For those of you not into #gaming but who love #archaeology 🏺 or #classics, the first Hades' contemporary spin on Greek mythology was SO good -- it was written in a style reminiscent of @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com. Intrigued? Come check out the sequel with me at 1 PM ET: www.twitch.tv/s3nnacherib

I can’t believe how few conversations about the uses of LLMs seem to incorporate this fact. It is not a knowledge or understanding machine! It is a thing-saying machine!

Do not use LLMs for information. Of any kind. It does not *know* anything.

Press is doing a great job of basically doxxing potential jurors

Belatedly: Judge Merchan dismissed Juror #2 this morning (just before the press admonishment at the top of my thread) after she said that on reflection she didn't think she could "avoid outside pressures." She said friends and colleagues had been asking her if she was a juror.
