A group of researchers at Columbia University asked both human participants and their “digital” twins–large language models trained on each participant’s data–to complete the same set of tasks. This research explores how closely digital twins can mirror human judgement and decision-making.

One of the greatest glow-ups in modern politics by Sen Booker. Judge Brown is unsmiling because she’s trying so hard to keep from bursting into tears
Cory is gifted.
PS we met him twice in small campaign events, and he is magic in person too. And playing the long game.

Fam, remember three years ago when Cory Booker brought tears to all of our eyes when he lifted up Ketanji Brown Jackson?
“You are worthy.”
That’s who he is. That’s who he’s always been.

US academia is unparalleled in the welfare it creates.
But US academia is now under attack and other countries, like Germany, have to keep the flame alive for a while. It will make them more innovative.

Jonathan Cole essay is marvelous. Why is not Columbia emphasizing the destruction of knowledge that this has caused?

Virtually the entire country supports Ukraine over Russia but today our media is full of headlines about how Zelensky may have made a diplomatic error, because that is the only way to avoid the plain assertion that Trump is a fool, a bully, and compromised.
