IDEA: ChatGPT by phone, but instead it is a proxy to the people whose phone number Trump gave out to the public.

On August 1, the federal government ends its contract providing more than 20,000 unaccompanied immigrant children with legal representation. At the same time, attorneys report that immigration judges are taking a “deport at all costs” approach to their young clients.

If I add a SBC for my esp32 computers to use as an MQTT broker/worker the ratio between the esp32-to-SBC is like adding a datacenter. Thinking maybe I should go all in and make it act like a cloud. Could run moto or robotocore on it.

Pypi meant many, but not all, coding problems could be solved for free. LLMs have had, will have an impact similar to pypi, except pypi doesn't talk to you and people generally hate entities that talk to you. Social constraints keep us from being open about hating the talking fleshy entities.

The alt-health industry is just a resurrection of snake oil salesmen from the 19th century. It's just patent medicines that back then were often nothing more than flavored water, alcohol, laudanum or morphine. In other words, they were often selling you nothing, or an addictive drug.

the alt health industry will always be right wing because its entire business model is built around destroying all regulations so it can lie to people and sell them fake cures that don't work. it is not a legitimate business of any kind
