>> Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task <<

>>While LLMs offer immediate convenience, our findings highlight potential cognitive costs. Over four months, LLM users consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels. These results raise concerns about the long-term educational implications of LLM reliance and underscore the need for deeper inquiry into AI's role in learning.<<

So the #MAGA #shutdown and stop of #SNAP is making people hungry in the #USA - and the American soldiers take away the food of poor German seniors from the "socialist" German #food banks.
Yes, the US #military told their soldiers in #Germany to get their food from German food programs for the #poor just because the USA decided to prefer giving money to #Argentina instead of feeding their own employees...
So the American super rich finally let their own military starve so much they have to take the food of the poor of Germany. What a shame...

This is a constitutional crash.

>> America is failing on almost all five of those freedom tests right now—all the institutions we would expect to step up to object, to lobby congress to care and do its constitutional job, to put pressure on elected officials on all levels, are falling short right now.<<

>> America’s constitution is functionally dead right now — but it’s not dead dead. Yet.<<

When Do Parties Lie? Misinformation and Radical-Right Populism Across 26 Countries

"Using multilevel analysis with random country intercepts, we find that radical-right populism is the strongest determinant for the propensity to spread misinformation. Populism, left-wing populism, and right-wing politics are not linked to the spread of misinformation. These results suggest that political misinformation should be understood as part and parcel of the current wave of radical right populism, and its opposition to liberal democratic institution."

>>As Biden cancels (some) student debt, remember why the debt exists. A key Reagan advisor warned in 1970 that free college was producing the dangerously explosive "dynamite" of an "educated proletariat," and "we have to be selective on who we allow to go through higher education" << - Jon Schwarz - (@schwarz) August 24, 2022
