I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Are your sheep always turning up late for work? Are they taking too long on their lunch break or simply struggling to get through the workload? Are they always just mucking about?

This is how you get Mad Cow
Interesting that this article doesn't mention what seems an increasingly obvious problem for LLMs - every new iteration is trained on data that has been increasingly poisoned with garbage from the previous iteration. The web is full of AI-generated nonsense, and that's now part of the input.
An AI leaderboard suggests the newest reasoning models used in chatbots are producing less accurate results because of higher hallucination rates. Experts say the problem is bigger than that

Madeleine L'Engle; this is why they want you illiterate
![[“The first people a dictator puts in jail are the writers, the teachers, the librarians—because these people are dangerous. They have enough vocabulary to recognize injustice and to speak out loudly about it. Let us have the courage to go on being dangerous people.”]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hppum4l25hcczzffastsicpq/bafkreig3dcwrzxtvuj2hkgj2mg3rgwactm77awp4ygvxjuje5q67yact7m@jpeg)
