Him: well what's your big brain idea to eliminate food assistance fraud? Me: universal food assistance Him: Me: because there wouldn't be a system to cheat, everyone would just get a check Him: and who does that benefit? Me: family farmers and human beings who rely on food for nutrition Him: what about rich people? Me: what about them? Him: you would give them food assistance too? Me: that's what universal means Him: you can't do that Me: yesterday you said I couldn't tax them and now you won't let me feed them either? Him: they can afford food Me: then it should be fine to tax them Him: but if you tax them they won't have as much money Me: I'm willing to offer universal food assistance

Had a morning discussion about media literacy with a group of young professionals. Many of them are concerned about where to get news now that they've abandoned Tiktok. A few of them are trying to use LLMs to fact check blog sources. Y'all we have so much work to do. I can't keep explaining to adults that AI isn't intelligent and an LLM is functionally unable to "know" anything. I'm begging you to talk to your peers about this so I don't have to worry about the world of information literacy any more today. It is 10am and I'm exhausted with the planet. #Wednesday
