" post with a LOT of rage, which is going to be used to further target trans people.

Making an inspirational or touching video with generative A.I. is a malicious act. It creates greater negativity and more pessimism once it's discovered. It saps people of any hope or charity it may have briefly inspired. It creates a new viral lie that will never be fully contained or debunked.

1. For at least 10 years, Pepsi has conspired with Walmart to force up grocery prices. Thatâs the shocking evidence made public today in an unsealed FTC lawsuit. The suit was abandoned in May by the Trump FTC just before it was to be un-redacted. We went to court to get it unsealed & won.
