In some cases, it takes far more time to work with an AI result. I've had to ask coworkers to stop sending me, "The AI says the law in New Mexico is x, is that right?" questions. It's not right about 80% of the time, and it's so much more time-consuming to prove a negative than to look up a statute.
suspect a big reason why many academics and others who work in areas where getting facts RIGHT is key are disinterested in using LLMs for research:

they’ve tried it, they keep noticing major errors in output, and they conclude that having to verify all that doesn’t actually save them time.

When people say, "You should use 'AI' in your work", I'm tempted to ask them to describe in detail what my work is. It is ridiculous to keep shouting "use AI" without offering a very specific case (fwiw, I gave it a good faith try, and found that it was more time consuming w/mediocre results).
You absolutely will not convince a bunch of historians and sociologists and whoever else is in this thread that you know more than we do about this and we should use it. I wish you AI enthusiasts would stop wading into our conversations. You have nothing helpful to contribute and are snarky.

AI advocates: you really need to learn to stop coming off to subject matter experts in other fields as if you’re Kool-Aid manning into the room and going “you’re dumb not to use these tools for your trivially easy jobs”

you may think this is an unfair read on your intentions, but life is unfair.

people who are new to academia tend to find its obsession with sources and citations a brake on their "i'm just trying to be CREATIVE, man" mindset. but it turns out the relentless obsession with accuracy, citation, and *provenance* is a load-bearing pillar of the whole enterprise

Just sent out this free piece. There was a weird and widely spread attempt in the media yesterday to create a fiction, that Trump's peace plan for Ukraine and Russia was a rogue operation by Steve Witkoff. That finally fell apart--and it’s important that it did. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Area landlord dresses up muscling out the competition as noble stewardship of the common good, news at 11.

Proprietors who are in the 'very well to do' to 'just barely rich' range are the fucking worst. They see themselves as oppressed and kicking down as their natural right.
I am hearing reports that the OP is a landlord.

Chris Murphy: "The fact of the matter is if you don't put constraints on Donald Trump's illegality, this democracy isn't going to be here next November. It isn't going to be here in 2028. So Democrats, yes, have to draw firm moral lines in the sand right now."

in January it was
Rural:
GOP - 60%
Dem - 32

Suburban:
Dem - 46%
GOP - 45%

Urban:
Dem - 59%
GOP - 33%

so that's a 6 point swing left in rural areas, 6 point swing left in suburban areas, and a 13 point swing left in urban areas
Would love to see some earlier breakdowns of GB to compare this with

The important thing is not whether the Trump performing sexual favors for Bill Clinton thing is true. The important thing is that we all pretend it’s true, and that someone asks Trump about it every day.

'Matt Gaetz Raped A Homeless Teenager' is what you mean.

A teenager with a homeless parent? What? The fuck? Did she have a home and not allow her parent to live in it? Ended up having sex with? What? Yeah clearly you guys been caping for pedos long enough and you understand the assignment here
A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

I hope if nothing else it opens people's eyes to what's going on. I used to consistently hear "the media just wants clicks/ratings." If they wanted that they would be doggedly pursuing the Epstein story. But what they actually want is to help Trump rule us and ultimately enslave us
Any other time, any other President, and "the dude was in a global conspiracy to fuck them kids" would have been 24/7 coverage. Even Dubya.

I remember the fucking Lewinsky coverage. Our media have become craven hacks carrying water for rich pedophiles and I feel insane typing that but there it is.
