I'm sure algorithms designed by people with biases and an agenda, based on data from people with biases and an agenda, marketed by people with biases and an agenda and used by people with biases and an agenda will act perfectly neutrally!
Anyway here's a good read on epistemic vigilance in [commercial] LLMs (tl;dr it's not possible) https://bsky.app/profile/mjcrockett.bsky.social/post/3mfrbukoy5c2s
Things have been pretty quiet in my Minneapolis channels for the last few hours. Looks like this morning was a coordinated sudden strike. Everyone is now vigilant for the next thing, but we don’t know if it’s coming in an hour or a week or a month.

While staying vigilant, we’re embracing the chance to catch our breath and to start healing. The city right now has a bit of the feeling of the days after a natural disaster: there is so much damage to repair.

Even if ICE CBP presence in the Twin Cities goes back to pre-Dec levels (which to be clear it •has not• yet done), we will be living with this for a long time. The world will be moving on, the national press will forget about us no doubt, but we’ll be living with this.
Nobody here thinks we’re done. But a lot of us are cautiously hopeful that we are now entering a time where this is some room for repairing and rebuilding.
Cautiously hopeful. But vigilant.
