Maybe easier to teach an AI to say I’m not sure? arxiv.org/pdf/2502.13962

That feeling when you’re about to deep dive into your area of expertise to explain a joke …

I did it; hope you’re sitting down.

Republicans do something outrageous and extreme, their opponents respond by critiquing each other.

I love this. I make this same point to anyone who will listen: teaching high school students to debate is a terrible use of education. It deliberately schools them in insincerity. The 'how to be toxic club,' to avoid real talk. I pointed out to Wurman speaking at BU that this is not debate club.

PS 100% you could be the original source of the argument.

In discussing whether we should be scoring points, or getting the story right, I asked if he'd ask the NYT for a correction. He said it didn't warrant it, is my recollection. One other thing: I think he said the opportunity to write this in NYT shaped the project. Again, confirm elsewhere please.

each explicable (diplomatic immnty, e.g.). You should call him, you'd have a better conversation about his concession than I. I believe he said this was the one part of the op-ed that gave him "heartburn" is how I remember it (could have been a like term, headache/insomnia, but I recall heartburn).

1/2 I'm not on x and I am not a historian. I read a number of pieces about the op-ed organized and linked by a scholar, and one linked to Calvin's case. I think the op-ed itself does as well. The idea was that open war is required to negate, not simply being Alien [sic]. Other exceptions also ..

I'm persuaded that it is, but on this one point, Wurman conceded something wrong with it.
March 5, 2025 at 5:00 PM
But he did concede that the way he'd characterized amity in the NYT did give him some heartburn. Not enough to correct.

At BU last week, Wurman gave me a pointed "if I could finish my thought" because I interrupted his answer to my Q to say his answer was again mischaracterizing. I had prefaced my question by saying we are not at debate club scoring points and concessions. I asked him to issue a correction. A: No.
