Calling misinformation of LLM “hallucinations” is… ironic

Because LLM’s have learned the one propensity shared by all humans… lying when we don’t know the answer

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:

Our funding depends on usage.

So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

Cowboy Carter — the entire body of work: the album, the tour visuals, the musical choices — are all protest and reclamation.

it’s clear in the veils, the dissonance in the national anthem, the lyrics, and her own words. not seeing it is simply not paying attention.

To me Fifty Shades is the worst romance book ever made and that son of bitch got 4.2 rating on Amazon.

I think as authors, we tend to be a little harsh on ourselves. Yes, write the best book you can, but don't let the possibility of someone hating your book stop you from writing.

If anyone suggests we need to narrow or cut SNAP to save money it’s important to know that it’s a BIG STINKIN LIE because SNAP is a program that generates anywhere from 40-65% profit

And also nobody should starve what the fuck—
This is the reminder that SNAP makes money because ensuring people have enough to eat is a basic economic multiplier
