“If AI consistently produced garbage, students could ignore it. If it consistently produced excellence, they could learn to use it appropriately. Instead, students have no way to predict which interaction will be reliable, which means every interaction requires an exhaustive verification process.”

I found this insightful.
A horse's heart generates an electromagnetic field up to 5x larger than a human's. It radiates outward like a sphere and can directly influence the heart rhythm of anyone standing near it. This is why people cry around horses without knowing why. This year will amplify whatever you're carrying in your heart. Your energy isn't just felt by you. spirit daughter

Amidst the mountains of fully deserved praise for Robert Duvall's lifetime of unforgettable cinema, I am here to shine a brief light on his unpaid cameo in Invasion of the Body Snatchers as a priest on the swings.

A conscientious journalism grad withdraw from a job when she learned the Cleveland Plain Dealer uses AI to write its stories.

Now the editor is castigating her and journalism professors for not being “prepared for the workforce.”

You can’t make this shit up.

By Chris Quinn, Editor, cleveland.com/The Plain Dealer A college student withdrew from consideration for a reporting role in our newsroom this week because of how we use artificial intelligence. It reminded me again how college journalism programs are failing to prepare students for the workforce. I mentioned this in a column before, and readers asked me to explain

If you think there’s NOTHING in our heritage (or in any nation’s) to be unapologetic about, you’re a fool. A dangerous fool.

GINA CHRIST: “My name is Gina Christ. And I live in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. I was on my way to work. There’s people all around my car. I have both hands up on either side of my face — you cannot hear me. An ICE agent breaks my driver’s side window, glass, reaches in, opens my door, pulls me out of the door, tells me to get on the ground, zip-ties me — and now gas, flashbangs, pepper spray. There was no need. They detoured to grab me. They could have continued to drive. Their cars were past my car. They passed my car, jumped out of their cars, apprehended me, and kept going. Once I was detained, it was very like, ‘Do you have water? Are you comfortable? How’s the heat?’ It was a very schizophrenic experience. I mean, this is insane. This isn’t anything that could minutely be referred to as a couple of bad apples.”

ALIYA RAHMAN: “My name is Aliya Rahman. I was born in Northern Wisconsin, grew up in Bangladesh. I now live in Minneapolis. I came upon a traffic jam that I pretty quickly realized was ICE. I was told: ‘Move. I will break your effing window.’ And I couldn’t get a clear answer to where they wanted me to move to. Very quickly, I was pulled out of that car. I fell twice — once right outside the car, and once behind the car face down. I am disabled. I am autistic. I have a brain injury. And when I hit that ground face first, I just experienced shooting pain through my neck, through my head. My vision became blurry. What happened to me in detention was far worse than what happened to me on camera. What happened to me in detention was a complete stripping of my rights. Nobody knew I was there. I wasn’t told where I was going. I wasn’t given a phone call. And I’m going unconscious and I’m wondering — is this it? They call us bodies. Is this it for me? Am I going to die? I want to live in a country where people who are enforcing the law treat people humanely.”

PBS News Hour: U.S. citizens detained by immigration agents describe how they were treated.

Watch the segment here www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMgC...

I'm clipping transcripts of the citizens speaking in this thread 1/3
GEORGE RETES: “My name is George Retes. I was born and raised here in Ventura, California. I’m 26 years old and I am an Iraq combat veteran. I was going to work like normal. I show up. ICE is there. There’s kind of like a roadblock. I get out. I identify myself — that I’m a U.S. citizen, that I’m just trying to get to work. I’m trying to leave. I’m getting ready to leave and they surround my car, start banging on it, start shouting these contradictory orders. Even though I was giving them no reason, they still felt the need to — one agent knelt on my back and another agent knelt on my neck. And during that time, I’m just pleading with them that I couldn’t breathe. I was in isolation. I was in basically this concrete cell. I was stripped naked in like a hospital gown. And they leave the lights on 24/7. They just came out and they said that I was violent and that I assaulted agents. Why lie when it’s on video of everything that happened? Why lie?”

It really is amazing how much of political punditry, *especially* elite outfits in NYC and Washington, still embrace this bizarre idea that rural spaces represent the "Real America" while metropolitan areas, where most (presumably real) Americans actually live, should be held in contempt.

Just going to point out again that our arbitrary political rules permit Republicans to attack urban areas with impunity but strictly forbid the faintest whiff of condescension toward rural areas by Democrats

CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.
