“Who fakes information about Bismarck’s climate history?” LOL! The column reads like stand-up for, shall we say, high-information voters. Will you be here all week?

On the AI front, I had a student turn in a clearly ai written paper last quarter. Tons of real citations…for an assignment that was specifically NOT supposed to use any outside sources. *sigh*

Try having to deliver talks on “the future of European security” in this environment (as I have to do in Cologne on Monday). Do I have to add a point on Greenland to the deck? How friggin seriously do we have to take this stuff???

"I very much do *not* live in the United States" Is that a typo/hallucination?

As someone who definitely does not llive in the US, I'm treating (the old idea) of the US as being gone for good. That's going to mean huge adjustments for the rest of us, like the unexpected departure of an occasionally abusive spouse on whom we have nonetheless relied and with whom our affairs are deeply entangled.
