Watching Mamdani's victory speech, I'm struck by his—and his campaign's—unabashed vision of the US as an immigrant society, a culture built from the ground up from diversity. It is a complete rejection and reversal of the search for a white-washed homogeneity that the political right projects.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Reddit is winning the AI game.
Since the site struck licensing deals with Google and OpenAI, its traffic—and its importance to legacy media outlets—has surged.

It’s not lost on me that the only profession mentioned in the Constitution (the press) is a constant target by those who profess their love for the founding document, who loudly say that we can only have a society based on rules set 250 yrs ago.

Journalists need their own benchmark tests for AI tools.
The performance tests used by AI companies don’t measure what matters in the newsroom.
