A theme that comes up whenever I talk to folks who work with LLMs: The tool demands domain expertise AND a faculty of judgment, yet the people most indebted to LLMs lack both.
this is a recurring theme I've seen. people think LLMs reduce the need for understanding of things and act like it. but every successful use I've seen has as a prerequisite a demonstrable and generally deeper understanding of the topic and objective

Donald Trump could have just kept his mouth shut about Jamal Khashoggi.
But to smear a dead journalist, while sitting with the person accused of orchestrating his murder is just vile.

You cannot deploy the level of funds allocated to ICE without systematically empowering criminality. It’s simply not possible to staff up that quickly with adequate vetting, training, and discipline.
This is state sponsored criminality that goes far beyond the inherent criminality of ICE’s actions.
