I hope you’ll read my story about AI programming in the context of amateur, personal computing (and to that end, here’s a gift link: tinyurl.com/2hf9hv4v). But this paragraph is the one I’d pull out if I had to choose one.
Excerpt from an Atlantic article by Ian Bogost:

This makes the aesthetics of vibe coding entirely familiar to programmers. The moment-to-moment experience of coding feels the same, but you do so at a greater remove. Realizing this made me understand why programmer types might find generative AI so immediately compelling, and also why they might not grasp the objections of people in other walks of life who oppose it. Using AI to create prose or illustrations seems to erase the experience of the writer or artist and their participation in the act of creation. It clobbers the process in favor of the outcome. But for a programmer, the outcome and the process improve all at once. Nothing about AI programming feels like a compromise or cheat. It just feels like programming.

The Trump administration ignored the court’s instructions again. Over 400 trees were chopped down at D.C.’s public East Potomac Golf Links over the holiday weekend without proper advance notice even after government lawyers promised the judge ample warning before any irreversible work.

A federal judge has ordered the Trump Regime to immediately stop airing $20 million dollars in taxpayer funded campaign-style tv ads, but in typical Trump fashion, he’s already violated that court order. Why Trump is so desperate to air these ads before the Midterms: youtu.be/QKnSh_lrNLI?...

NEW: Once he became president, Trump waged a multi-year war against Marc Elias and others who worked for Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign. Now, the battleground is moving to SCOTUS where Trump is trying to salvage the case because he never gives up — but neither does Marc.

Trump hates me personally. Now he’s taking it to the Supreme Court
When I tell people that Donald Trump hates me, they often assume I mean it in a generic sense — that he hates Democrats and people who fight him in court. No, I correct them: he hates me personally.

Huh. Apparently Katie Miller deleted this tweet that I had the foresight to screencap. Turns out I can TOO make things go viral on Xitter, even.
My RT of a Katie Miller tweet which RTed the NYPost coverage of the Ilhan Omar raid. 

She said: Promise made, promise kept.
I said: Katie Miller is not going to do very well in a deposition.

Yes. MAGA constantly funds candidates they expect will take votes away from Dems--candidates who won't get enough votes to win, but will subtract enough votes from Dems so that Republicans win.
