I cannot tell you how many tech journalists at prominent media organizations do not understand this
Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Parents: we hate the tech

Local admin: we hate the tech
Tech companies: here’s lots of tech!

Politicians: thanks for the donation let’s get tech in schools!

This article frames tech as a battleground between parents and schools. But I was chatting the other day with a school official who's leading an effort to shift her district away from device-based learning, and she told me--every teacher she's talked to is on board.

What's happening to CBS News is what the tech oligarchs call "parallel" strategy.
Buy an existing institution, gut it, and convert it into a right-wing zombie version of itself. They are doing this to media, government, education, biotech, defense tech, etc.
Some call it the "Network State."

Note to the media: Those of us who have problems w Flock cameras are not "anti-tech". I use tech every day. It's a tool. What I resent is a police state using tech to spy on citizens with a presumption of guilt. I'm not anti-tech, I'm anti-authoritarianism. It's why we have a Constitution FFS.

In a discussion of the murder of UnitedHealthcare's CEO Fox News host Harris Faulkner suggests that undocumented immigration is making "the work harder for the NYPD because they are already dealing with rampant crime uptick from those individuals who came here illegally."
