David Brooks contributed to this current fascist moment in the U.S. I don't know why people still give him a platform to spew his nonsense.

"AI agents are not good at interpreting science. What can be done?" TRY THESE TWO NEAT TRICKS: 1. Partner with a librarian to help you conduct your searches 2. Read the papers yourself like a fully functional adult researcher cen.acs.org/policy/publi...

As scientists increasingly use AI to do research, what can they do to counter the generally uncritical approach of the models?
As shortcomings of the agents become apparent, researchers are proposing strategies to help them improve their outputs

Canada is refusing to issue ISBNs to books primarily generated with AI. This illustrates both the urgency of the problem of the growing flood of slop books, and also the toothlessness of addressing it on the honor system without there also being consequences for lying
Use of artificial intelligence
By registering with ISBN Canada, you declare that your book was created by a human author. You may use AI tools only for limited support tasks, such as brainstorming ideas, checking grammar, or formatting your book. You must not use AI to generate the text, create the artwork, or translate the book. ISBN Canada does not issue ISBNs for works whose content is primarily generated by AI. LAC is currently reviewing its policy regarding the use of AI content creation and our guidance is subject to change.

Think about the core tenets of American conservatism: a government serving 300 million people and leading the world should be “small” and that we should orient all policy around servicing the rich so that they throw us gruel. It’s fucking stupid and we should say so.

This painting is titled "Untitled (Poppies Against a Storm)" and was created by American artist Bruce Cohen in 2011.
Artist: Bruce Cohen (born 1953) is a Southern Californian contemporary painter known for his meticulous, realistic depictions of interior scenes.Style: His work is heavily influenced by 17th-century Dutch still-life painting and Surrealism, creating compositions that are carefully constructed rather than merely observed. Subject Matter: Cohen's paintings frequently feature flowers from his own garden, fruit, and vases arranged within domestic interiors that often contain open windows or doors, adding a sense of atmosphere.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport
Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

Meanwhile the real miraculous future tech is solar & mRNA vaccines: preserving the planet and curing cancer. But we’re supposed to hand everything over to malevolent peeping toms and resource oubliettes for an ill defined ‘pay no attention to the man behind the curtain’ progress. It isn’t rational.

it used to be a core political truism that there was a gas price threshold, above which people would riot. Or, at least, become very very activated. we have seen some analysis of other such truisms like inflation. I need someone to explain this one, stat.

If NFL owners want to censor who performs in stadiums, they shouldn't ask taxpayers to help build them. You can't take public subsidies for stadiums then use them as your personal editorial board. Pay for it all out of your own pocket and hold as many Kid Rock concerts as you want to.

Ed Sheeran PERFORMED AT ROBERT KRAFT’S WEDDING. He was not put in an “impossible situation.” His hands were not tied. He tried to use his openers and band as a PR shield to both-sides genocide and they dropped out because they’d rather give up the money and exposure than be complicit.
