@garyhall One of the writers was Sir Antony Jay a "commentator of trenchant rightwing views on Westminster and Whitehall politics" whilst the other was Jonathan Lynn a "left-leaning actor".

Perhaps she preferred one particular narrative from the programme.

"This study is the first attempt to apply the masked language modeling approach to corrupted inscriptions in Hebrew and Aramaic languages, both using the Hebrew alphabet consisting mostly of consonant symbols. In our experiments, we evaluate several transformer-based models, which are fine-tuned on the Biblical texts and tested on three different percentages of randomly masked parts in the testing corpus."

Why GM Committed $650M for Lithium Mined Here | WSJ

"The U.S. is racing to secure its own lithium and nickel, which is used in battery production for products like EVs and other tech. Today, China produces more than 85% of the world’s batteries. So how is the U.S. pushing to mine battery metals needed for the energy transition and for national security?"

@FallsMom It seems like these "publishers" are taking advantage of the fact that a lot of people don't pay attention while they're shopping on Amazon — so they think they're buying Kara Swisher's autobiography but they're actually buying a biography of her by three ghostwriters and an AI in a long overcoat. There are also instances where "publishers" publish AI-generated books under the names of existing authors. You can read more about that here: janefriedman.com/i-would-rathe

Amazon is filled with garbage ebooks, often a result of keyword scrapers finding trending topics, and then so-called publishers using AI and cheap ghostwriters to generate books. "If, as they used to say, everyone has a book in them, AI has created a world where tech utopianists dream openly about excising the human part of writing a book — any amount of artistry or craft or even just sheer effort — and replacing it with machine-generated streams of text," writes Vox's Constance Grady. Here's her story about the underbelly of online self-publishing.

Are there any good, digitally accessible primary source collections re: Cherokee removal/Trail of Tears that features or focuses on sources created by Cherokee individuals?

Some initial searching leads me to the WPA-era Indian-Pioneer collection, for memories of removal.

Why European Colonization Drove the Blue Antelope to Extinction

"The results of the study, which have now been published in "Current Biology", show that the species was probably adapted to a small population size and survived like this for thousands of years. However, this also made them susceptible to sudden impacts like hunting, which increased after European colonization of southern Africa."
