Wait until you hear that LLMs can only train on digitized/datafied info.
Most of the FACTS scholars use are in archives/libraries.
Less than 1% of archival colletions worldwide have been digitized.
Also: lots of facts are not even in archives, but in the attics.

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.

Shifting the setting of Frankenstein to the 1850s enabled the inclusion of period-appropriate photography, and wet plate collodion on glass could absolutely have survived in the snow

Sometimes I go to the movies during home OSU games, but I just watched Frankenstein (a masterpiece) and it ended at the exact time that everyone is trying to leave Ohio Stadium (a master mistake).

The Dems who are apoplectic over Cuomo's loss are the same Dems who keep giving us the same old guard status quo nonsense that leads to low voter turnout and GOP wins.

My conspiracy theory is that private equity put JoAnn out of business so that it's harder for us to make our own shit during this late stage capitalist oligarchy. Maybe drop your favorite small craft business below. Eat the rich, shop local, make crafts, do crimes. ✌️

Ohio politicians plan to fund a new NFL stadium for the Browns in Brook Park with $600 Million in unclaimed funds. That money belongs to Ohio citizens, not the Haslams. Tell your friends, family, frenemies - search here and claim your funds! com.ohio.gov/divisions-an...
Unclaimed Funds
The Division of Unclaimed Funds reunites Ohioans with lost or forgotten money and property, but also works with organizations to identify those assets for reporting.

This year, I'm trying to keep my hard-earned dollars in my community instead of contributing to a huge corporation's quarterly earnings. Money talks & I started fighting capitalism with every penny. I began to repair, reuse, borrow, share, buy used, go without, or shop local whenever possible. 1/4 🧵

This is so important. The Library of Congress staff holding the line against illegal takeover yesterday is even more heroic if you realize that digital book-burning and placing every copyrighted item in the hands of AI is the goal.
