the Ai thing is already an existential crisis for the publishing industry- google stole the entire internet for its summaries and destroyed an entire industry that existed in subservience to its algorithm - there were lots of people who trusted them not to be evil who’ve been totally humiliated

A few hundred noncitizen votes are a national scandal. But when states reject hundreds of thousands of ballots from eligible voters, it’s business as usual
One state rejected ballots because some voters failed to include their mother’s maiden name on the back of the return envelope.
