Since some of us are pretending that LLMs are conscious again today, it's probably a good time to post this short story. If for no other reason than to help me find it again the next time I want to read it. qntm.org/mmacevedo

It's fascinating to me that at a time when it is becoming more and more obvious LLM companies aren't exercising ordinary care, they are also going out of their way to tell us all that the service they provide is inherently dangerous

reminder: this is only america’s 250th birthday if you believe life begins at conception. the constitution went into effect on march 4, 1789. we have 13 years to get the real 250th birthday right

damn.
The history of the Supreme Court is written in stone, but it is also written in moments. In Wong Kim Ark, a Supreme Court made up of people who them- selves harbored racist anti-Chinese racist beliefs nev- ertheless stood up to that moment and defended the Constitution. In contrast, in Korematsu v. United States, 323 U.S. 214 (1944), the Supreme Court al- lowed fear and bigotry to subjugate the Constitution, a mistake that this Court would later say was "wrong the day it was decided, has been overruled in the court of history, and—to be clear—has no place in law under
the Constitution." Trump v. Hawaii, 585 U.S. 667, 710 (2018) (cleaned up). This is another moment for the Court. Will it follow the path this Court blazed in
Wong Kim Ark? Or will it issue another Korematsu?

If SCOTUS does overrule Wong Kim Ark, the stare decisis section is going to be even worse than the one in Dobbs, right?

Huh I seem to recall a relevant text about this.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.-

When Congress gutted federal fuel efficiency standards, it may not have realized that it might also be opening the door for state standards. legal-planet.org/2025/07/28/d...

Does Federal Law Still Preempt State Standards Relating to Fuel Efficiency? - Legal Planet
There’s a decent argumentthat Congress has (unwittingly) eliminated federal preemption of state standards relating to fuel efficiency.
