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.

Please: DO NOT NORMALIZE OR EXPLAIN AWAY ARMED MILITARY ENGAGED IN LAW ENFORCEMENT IN AN AMERICAN CITY. If it doesn’t seem that off base or unusual to you, perhaps it’s because you are not the target of this.

Tens of thousands of people took to the streets today in NYC.
After marching, we surrounded 26 Federal Plaza—the building where ICE is kidnapping people and tearing families apart.
We sat in solidarity with those taken, and left flowers for those lost.

Diddy's trial: Prosecutors missed the enterprise deal on racketeering, settled for the downsell. Always aim high, but have that tiered pricing fallback. Partial revenue, not zero revenue.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Found Not Guilty of Racketeering and Sex Trafficking
The music mogul was convicted of less serious offenses, a blow for prosecutors who had targeted him in a sprawling case that alleged he ran a criminal enterprise for over two decades.

The nation's fifth most populous county, San Diego, just chose its political future today—and appears to have chosen to have a Democratic local government—and it's crickets everywhere. Quite the eye-popping example of the NY/East-Coast-bias of how elections get covered.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

Yes, They’re Going After Medicare Too
A wonky change in Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill would hammer some of the very people Republicans insist they are protecting.

How extreme is the June 7 Memorandum on federalizing the National Guard?
One of several issues: It has NO geographic limit. None. No mention of California or any other state. It's open-ended.
Now this from President Trump: "Well, we're going to have troops everywhere."⬇️
