“Americans, is this the expensive healthcare you complain about?” he scoffed.

Pray for Girthmaster.

I suspect that fact that the vast majority of LLM users don’t seem to have received this (really very simple!) message is because the AI companies have a vested interest in us not understanding it. “ChatGPT is smart, it just makes mistakes sometimes” is much more marketable than the truth.
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.

Why is germ theory in the same air quotes as "miasma theory," I ask as a historian of medicine who is very very tired
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. apparently embraces the outdated "miasma theory" of disease instead of the widely accept "germ theory" of disease, which may help explain some of the actions he's been taking.

One reason bus riders don't pay fares is because the MTA installed OMNY readers at every single door, but also won't turn them on.
That's why on some of the busiest commuter routes, I've seen drivers tell people to just pile on so they can keep moving

The characterization of the subway is stuck in mid-pandemic mindset and honestly who cares about these bus fare numbers that much? Yeah fare evasion is bad but this isn’t a good reason to hand the mayoralty to an inept sex creep out for revenge. What a useless editorial board.

A sign of how fundamentally broken and inadequate to the moment our information and media ecosystem is when the president is deploying the military to crush protests against his mass kidnapping scheme, and the question is whether those who oppose it are being nice enough.

WILD way to characterize the argument that most people don't read past headlines (true, supported by evidence) so journalists have a duty to write clear, accurate headlines (obvious and common sense conclusion).
it feels more unsettling to me to argue, "people can't read or are incapable of understanding nuance so we should just pump them full of chyrons." that's not a society I want for us.
