I think that Musk had to agree; otherwise it would look like his AI is not a threat to humanity because it is behind the other frontier models

I disagree. I think politics has everything to do with the current court’s willingness to ignore precedent and invent rationales (e.g., major questions doctrine, originalism) for their preferred outcomes

Suggesting that Ds were strictly to blame for the DHS shutdown is just parroting a GOP talking point. Rs could have negotiated an earlier end but refused to fix their dumpster fire program that murdered two American citizens.

The blame has always rested with Congress and the Supreme Court, either of which could have put up constitutional guardrails. Trump’s impulses are increasingly extreme as he realizes that there are no constraints.

I subscribed to the N&O for many years, then recently cut costs and kept up through Apple News+. Your columns were my favorite part of the paper. Maybe Chip can turn out the lights when he leaves.

Three judges appointed by Republicans- one by W and two by Trump. Justice isn’t blind - it’s purely partisan these days

They think they are being cute, favoring legacy power industries and sticking it to those favored by Dems, but ultimately economics has the final say. Coal is on the way out, and federal effort is better spent providing a path to alternative employment for those folks.
