While this constitutes an "improvement" in the technology in some manner of speaking, it's unclear whether this is a desirable development. It strikes me as a step that makes detecting more difficult without confering any significant epistemic improvement.
In other words, if the system has really been adjusted to avoid citing fake papers, this constitutes a deliberate choice to create more persuasive bullshit.
Steve SchmidtIf you live in a state where books are being banned, the Brooklyn Public Library offers a free eCard nationwide to those aged 13 to 21 to access their entire digital catalog for one year in an effort to combat this terrible act. Link here:

WHO urges travellers to wear masks as new COVID variant spreads
Countries should consider recommending that passengers wear masks on long-haul flights, given the rapid spread of the latest Omicron subvariant of COVID-19 in the United States, World Health Organization (WHO) officials said on Tuesday.

“What has been exposed over these last days — thanks to the exquisite placement of C-SPAN cameras — is how ill-served the American people will be by the McCarthy Congress. Make no mistake, though its majority is small, its danger is great.”
A tragic week for America
There is a contradiction inherent in this moment. It is the “best of times,” and it is the “worst of times.” Without question, there is no period of human history that has ever existed that is preferable to our own. There is no epoch that has been more just or peaceful. There is no time where there has been greater justice and opportunity. There is no era of utopia from which we have fallen back that is now unattainable.

A rare alignment: Hannity/Ruhle vs. Boebert
“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” John Quincy Adams, 6th President of the United States There is an addlement in the American character that induces an imbecility through which it is impossible to grasp complex issues and process them outside of a binary context. For example, since Lauren Boebert is an extremist loon, and she is opposing Kevin McCarthy that must make Kevin McCathy the “good guy” in the perpetually simplistic white hat vs. black hat scenario that is delivered to the American people by the overwhelming majority of the American media.
