New from me: Over the summer a Rhode Island news site, Uprise RI, began publishing stories written by AI "reporters." Today, I've got a commentary about the experiment -- and AI-fueled journalism, in general -- for the @rhodeislandcurrent.com.

Myles Standish Associates. They’re a real estate co. so I’d guess it’s one of their tenants or maybe a potential tenant? They opposed original PVD license on grounds they owned school building nearby. Fili owner went to GA for an exemption, which is common, but a RI who do I know can fix this thing.

So, was this all a plan? Close the strait of hormuz to slow eastern oil from reaching the US. Shut down wind power expansion. Use up our own oul reserves to keep prices ‘low’ until mid-terms, then cry CRISIS and say we have no choice but to buy Russian oil?

See, it’s possible to use “big tent” and have it include the left.
Asked by NBC 10 about concern over democratic socialists from some Democrats, Foulkes said, "I think we have to be a big tent party."
"I absolutely think that he and I will have a really good relationship," she said of Morales, if they both win.
"I think it's really easy to get hung up on these differences, but he and I really had a great conversation. And I want to be a governor who is supporting Providence and him because I want Providence to succeed. When it succeeds, the whole state does," Foulkes said.And asked by NBC 10 if she would endorse Morales, Foulkes replied, "Yes. I'm a Democrat and he is, too."

So I think two things the general public* needs to acknowledge is that 1) this is very bad, and 2) OF COURSE this is what was going to happen. If the technology is there—and in this case we all know it is—then they are going to use it. Anyway, TGIF!

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings
