Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

I made a spreadsheet of all the federal cases filed as part of Trump's DC crackdown. It's not going great
Trump’s Crime Crackdown Isn’t Holding Up in Court
Grand juries are not delivering the indictments that the Trump administration is asking for—and that may just be the start of a massive legal failure.

In one of my writer groups, I’ve been told this is the result of a new AI program they are using to assess packages
Customs information is entered, the AI determines whether or not the item being shipped is obscene
The AI passes judgment without any visual inspection of the contents

President Trump's deployment of the National Guard to DC and takeover of the local police department is baseless and an abuse of power.
The people of DC shouldn't be forced to live in occupied, militarized communities.

I think this is one thing people don't know about NYC: our grocery store culture is BIZARRE. Expensive, horrific, and just weird. There's no room in them, so you have to navigate the aisles like a video game. And stuff happens, like my local that used to sell loose pancakes. TELL ME YOUR STORY.

I am watching Sen. Alex Padilla talk on the Senate floor about being assaulted last week, as I watch New York City controller Brad Lander get assaulted at immigration court. In between reports on the two MN Democrats shot, one murdered, last weekend. But both sides, people, both sides.
