or worse... the opposite of what you intended to say...

Everyone Is Using A.I. for Everything. Is That Bad? Either way, let’s not be in denial about it.

As the rate of use of LLM (basically ChatGPT) grows exponentially, the rate of discussion and reflection of what that means for us should increase as well.

Yup.. unfortunately their "uninformed" choices need to hit them hard over the head... people will suffer... maybe they will think twice about trusting their intel

My dear friend Ruth Peyser, a 6 dan aikido teacher and exponent, writes about speaking up. She draws from her experiences within #aikido community, but her lessons are not confined to those.

Well done!

You know what's up? This is what's up...
Apparently this one might be what's called Jones fracture, from the discovery of it by orthopedic surgeon and dancer Robert Jones.

I did not get it while dancing.

There are laws in place of who can be picked to safe guard the qualifications of these people.

Trump has now got rid of these safe guards, fired the previous VERY qualified head of JCOS, and appointed a MAGA hat-bearing non-active duty yes-sayer on this, one of the most critical of positions.

...Joint Chiefs of Staff advice the civilian head of the armed forces, the president, in all questions related to the defense and actions of the armed forces. It's an 8 person strong body carefully selected from active members in the highest levels from the armed forces.

The leader of the nation with armed forces, the size of which exceeds all other combined, has a principle body called Joint Chiefs of Staff....

"This is during a time when there are active outbreaks of measles and TB in our country, surging flu cases, an Ebola outbreak in Africa, and risk of bioterrorism. Our safety is at risk and we need to make our voices heard. (Link to article in comments)"

By Sage Myers: "Widespread cuts of key staff across the CDC and NIH happened today. Among the many important positions eliminated is a group of brilliant, specialized scientists who investigate emerging disease threats."
