I wonder if the Globe’s editorial board has heard of wisdom teeth. They exist, and they link us to millennia of biological tradition.

I see a lot of takes to the effect that generative AI is only predictive and doesn’t actually “know what it’s doing.” That’s true. But nobody has shown that human beings “know what they are doing” when it comes to thinking either. Not just in the “lol humans are incompetent” sense, either — nobody knows what they mean when they say generative AI has “no understanding” because we don’t know what it means to have an understanding.

Republicans are coming after a Nebraska state senator who stands against antri-trans legislation

The complaint against Sen. Megan Hunt states she could benefit financially from the failure of LB 574

A measure that bans gender-affirming care for those under 19

…Her child is trans. That’s the “financial benefit”

Maybe we should take a look at the stock purchases, kickbacks and rubles the republicans have?

GOP Glass houses.
