As a public health civil servant my work is subject to FOIA requests by people and orgs hostile to public health as a concept who are hoping to catch me making basic errors or "manipulating" the data

suspect a big reason why many academics and others who work in areas where getting facts RIGHT is key are disinterested in using LLMs for research:
they’ve tried it, they keep noticing major errors in output, and they conclude that having to verify all that doesn’t actually save them time.

Jokes on them, my extreme level of spite is a feature not a bug. I suspect that goes for MANY others as well.
But other entities are sticking with the original “revolt of bosses” plan, seemingly in the faith that if we have no good alternate options, we’ll just suck it up and accept being force-fed AI slop.

(2) The idea that testing accommodations are some kind of beneficence "to help the disabled" is wrong -- the point of the accommodations is to provide disabled students an equal chance to demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and ability the test is supposed to be measuring.

I love this but as someone whose father attempted to use college tuition payments as a means of control, I’d love for this to be able to be delinked from parental income. Sometimes parents just don’t want to pay for a thing for their own intensely selfish reasons. That’s not the child’s fault.

I understand the justifiable criticism here, but Thune doing a 1:1 with MSNBC and not blindly slobbering Trump is actually more than people are giving it credit for.

THUNE: Fund the government the old fashioned way -- I don't think you need rescissions
VITALI: Have you said to the WH, maybe don't do another rescissions package? Feels like it's poisoned the well
THUNE: It's in everybody's best interest, including the WH, to do a normal appropriations process

the lesson of the kimmel thing is that a corporation that previously caved to trump was forced by its audience to defy him.
they're afraid of him but they're more afraid of you.
