This is 100% true. LLMs are statistical prediction machine with zero ability to assess the truth claim of anything, including their own output.
TikTok investor Jeff Yass avoided paying $1 billion in taxes while largely escaping public scrutiny.
He then poured that money into campaigns to cut taxes and support election deniers.

Very good piece by @gregsargent.bsky.social for @newrepublic.com on the wavering of two major pillars of Trumpism in recent weeks: economic nationalism and a draconian immigration policy.
The two are ideologically connected in important ways...

OH. So they DID cheat illegally. Funny how I was made to feel foolish by some libs for suggesting they may have changed the final result. GA may not have swayed the election, but many arrogant blue voters said to suggest it makes us as bad as MAGA J6ers. Fuck off. GOP cheats every fucking time.
Feels like weβre past the prologue of the dystopian novel and well into the meat of this thing
There must be trials. Not as an emotive aspiration, rhetorical meme, or empty threat. A concrete plan. A dedicated special court for it. Structural legislation and prosecutors and funding and all the rest of it. Everything necessary for it can be done constitutionally. All it takes is the will.
UPDATE: The 21 year old who has been posting βchillingβ white supremacist messaging on Trumpβs official Department of Labor feeds was finally fired.
JUST KIDDING! DHS hired him.

Hard not to read this and feel that what @bardcollege.bsky.social president Leon Botstein found morally urgent and emotionally effecting in the Epstein story was not the women and girls who were abused, but the rich man who was embarrassed.
this is very good and teases us with a very good time ahead i.e. the end of the labour party averypublicsociologist.blogspot.com/2026/02/a-fa...
@Nick_Davidov Asked Claude Cowork organize my wife's desktop, it stated doing it, asked for a permission to delete temp office files, I granted it, and then it goes "ooops" Turns out it tried renaming and accidentally deleted a folder with all of the photos my wife made on her camera for the last 15 years. All photos of kids, their illustrations, friends' weddings, travel, everything. It's not in trash, it was done via terminal It's not in iCloud, it already synced the new file structure. She didn't have Time Machine. Disc recovery tools can't see anything. I called Apple and they pointed me to a feature in iCloud allowing to retrieve files that were saved before but are no longer on iCloud Drive (they keep them for 30 days). I'm now watching it load tens of thousands of files. I nearly had a heart attack.

A couple fascinating things I learned reporting this:
1. Much of the plant life on the field was people in costume.
2. The finale required 9,852 theatrical pyrotechnics.
3. That was a real couple that got married during the Lady Gaga number.
So many more details here in the piece. Go read!
