May 1970: GAA confronts Councilwoman Carol Greitzer over her disinterest in sponsoring an employment discrimination bill.
![By May of 1970 GAA had collected six thousand signatures on their petition addressed to Carol Greitzer, but the councilwoman had refused to accept the petitions. On May 11, Jim Owles met with Greitzer at City Hall and got a frigid reception, with Owles reporting that she “didn’t want anything to do with [GAA].” She would neither sponsor nor cosponsor an employment discrimination bill, nor would she testify at the City Human Rights Commission. From an article in Gay Power: Two evenings later… thirty-five members of Gay Activists Alliance confronted Mrs. Greitzer at an open meeting of the Village Independent Democratic Club. … Before entering the big meeting hall, she… made small talk with a man she called Marty. But then she entered, and suddenly, bedlam. A roar she will never forget.

![Poor Carol fidgeted.… She told Marty she was going to leave. She was persuaded to hear it out.… And she and all of those V.I.D.’ers… heard Arthur Evans say, “Carol Greitzer refused to accept the petitions. She said she would not sponsor a job discrimination bill.… If she doesn’t relate to the homosexual cause, the Village Independent Democratic Club doesn’t relate and we are prepared to sit in.” Mrs. Greitzer turned to platform chairman Robert Egan, and said, under her breath, “I don’t want to make a statement.… Tell them I have a terrible cold. I didn’t refuse those petitions.… I had too many things to carry.…” … Carol reneges. Her dark eyes flash.… “The Attorney General is the person who has done most this past year with civil rights legislation.… I can’t get it done.” Someone says, “You refuse to represent us in City Council?” Mrs. Greitzer says, “Is there a specific piece of legislation you’re talking about?” Arthur Evans says, yes, and elaborates the points in the petition. Greitzer retorts, “My stand is there is no way of getting this through… not even with bombs.” Jim Owles says, “The very least we expect is a commitment, Mrs. Greitzer.… You’ve never issued a positive statement about homosexuals. You are guilty of a crime of silence.” All join in, [chanting] “Guilty of a crime of silence.”… “Will you back us up?” asks someone from G.A.A. “Yes,” says Mrs. Greitzer… “Will you co-sponsor a bill?” “Yes,” says Mrs. Greitzer in a tone that can only be described as exasperated defeat. “Do you accept the petitions?” “Yes,” says Mrs. Greitzer, who fortunately has one free arm for lugging that night.15

What Greitzer describes here is a very general idea, employed to absolutely terrible (analogous) effect in these models: selective attention. No LLM -- not RAG-based, not multimodal ones -- are capable of "fact-based" attention*. People, however, are. bsky.app/profile/peli...
We need a name for the 'paradox' where frontier LLMs are useful in domain x if your expertise in domain x go much deeper than theirs and harmful otherwise

This month, we lost a trailblazing member of our Council family. Carol Greitzer was Manhattan's first female elected council member and was a champion for women's rights. Last year, former Council Member Rivera presented her with a proclamation honoring her contributions.

“If her friend and neighbor Jane Jacobs provided the intellectual heft behind the fight to preserve the Village, Ms. Greitzer supplied much of the political force, first as a Democratic organizer in the 1950s and ’60s, and then on the City Council from 1969 to 1991.”

Remembering Carol Greitzer, the first woman to represent Manhattan in the @council.nyc.gov today, as she has passed away at the age of 101. A force for women's rights, Greitzer spent 22 years in the Council, and more as an advocate for Greenwich Village and abortion rights. She will be missed.
