Rhetoric, my friend. Rhetoric. Ask yourself how the Republicans gained both houses. From the reasoned and conciliatory pronouncements of Newt Gingrich and Mitch McConnell?

Take a look at Joshua Gans recent post. I recently submitted an essay about it called "We, The Bookends". Will let you know when it gets published.

This guy wrote a book that, I'm ashamed to say, I accidentally bought once.

Making fun of Natalie's letters is perfectly legit. Making fun of Hegseth's or Patel's drinking issues is less so, but harping on their stupidity is. BTW: what does an Ivy League degree even mean anymore?

So far AI is proving good at proofs, but I have not read of any novel conjectures coming from AI. When will AI develop this kind of curiosity and speculation? Next week?

and writing is now idea-->AI writes-->proofread but no one wants to publish a purely AI-written essay, even if the concept is novel and the writing is passable. But this will have to change, I expect.

I stopped writing code for my personal projects about a year ago. My workflow is now iteratively: conceive-->AI implements-->test

Joshua Gans had an interesting take on this. Basically, humans' job is now to provide the bookends to AI's work.

They can declare it, but they have to fight for it. Given the level of competence in this administration, they'll likely trip over their own bootlaces first.

Michael Warburton's description is wrong. Elton wasn't playing this for the first time in front of Bernie and Maxine. The footage of them was intercut from a separate interview and they weren't in the room with him. Original show, an edition of 'Aquarius', is here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDY2...

I just hope when there's a next Democratic PRESIDENT, they stomp all over the republicans and right-wing press. Then *maybe*, when they cry uncle, we can get back to playing fair.

to be clear, the admin is alleged to have deported AT LEAST 25,447 individuals TO COUNTRIES THAT ARE NOT THEIR OWN with, evidently, ZERO PROTECTIONS. this is a scandal and crime of historic proportions.
