God’s Unlikely Messengers One of the great truths of Scripture is that God consistently chooses the least expected people to accomplish His greatest purposes. He used Moses, who doubted himself; David, who was overlooked; and even Cyrus, a pagan king, to restore His people.

We were very pleased to get the news today that the Australian National Dictionary Centre will be saved, thanks to an anonymous donation and the halt on involuntary redundancies under the Renew ANU plan. We thank everyone for their generous support through these difficult times.

LLMs just tell us what we want to hear. Which is wrong. It should be humans telling us what we want to hear. Our new episode with Adam Aleksic @etymology_nerd is out, and you can find it in all the places. https://t.co/MTfX7MyZoO
