I will concede that Brandon is correct on that first point.
Nobody is forced to use any features in word.
For example, I no longer use any features in word because last year I switched to libreoffice, specifically to get away from the AI features in word.

I remember reading through FIRE's methodology of a few years ago for scoring universities' commitment to free speech.
The scoring methodology equated students not holding conservative viewpoints as being evidence universities are prohibiting those viewpoints.

Shocked! This almost makes me wonder if treating intellectuals like messianic celebrity paragons of virtue because at their best they had some good ideas is, like, maybe, bad? (This. Applies. To. Everybody. Consider your shelves.)

I think this post nails the actual problem, for researchers at least—AI hallucinations would simply not be a problem in academic work if we’d not normalized citation-as-signaling rather than actual engagement—you can only cite a fake paper if you’re not in the habit of reading the papers you cite
Do not cite an academic paper unless you’ve read it
AI Is Inventing Academic Papers That Don't Exist -- And They're Being Cited in Real Journals
Academic articles from authors using large language model are creating an ecosystem of fake research that threatens human knowledge itself.

Someone had to do it. Reddit is challenging Australia's ban on information access for kids.
Supporters will argue that the ban is justified. But no one should doubt that this is a drastic, unprecedented restriction on freedom to seek and impart information. Court review is definitely warranted.

i guess a dose of anything is potentially fatal. i drank a potentially fatal diet coke earlier.
You might think from the headline that this is a story about a trans kid suffering medical consequences from a large drug dose but nope! It is just an interview with an estranged father who is angry that his child happily transitioned.

Something I have to reiterate is that you are being straight up lied to about trans people and our healthcare on an unfathomable scale, this instance reporting is already being torn to shreds by other people commenting, but the frequency of this kind of reporting is astonishing, it's neverending.

Ok, so what are the interstate signs like in your state? NY apparently spent the money to round the corners to match the outline but PA chose to leave the corners hanging out. Have you ever noticed this? (I never did until sis-in-law pointed it out.) Which look do you prefer?

Haidt is "stunned" that ChatGPT asked how it would threaten youth reveals that its plan would be what Haidt has argued in his books. The secret plan!
There should be some way to rescind the doctorate of any commentator on digital media who interprets ChatGPT output like this. I am not joking.

One thing Gwen understands more than most about the Texas and Oklahoma crack down on trans people existing in the university is that this is part of a broader movement by TPUSA and astroturf right wing groups to push society to make having a job while being openly trans impossible again.
