CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins followed up, asking if Trump would call for executions on other occasions.
“He would say things similar to that on occasions to blow off steam. But I wouldn’t take them literally every time he did it,” Barr answered.
Why not? Collins asked. 
“Because at the end of the day, it wouldn’t be carried out and you could talk sense into him,” Barr said. “I don’t think he would actually go and kill political rivals and things like that.”
Barr said …

Cw: discussion of #transphobia; JKR; politics and power
Someone in a Facebook group I'm in asked:
"What the f☆☆k has JK Rowling got to do with removing the appalling Zionist Keir Starmer & the rest of our neoliberal NATO supporting warmongering parliamentary representatives from power?
Asking for a very angry feminist socialist lesbian disabled 70 year old."
I thought this was actually a deceptively good question, so I thought I'd share my answer here...
The thing to understand is that trans rights and trans healthcare are being used as a 'wedge issue' by the right wing: something to divide and distract us while they get on with their usual business of plundering everybody.
Rowling, as a billionaire with a huge platform and a great deal of time on her hands, has done more than practically anybody else to drive this wedge deeper.
Like every scapegoating campaign used by the right - against gay people, immigrants, minorities, benefits claimants and so on - the anti-trans moral panic has serious, material consequences for its targets.
The ones who benefit from these hate campaigns (and often fund them, directly or indirectly) are largely indifferent to the harm caused; the distraction and division are the main points, but stoking fear and hatred are time-worn methods of achieving those.
Hope this helps!

How can we evaluate the factual accuracy of long answers from LLMs? Researchers from DeepMind / Stanford demonstrate a strategy that uses LLMs search to assess factuality: it's more accurate than human evaluation and 20x cheaper. h/t Marc Lanctot on Threads arxiv.org/abs/2403.18802

Illustration dramatizing a strategy that breaks a long answer into sentences, checks each sentence for relevance, and then uses search to check the relevant sentences for factual accuracy.
