People who like to accuse others of committing 'fallacies' should discover the #enthymeme. And once they do, they might expand their understanding of so-called 'dog whistle politics'.

An amusing thing about ChatGPT is how all the human-produced word sequences it has absorbed have led it to predict--correctly--that the most common way a human will respond when asked to perform a boring, pointless task is to say "OK, sure, I'm on it" and then not do the thing.

This person is paying OpenAI two hundred dollars a month to have a chatbot gaslight them about making an excel spreadsheet

Cannot generate simple excel files on pro version
Question
So I have used ChatGPT pro for a while now and recently I have been facing an issue while trying to collate data from pdfs and put it in an excel sheet where in my chat it keeps asking me questions when it finally gets down to generating an excel sheet it never gives me the me the link to download the file.
After multiple attempts when it does give me a lin k to download the excel file I rec an error which says file not found. Starting to grow frustrated with this now.
Look forward to any suggestions to tackle this #problem

One of genealogies of Media Studies is that many early methods began as advocacy strategies of 1940s media reform, in the attempt to change broadcast regulation to allow for more educational channels. Put differently, Media Studies originated as a research movement to build US Public Media.

UPDATE: Thank to everyone who has offered help! I have passed all suggestions up the chain. You'll be pleased to know they are getting a LOT of responses, so it may take them a while to sort through them. I'm thrilled that 1) help is available and 2) they are being so thoughtful and strategic.

The University Democrats at UT-Austin, a longstanding student group, has been told that no guests, candidates, or speakers can speak at their meetings unless the administration approves them. Submitted speakers' lists have been ignored or summarily denied. Please HMU if you know a good 1A attorney

Aug 29 is 20th anni of the flooding of New Orleans. Why a lot of folks down there don’t call it “Katrina”—because the hurricane itself didn’t directly hit the city—is just part of the story not widely told: the real story of why New Orleans flooded.

1/ Popping back in with another #fallvaccine update. 👇

In case you missed it, Friday (or soon after) the FDA is expected to license the Covid-19 vaccine. Word is that the label will be restricted to adults 65+ and people at high risk.

But a few organizations have made different recommendations.
