and just fwiw I reject the idea that it isn't the media's job to inform. like that is our literal job. if people think things are not the way they actually are, that is by and large because we, the providers of information, haven't done well, right?

my family came here as refugees and undocumented immigrants after the holocaust. i used to think that america's past sins had nothing to do with me. it took some time to realize, acknowledge, and actively operate from the perspective that this whole place exists because black people suffered for it.

Libraries are not all-digital and probably won't be in your lifetime. Also, the digital library will be much more limited than the physical one unless some laws change.

Scholars call BS on ChatGPT like: āLarge language models have been plagued by persistent inaccuracies in their output; these are often called āAI hallucinationsā "We argue that these falsehoods [are] better understood as *bullshit* in the sense explored by Frankfurt (On Bullshit, Princeton, 2005)"

"Bullshit" is an actual technical term in philosophy. We have papers on it. You have my permission to start using "bullshit" for the garbage generative algorithms produce. I'm partial to "Epistemic Fuckery," myself.

Right? You can be a sleaze and be a man about it. Jerry Springer was a dipshit but he used his own money.

Even if you buy the arguments about the prosecution being biased and politically-motivated (I don't), if it's perfectly OK to pay somebody off about sex you do it yourself and not by laundering it through your business. At least Jerry Springer was an honest sleaze. 1/2
