TOM MALINOWSKI: Five Things Dems Must Do to Fight Trump Now
 |
“Fight, fight, fight.”
I DON’T USUALLY QUOTE DONALD TRUMP, but there is a lot we can learn from the man’s instinctive feel for politics and human psychology. He has long understood that you win by projecting strength and self assurance, not weakness and despair, and by pushing forward, forcing others to react to your actions instead of worrying what they will do to you. Everything he’s done since being inaugurated is psychological warfare, designed to demoralize his opponents and make them feel helpless.
PHIL CHRISTMAN: Against the Bullshit Machines
LATELY, EVERY COLLEGE ENGLISH TEACHER I KNOW has been struggling to write an “AI policy.” Even in using that language—and this is one of many excellent points that John Warner makes in his galvanizing new book, More Than Words—we give up too much conceptual ground. LLMs aren’t intelligent, either artificially or in any other way. They cannot “write” the papers that students coax out of them, because, as Warner argues, “Large language models do not ‘write.’ They generate syntax. They do not think, feel, or experience anything. They are fundamentally incapable of judging truth, accuracy, or veracity.”
