Do chatbots like GPT and Bing have minds? No. Are they intelligent? Not really. But they are tools to access the zeitgeist -- how humans, collectively, think. That is unprecedented. (from 2020, but leaving it pinned while chatbots in the news) #rini" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">dailynous.com/2020/07/30/phi…

@JeremiahDJohns Sounds like a good lesson! Tactile is more memorable than digital. And a deadline writer needs to have a sense about the weird column-inch reasons an editor might trim (or sometimes pad) a piece. Though if this went on an entire semester, that seems past marginal returns.

When my wife was in J-school, she had a prof who forced students to learn manual layout design for newspapers. I'm talking X-acto knives, physical plates, glue, etc. This was in the mid 2000s, decades after digital software was common. They all learned a valuable lesson - that the professor was an out of touch relic and those skills were pointless. Same professor had never himself used InDesign btw, lmao.

You cannot optimize what you haven't mastered manually. You haven't earned the right to automate until you've felt the friction of the manual labor.

a fun way to play: can you recognize the sources of the human-authored pieces? I got 2/5, and almost knew a third. It's interesting to know for sure which excerpt is the human and still sometimes prefer the AI
Kevin Roose@kevinroose

We made a blind taste test to see whether NYT readers prefer human writing or AI writing. 86,000 people have taken it so far, and the results are fascinating. Overall, 54% of quiz-takers prefer AI. A real moment! nytimes.com/interactive/20…

so the roman emperor cosplay CEO will now control the place where the robots gather to discuss their ascendance. At this point, I think the burden of proof is on anyone who denies we live in a computer simulation based on a lesser work of Neal Stephenson

@AJInvestigates We don't require a video. We have an official statement from DHS which has not been disproven.

Is there anyone who believes the Trump administration would disclose evidence that contradicts its narrative about ICE shootings? What does it do to a country that everyone understands the government will release info that supports its agenda, no matter the actual evidence?

@eliasmai Brian Huss is probably the best person currently on staff to address this. He's not on social media, but check out his book: #tab-description" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">broadviewpress.com/product/everyd… profiles.laps.yorku.ca/profiles/huss/

@rinireg @rinireg My apologies for interrupting your twitter thread, I want to ask if you know of anyone who is active in informal logic/argumentation and rhetorics at York U. I know the late Douglas Walton wrote many books in argumentation.

@Rongwrong_ But *every* group has some members who commit crime. The question is why people generalize to the entire group. The best explanation is prior animosity. Look at the Dillingham Commission reports, which conflate crime with dirtiness, stupidity, and swarthiness.

A century ago, people who already hated Italians and Jews would make a big deal about Italian and Jewish involvement in organized crime. Today, the descendants of those Italians and Jews are repeating the exercise, this time for Somalis.
