I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

All this bright red silk chiffon cocktail dress needs is an egg nog and a high heel. Ceil Chapman liked to ruche her gowns and this mid #1950s gown gathers the fabric around the body then lets it flow with a matching shoulder stole #goldsteinmuseum #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

I suspect this just is a weird mismatch between title and theme and not a half-baked exhibition idea as some have suggested, but also I'm just incredibly relieved it's not Galliano or a straight-up Thom

The Met Gala 2026 theme is all about ‘embracing the body’
The museum will explore “the centrality of the dressed body” by pairing historical garments with artworks spanning 5,000 years.

Wicked: For Good’s rendition of the song “As Long as You’re Mine” is less horny than the Broadway version. It also puts Elphaba in a bulky, itchy-looking, ragged greige cardigan as she sings it. We have questions.

I used to handle interlibrary loans for a public library. ILL is a magnificent expression of the idea that readers deserve books, and books deserve readers. It’s libraries everywhere pooling their resources for the benefit of everyone.

Early Black Friday is a thing now, apparently! Like most of us, I have some hard-to-buy-for people in my life, who “don’t need anything” or already have everything--because they know how to treat themselves! So here’s my go-to gift guide of all-purpose presents I keep coming back to year after year:

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick.
Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

In honor of Larry Summers, I asked the female members of my college class (1987) to say if they had any experiences with sexual harassment by teachers/professors, back when this was tolerated as, I dunno, the cost of attending college, and OH MY GOD.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.
