Siempre me gustó leer periódicos españoles cuando el tema era el Brexit; incluyamos a también EEUU
¿Ha perdido Trump la cabeza? Un año de momentos inexplicables del presidente de EEUU.

El errático e inusual comportamiento del presidente de EEUU en su primer año de mandato ha desatado dudas sobre su capacidad y salud mental

Heads up to artists still using Twitter- Twitter is now adding an "Edit image" button under all images posted on the site that allows everyone to feed it into genAI and modify it as they wish with a prompt

A small (personal) example of this book’s intellectual dishonesty:

My father-in-law is reading In Covid’s Wake, and excitedly told me he found a passage where I’m quoted. The quote in question is me saying the FBI worked to censor speech on social media.

Huh? When did I say that?!

say what you will about Andrew Tate, but his decision to not have a chin likely saved his life in that fight. Just one of those uppercuts would've killed Bruce Campbell.

More party name games. The VEC has approved a name change, Companions and Pets Party now known as End Mass Migration - Reform AU. Might be a crowded field by later in the year. Though there will be no benefit from group voting tickets if they are abolished as promised. #springst

It's not just errors in the training data: the developers of the LLM might deliberately build in road blocks.

We've seen Elon *try* this with Grok of course, but recently I asked DeepSeek about the He Jiankui case and China's 2003 Guidelines for Ethical Principles in Human ESC Research
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.

Really enjoyed watching Justin Wolfers becoming ubiquitous in US media over the last six months, because most US media people don't know how to deal with him. A very good economist, who cares foremost about people, who doesn't care if he upsets power, and explains things in colloquial Australian

David Brooks writing about how there was nothing to see with the Epstein Files while not disclosing *he was in them* is at least a Nuzzi-level journalistic scandal

What I'm saying is, get ready to see a nude painting of David Brooks in the NYT within weeks

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah.

Praying for his full & speedy recovery.

And so deeply inspired by his example.
