Nearly two years late to this article by Weatherby, but it's still very relevant to the case for the study of LLM language output as a means to study statistically significant cultural correlations.

Breaking News!

The latest CO2 data just came in from Mauna Loa and the 3-year rate of CO2 growth just hit a new record high, now growing at a rate of 7.97 ppm per 3 years.
(That dip in the mid-1990's is Mt. Pinatubo. Google is your friend.)

Ah yes, I'd almost forgotten the 'do your own research' move. Nice one. Almost as if the burden of proof didn't exist.

This image is from Birzeit University in the West Bank which was raided by Israel today using live ammunition and tear gas.
Over 40 people were injured, mostly students.
More than 8,000 students are trapped inside.
But it’s controversial to talk about scholasticide.

How can you research suicide and not be critical of LLMs? It doesn't make sense.

Personally I think the problem is with the use of the term 'AI'. Probably better to use more specific terms so that computational researchers can be comfortable on here. Those that use LLMs for 'research' can get blocked, on the other hand.

Too many easily forget or ignore all of the Black organizers & activists from Ferguson who have been arrested, killed & "disappeared" over the years, not to mention the targeting of organizers around the Floyd protests & so many others. Even Black radicals who just help their commumities

So is this where I tell you that cops have been doing this to Black activists for decades and you're only now realizing it is a problem because it happened to a young white woman or nah?
What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids?
Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

Trump didn't do it for the oil. He did it to distract from the Epstein files. He did it to save the dollar. He did it because 'blood for oil' sounds cool.
