Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

Dit mag in onze media ook wel eens onderzocht worden: hoeveel besturen en bedrijven (ook in diezelfde mediabedrijven, overigens) worden onproductief als Trump morgen op pakweg Microsoft of Amazon leunt omdat hij humeurig is over Groenland?
Nog niet zo af als ik zou willen, maar aanvullingen & correcties zijn van harte welkom! Het heeft enige (politieke) relevantie om deze lijst compleet en correct te krijgen.

Better yet, disestablish all of DHS, and undo the nightmarish idiocies that we created in a panic 25 years ago. Reestablish the INS, get rid of ODNI, fix the damage from the Patriot Act, etc.
For the love of all that is decent and holy: abolish ICE

I think this post nails the actual problem, for researchers at least—AI hallucinations would simply not be a problem in academic work if we’d not normalized citation-as-signaling rather than actual engagement—you can only cite a fake paper if you’re not in the habit of reading the papers you cite
Do not cite an academic paper unless you’ve read it
AI Is Inventing Academic Papers That Don't Exist -- And They're Being Cited in Real Journals
Academic articles from authors using large language model are creating an ecosystem of fake research that threatens human knowledge itself.

Give it two more years, and being able to exclude false references from your research will be about as important a skill as including real references is today.
Grading and googling hallucinated citations, as one does nowadays, and now that LLMs have been around for a while, I've discovered new horrors: hallucinated journals are now appearing in Google Scholar with dozens of citations bc so many people are citing these fake things

My favorite Clausewitz quote about war, which unfortunately applies well here.
Also, "I don't get why they think this is a winning message" = "I know my stance on this is unpopular and I am out of ideas"
