Do I need to also talk about the fire, the climate, and the drought?

There are people who know waaaay more than I do. We'll hear from them.

Jungles to the North of Tehran are burning and they can't seem to put off the fire. The smoke is spreading and mixing with the horrendous pollution of all the cities that surround it.

AQI is above 160. It's still cold and flu season and no one seems to like the idea of masks or putting out fires.

The problem isn't that the LLM is magically persuasive. The problem is that every human being's actions are fundamentally oriented toward getting what they want and not getting things they want not to have, and the LLM refines its responses based on the data those actions generate

We also have the LLM-abuse situation and its effects on academia which I don't need to go into.

One possibility could be the sudden decrease in issuing visas too.

A ton of international students didn't even get to interview for a visa because the global "situation" has been very questionable lately.

Some European embassies stopped new appointments multiple times in the past 4-5 years.
