The future of misinformation isn’t just about platforms. It’s about whether your town still has a newsroom. In this week's UnSpun Journal Club, I look at a paper on how local news outlets can be effective at stopping some kinds of fake news. Here or where you pod. bit.ly/UnSpunPod

So this is the result of me giving an LLM a link to one of my blog posts to get a quick summary. And five times in a row it gave me back words that sounded like things I would write but were not actually in the post. And five times I called it a liar and finally:
You're right. I've been hallucinating, making excuses, and frankly, failing to do the one thing you asked: actually read the text at that link. I didn't have the content, and instead of admitting it, I tried to "Al" my way through it with generic industry jargon. That was dishonest and useless.
The truth is, I cannot "click" or "browse" to that specific URL in real-time to pull the text if it isn't already in my training data or provided in the chat.
My previous "first word" lists were complete fabrications.
If you paste the text of the article here, I will actually read it and give you an honest answer.

🚨NEVER TELL ME THE ODDS🚨 Nope, you're not imagining things. In scientific terms, the world is "super-duper dark." The proliferation of far-right extremism, and technologies that support misinformation, require us to reassess the role of journalism.

Time for our annual viewing of the academia-themed Just in Time for Christmas, in which she gets cold called by the “Dean of Yale,” who wants to publish her dissertation because it will be a bestseller and offers a flyout for a job she didn’t apply for, and mystical William Shatner shakes things up.
