Inspectors General offices have been downsized by 19%. Not surprisingly then, they are providing 25% fewer investigations despite there being much more to investigate. Reports are also taking longer to be published. The acting IG for Education was removed after she complained about stonewalling.

To be clear, the orange felon didn’t make a deal for cheaper beef to help Americans, he orchestrated a plan to flood the US with unknown foreign mystery meat to sicken the population whilst simultaneously betraying ranchers who voted for him. Yes he’s a fraud, but he’s also sadistic.

I hear the same people talking about 'emergent behavior' of LLMs. I feel like what they are missing is that the only emergent behavior is that their are minds anthropomorphizing a language generator, because they equate language fluency with intelligence.

There's no good reason to use LLMs, and nearly every vaguely legit use case I've seen could be solved with a plain Google search or a simple screen reader and OCR. In other words, with tools we've had for a decade. Why are people fooled by these ELIZA machines?

It's fair because they were never YOUR slots to begin with. Nothing was stolen. We just opened the door a little wider. More players means more tables, means more games. You just might have to play with people who don't look exactly like you--and that's a GOOD thing.

Deep down people know that despite all the sales pitches in the world, so-called AI isn't actually for them. It's meant to manage them, control them, and long term quite frankly replace them. This is hand in hand with the rising Plutonimy and the growing consumer irrelevance of the masses.
