As part of his research into energy affordability for U.S. households, a Ph.D. candidate reached out to the Data & Code Support team for help with his data. He was paired with one of our amazing Data & Code consultants, Alfredo González-Espinoza (@spiralizing.bsky.social). Read more: bit.ly/4726HuK

Wait wait wait, are you saying reasoning is important in endeavors that require reasoning??? Another aspect why the systematic dismantling of liberal arts education is so tragic.

They are mistakes, models don't hallucinate, they produce stochastic results. Sometimes those are correct and others wrong.
