When I say LLMs won't find things that are surprising, I don't mean that they're incapable of finding anomalies or outliers in the data. I mean: They won't help us to think about the world in novel ways.

Propaganda. We thought that it was gauche and problematic to have government propaganda about public accomplishments and so people forgot about them. People consistently like the military more than ‘the government’ and you know what a large part of that is? They have an advertising budget.
I think about this, also in terms of vaccines, and really struggle with how you have a free society that doesn’t fall into this trap in one way or another. solved problems become invisible and the solutions become the source of conspiracy theories.
This seems logical but Dems solved* the whole problem of old-age health care costs in the mid-1960s and then they lost five of the next six presidential elections because by 1968 it was a solved problem and no one cared about it.

After much research and development I have made an offline version of ChatGPT.
Now you can save water and electricity while navel-gazing, and carry one of the world's most powerfully annoying AI chatbots in your pocket.

It's gonna be a Baudelairian Jihad after all.
Looks like LLMs are *very* vulnerable to attack via poetic allusion: "curated poetic prompts yielded high attack-success rates (ASR), with some providers exceeding 90% ..."

They can rot their brains on algorithmic Nazi slop while I'm out living my life and enjoying it. If they think that's "winning" against trans people by all means, let them think they won. We're still here living our lives and finding joy and they can't take that away from us.

The fix was in when they said dude was guilty enough to kill but not guilty enough to detain in the wreckage. They're picking people out of a hat to murder for ratings.
The survivor of a U.S. strike on a submersible vessel accused by the Trump administration of transporting drugs in the Caribbean was released by authorities in Ecuador after prosecutors said they had no evidence he committed a crime.

"While Rapid Response sometimes involves confrontation, it can often feel like an unfinished sentence or an unanswered question. ...It’s a form of resistance that requires us to put aside ego, and the need for personal gratification."
My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."
They Came for Our Neighbors. We Showed Up.
Before long, there were dozens, and then hundreds of people in the streets, watching and responding.
