Do LLMs *understand* language? Do educational AI agents *understand* the material they teach (or their students)? Claims about what AI systems do or don't understand are pervasive, but assessing them requires an account of MACHINE UNDERSTANDING

ICE executed legal observer and VA nurse Alex Pretti today. ICE exists to kidnap children & murder Americans. They must be abolished, & those complicit in their crimes must be brought to justice.

D.C. is not a dangerous city. Nor is L.A. The only danger is the Trump regime and its secret police force—ICE. They are committing crimes. They are terrorizing communities. They are tearing families apart. They are kidnapping people. They are the problem. And we the people are done with them.

That thing where some Republicans express "concern" over something Trump has done? It's pure b*******. They're still voting completely in lockstep for all of his proposals, nominees, illegal and immoral bills.

When insurance companies suddenly want to increase customer premiums $750 and blame it on their loss ratio, we simply ask them: prove it. We are seeking accountability from State Farm and a level playing field. Illinoisans deserve nothing less.

We cannot allow this to happen.

Peter Gleick @petergleic... There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.
