Folks, I meant very seriously that the Ark Experience--where there was a measles exposure--is Mike Johnson's old stomping ground: He ensured the Ark would get tourist $$ from KY.

As the great Suketu Mehta wrote in the accompanying essay, "By 1643, only nineteen years after the first Walloon settlers founded New Amsterdam, 18 languages were already being
spoken in the city—among a population of a mere 500." To hell with fictions of a homogenous past, linguistic & otherwise.

Folks, we're seeing news of protest and state violence in Iran. Most of us need expert guidance to follow events there. Don't be a sucker and share what you don't understand.
My touchstone for verification is BBC expert Shayan Sardarizadeh. He speaks Persian too.

As my teenager pointed out, the problem here isn't that an AI issued a meaningless apology, the problem is that the world's richest man is running a child pornography machine.
If my teenager understands this, why don't the actual journalists writing these stories?

1. Headlines everywhere today read "Grok apologizes."
This is bullshit. A chatbot is not something that can apologize.
Pretending otherwise is simple laundering these companies' bullshit about what AI is, while diffusing blame away from the human beings that developed and released this system.
