In this view the George Floyd protestors either didn't know that minorities were doing better in 2020 than in 1960 or were actively lying about it.
I don't think that's what he's saying! He's saying that despite low numbers of black people being killed by police every year, high-profile police shootings gave Americans a false sense that racial progress had stalled.
But this isn't true!

This would mirror the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission investigation into Dearica Hamby's pregnancy discrimination claims against the WNBA and her team. Congress and the Labor and Justice departments would be justified in examining the facts. At Harvard and Columbia during antisemitic protests, institutional leaders played down threats and failed to protect students. Congress and the Trump administration demanded answers. Columbia's recent $221 million settlement for civil-rights violations shows the effect of such scrutiny.

this is referring to deep blue, the computer that beat Kasparov in chess in the 90s. it is absolutely not true that chatbots are better at chess than deep blue. Chess (and games generally) are in fact a very widely known weakness of LLMs. writing on AI without knowing this is wild.
