Trump's lawlessness is more pressing, but let's not forget: the GWBush admin was also overflowing with incompetent, corrupt Republicans who were pathologically hostile to the rule of law. None of this was necessary or helpful, but it made them feel manly and it was good money for gov't contractors.

“A detainee who is shackled, transported to a former C.I.A. black site, and intentionally kept ignorant of both his right to remain silent and the inadmissibility of his prior coerced confessions, cannot be said to be making an ‘essentially free and unconstrained choice,’” he wrote.

There's an old line about the inherent contradiction of keeping guns for self-defense while also claiming to be a responsible gun-owner, because self-defense requires loaded guns be readily accessible, while responsible ownership requires unloaded guns to be locked up separately from their ammo.

And there is, I think, a similar line to be made about the inherent contradiction of claiming to use AI responsibly to help with things outside your expertise, because if you lack the expertise to fact-check AI, you can't be using it responsibly, but if you have the expertise, you don't need AI.

Too many proposals to regulate AI treat data privacy, children's safety, worker rights, and market concentration as separate issues. My National AI Charter policy changes the entire market structure, forcing AI companies to shut down their dangerous models BEFORE harm occurs.

A graphic titled "A National AI Charter Could Stop Dangerous AI Before Harm Occurs" lists several points:

1. End to Big Tech Monopolies
2. Ban on Mass Surveillance
3. Ban on AI Theft
4. Ban on Labor Exploitation
5. Ban on Rogue AI
6. Ban on AI That Can Create Catastrophic Risks
7. Ban on Exploitative AI

Also, as much as there are some moderate Dems across the country running that I’m not thrilled about, I encourage everyone to vote for them. The more we run up the score, the less whatever insane dangerous crap he tries to pull will work. You can sow doubt on a 51/49 result, but not on a 70/30 one.

All of fashion is in dialogue with the world around it, the history before it, and our ideas of the future. Nothing comes from nothing and everything reflects truths about the world it arises in. Below are two photos that Black folks likely will see quite differently. Do you know why?

A group of five Black models in a Ralph Lauren HBCU partnered 1950's inspired athletic prep collection.

A Ralph Lauren polo cover showing a dog and six male models, mostly White with one prominent Black member, in 1950s inspired classic athletic preppy style.
