This is an under-appreciated point about using LLMs to summarize text (turning a longer text into a shorter text that maintains the essence of the original). Making summaries is hard to do well! It requires understanding and subtlety.
Making a BAD summary is an easy task for an LLM, which flattens everything probabilistically. People using these cheap tools are going to be throwing a lot of babies out with a lot of bathwater and never even knowing it. infosec.exchange/@david_chisna…

The U.S. presidential election is taking place in about seven states. If you’re in one of those states, you know that. Otherwise you may not realize: The presidential election is taking place elsewhere and you’re not relevant.
How can ANYONE still like our absurd Electoral College system? It keeps choosing the losing candidate. It disenfranchises most of the country. It’s a farce.

Damone: “Kids stuff? What about the tunes? I Want You To Want Me. The Dream Police da da da da da da da da.”

@Nemethon I'd like to be two cats, then I could play together 😉

Since tomorrow is the return of Bandcamp Friday, this #ThrowbackThursday I'm gonna point to this collection of tracks from my first 20 years of doing this stuff (released in 2017):
If noise and/or dark ambient are more your thing, you might like to check out the second volume of this collection instead:
A special behind-the-scenes video for Patreons. These little guys have been sold out for ages, but Radxa slipped me a review unit.
Okay, maybe just most of one.
