I have just found out that I can view the search terms people have used to find my papers. Why has ChatGPT (and other AI) looked at my paper? Why can’t I opt out of that?

this is a formal note, do not train AI on my research. 💜

Trump threatens to withhold his endorsement from any Republican who doesn’t support his $9.4 billion rescission package. It’s headed for the Senate floor next week and needs a simple majority.

ChatGPT may be down, but you know what's not down? Over 4,000 pieces of literature from 147 countries and translated from 141 languages by actual people and not LLMs—and every single piece is free to read.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

For the record, do I think a one-day boycott is going to make much of an economic impact? No. Do I think that a sort of "Baby's First Boycott," performative though it is, might be useful to make some folks aware of the impact of their economic power, and how it might be wielded politically? Maybe.

Good.Store sponsored the Lady Griz game tonight and we did a half-time game where middle schoolers had to put on as many socks as they could in 2 minutes.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

If you as a parent do not want your child to read about something, that is your job as a parent to oversee their reading. It should absolutely not affect what children who are not yours are reading.

The fact that Mitch McConnell decided to retire (as leader) rather than endorse trump and what that indicates about the kind of fundamental ramshackle dishevelment is at play in today's Republican party *should* be getting a major share of the US political analysis, this week
