Re: Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid

How do you like this response I induced from ChatGPT? Fascinating. And once again, chatGPT's response is mostly accurate. If the headline you picked as your last example is misleading and/or stupid... why can't you just link to a countervailing example, a media article that has an entirely differen...

Re: Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid

(Preface: I present the following because of my interest in chatGPT. My dispute with PresidentBush has gone off into the silly weeds, so I don't think I'll be talking about it much more, unless he posts something particularly interesting, or silly.) I thought I would try another chatGPT experiment. ...

Re: Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid

Quickly googling the subject of Justice Thomas' language from his concurring opinion in "Alexander v. South Carolina State Conference of the NAACP". Google is so 20th century. What does Clarence Thomas believe about Brown v. Board of Education? ChatGPT Clarence Thomas, an Associate Justic...

Re: Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid

Can you link a media article that has an entirely different take on Justice Thomas' language from his concurring opinion in "Alexander v. South Carolina State Conference of the NAACP"? I can't resist a challenge. It will be difficult, though. You see, it will be hard to find an article th...

Re: Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid

I kind of doubt Justice Thomas would appreciate somebody claiming he said that. On the other hand, maybe he'd like being the subject of a story for children. I think he would be more offended about being informed that he criticized the landmark ruling that got him his job. Brown vs Board of Educati...

Re: Planet America

Meanwhile, if you really want to find an All-American hobby, look at lawsuits. Families of children killed in the Uvalde, Texas, massacre are suing, Facebook (i.e. Meta), the company that manufactures the AR 15, and the makers of "Call of Duty". I don't see a courtroom victory in their fut...

Re: Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid

What do you think what Justice Thomas said means? It means: 1. Racial discrimination is unconstitutional. 2. As a practical matter, as an immediate goal in 1955, it may not be practical to demand immediate racial desegregation. 3. Because there will be a "reluctance" to actually achieve r...

Re: trump off the CO ballot

(I'm putting this here because it's kind of an election thread) I had a sort of political fantasy that, if Joe Biden were actually doing it, it would be brilliant. He's not doing it, but he ought to be. So.....here's the scheme. Imagine it's all planned in advance. Joe and Don have agreed to debate ...

Re: Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid

Classic misleading clickbait headline today in NZ's Stuff, as it trumpets its winning awards for media. King Charles and Prince William abruptly cancel royal outings Given the recent cancer diagnoses of Chuck and Kate, I'd bet 90% of people seeing that headline went "OMG, something bad happene...
