Can’t wait for the AI encyclical to drop. Antiqua et Nova started a conversation that I’m just dyin to have.

Union hotel housekeepers in New York City will soon make over $100,000 a year. A new contract the union and the owners of nearly 250 hotels would raise wages by more than 50%. If workers ratify the deal it'll mean life-changing money for 27,000 union members and their families.

He’s back!!! We just captured male Bobolink LGB (light blue, green, blue) for the third year in a row here in Oswego. That means he’s been down to Paraguay and back at least three times- flying roughly 30,000 total miles! Simply an incredible feat for a bird that weighs as much as six nickels. 🤯

HUGE NEWS: ICE’s courthouse arrests have been STAYED by a New York district judge. That means that ICE will have to stop arresting our immigrant neighbors on the spot when they show up to court at places like 26 Federal Plaza, 290 Broadway, and 201 Varick. (1/2)

New from 404 Media: the FBI says it wants to buy nationwide access to license plate readers. This would likely mean the FBI could track vehicles, and by extension people, without a warrant. FBI offering $36m. Only really two companies could do it: Flock and Motorola www.404media.co/the-fbi-want...

Particularly in the context of (appropriate) crackdowns on LLM-generated papers (e.g., on arXiv) and more and more tales of fabricated citations, two reminders: (1) LLMs do not "cite their sources" (2) Using an LLM to generate, complete, or fix LaTeX code can result in fabricated citations
