My read: 1) the Trump admin has intentionally & effectively sown doubt among Dems in the mail-in voting process; 2) many Dems are making other voting plans (in states where mail-in voting is optional); and 3) looks like GOP plans to use that shift in concert w/ their "polls are rigged" narrative.

another researcher accuses OpenAI of training on conversations and then claiming a breakthrough
Valerio Capraro @ValerioCapraro
X.com
BREAKING: OpenAl might have stolen another major proot.
In a detailed Mastodon post, which I report in full in the comments, Andreas Thom presents several pieces of evidence suggesting that OpenAl may have trained Astra on conversations in which he and Gábor Kun were working on Gromov's soficity conjecture, one of the ten problems OpenAl later announced Astra had solved.
I know Andreas. We met several times early in our careers. He is an exceptional mathematician, a leading expert on sofic and hyperlinear groups, and one of the most respected scholars in the field. He has spent two decades working on this problem.
If his account is correct, this is not a minor dispute over attribution. It would mean that unpublished human work was absorbed into a model and then presented to the world as a breakthrough by the model itself.And if the allegations raised by Levent Alpöge, Tristan Buckmaster, and now Andreas Thom are all substantiated, we are no longer looking at isolated incidents.
We may be looking at one of the greatest intellectual scandals in the history of science.
Al is not discovering new mathematics.
Al is stealing human discovery.

It’s messy, but not the utter bedlam that the Times et al are portraying. The MO Sup Court decision is the final word from MO state law that pro-R map is invalid. Only if federal law trumps that ruling will map come back. Fed judge has held it does, but decision is tenuous and should be reversed.

One way to understand Trump's trade views: In his private business, Trump got used to not paying for things—stiffing the granite-countertop contractor, or chandelier salesman—but still got the products anyway. So maybe he thinks America should just be getting the world's goods for free, too.

One of my weird beliefs is that way too much of our understanding of social media behaviors got explained as being caused by algorithms instead of by collective social behavior simply because the social media platforms researchers studied were algorithmic and they led with that assumption.
