Penthouse and the Vietnam War: How does AI handle complex historic events?
How well does ChatGPT discuss complicated historic events? Asking the tool to discuss how U.S. mass media reported on the Vietnam War is no small feat, as the topic requires deep primary source analysis, understanding of political and cultural context, and knowledge of contemporary literature on the subject. Many users have pointed out the flaws of ChatGPT in pulling from real sources, so how could the tool aid an interested user rather than a historian?
Stalking the Wild Tautogram

Introduction I don’t know if this is just me, with my imposter syndrome and feelings of inability and inadequacy, but maybe others may feel this as well.

Mike Singleton - MikeydredPublished 4 months ago in FYIInside the Supreme Court Case that Included Centerfolds, a Pre-Trial Arrest, and an Exploding Wheelchair
With each Supreme Court term comes landmark decisions, headlines about Justices’ remarks, and politicians’ reactions. Every once in a while there is a case that creates a significant legal precedent and has enough tawdry details to land in both the tabloids and in an FBI file. Keeton v.
