@EricLDaugh •9h “BREAKING: Gov. Tim Walz says Somalians are ESSENTIAL to the Minnesota community - despite STEALING millions or even billions in taxpayer dollars.
‘They bring diversity and ENERGY to a place like Minnesota!’ Pathetic. Somalians LEECH - DEPORT THEM.”
Response from Gregory Bovino’s official account: “Waltz is of the same class as newsome, stein, pritzker - gubners [governors] who choose illegal aliens over their own citizens. Amazing incompetence”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreihst32abq4yk2kvsi3sg5bjedowsscsf5lfojdskehwivjizr2tme@jpeg)

This is extremely bad and worrisome for obvious reasons, but it's worth pointing out that this was obviously the student's goal
She knowingly wrote a garbage essay for her trans prof's class and when she obviously got a terrible grade stirred up a media storm
This was clearly the intended outcome

"the essay sucks ass" is no doubt true, couldn't be bothered to read it, but consider that the essay may have been written to receive an F in order to instigate a campaign against the trans TA. in any case it's not a great dunk because this isn't about the essay, it's about purging trans ppl

every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

I also can't help but believe that this is targeted against the professor because they're queer. This is exactly what happened in Texas. It's a witch hunt to push LGBTQ people out of academia.

Just wait till some biologist professor gets in trouble because a student claims a religious belief that evolution doesn't exist or a physicist professor because a student says the world is only 6,000 years old. It'll be the death of higher education in the US and the start of a theocracy.

The professor should sue
It's not great that a student can turn in a bad essay but vaguely point to the Bible and religious beliefs as an excuse for not following the actual assignment and terrible writing. That's not what college is supposed to be.
The professor did nothing wrong but she was pulled off the course anyways.

"No ceiling" results in what we have: a couple dozen psychopaths control several trillion dollars and the power has made them go stark raving mad. They are obsessed with using their concentrated wealth to punish the population and remake the country into a failed state and international pariah.
No value, no villain, no vision. Sounds like the tagline for the earnings call of a collapsing appliance retailer

We’re watching a shift where AI simulates the cohesion and reinforcement that used to require an entire online community. A single person can now build a complete parallel reality with nothing more than a prompt window. Which seems bad.

LLMs give people with delusional belief systems a way to organise those beliefs. The model fills in gaps, supplies connective tissue, and wraps the madness in formal language.
It doesn't make the claims more credible to us, it just tidies them up.
