🚨 NEW: Congressman Thomas Massie says “I think Israel is influencing the Epstein File release. Israeli intelligence and our own CIA was wrapped up with Epstein. So, it will be embarrassing for our own intelligence agencies and Israel’s intelligence agencies for all that to come out.”

People can text with Jesus on a controversial new app. How does it work?
Artificial intelligence app Text With Jesus lets users chat with biblical figures and it is raising debate over faith and technology.

A video from inside a Border Patrol vehicle shows agents chasing a US citizen for filming them. The citizen refused to get out when they illegally ordered him to stop. The agents say: "This is great." "This is fun." "He's going to get shot."

I think it's because universities are largely donor-driven and in that context promoting cognition, learning, understanding, and mental health aren't incentivized for institutions or individual administrators hoping to climb the ladder while flashy tech bullshit is incentivized.
Study after study shows that using LLMs is bad for cognition, bad for learning, bad for understanding, bad for mental health. So why are our schools and universities still relentlessly pushing them?
Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.
