just gonna do a few and try to post more in small batches later

so it turns out I have TON of podcast episodes to post

The Constitution gives Congress, not the president, the power to decide when the nation goes to war. President Trump’s strikes on Iran are flatly unconstitutional. There’s been no deliberation, no vote, no clear justification. This is a flagrant abuse of executive power.

Great podcast by Resistance Rangers describing the effort to document changes in signs at National Park sites.

A Meta employee who works on AI safety let an AI agent named OpenClaw loose on her inbox and it deleted all her email. (This tracks; companies like Meta actually don’t care about AI safety and hire accordingly.) [techcrunch.com]

can someone explain this simply?

im reading historians who do database work and claim in published articles that LLMs are good for data cleaning. so what i cannot get my head round is this: do you check all of the data for hallucinations? 🗃️
