I made a machine steal the work of a real human being. It's almost as if the stolen work it regurgitated seems like it was written by a real human being. Instead of giving that credit to the breathing person it was stolen from... perhaps the theft machine is actually alive??

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Having Elphie sing a song about fighting for the future of your home and unsuccessfully begging Animals not to leave, and then having those same Animals return at the end just as Elphaba leaves Oz… is certainly an interesting choice for new song lyrics and plot framing

The central stone circle of the Callanish Standing Stones on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. The stones were erected some 5000 years ago and form part of a wonderful megalithic landscape, with several other stone circles nearby.

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick.
Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

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.

On TDOR, we share the names of just a number of the 281 trans people murdered in the past year. Most were Black and Brown trans women. Activists are being targeted too. We come together in grief and care, and keep pushing for a world where trans lives are safe and full of joy. @tgeuorg.bsky.social
