Not going to happen. Cost benefit is already peaking for AI use. Turns out, renting time on a super computer to replace the interns is a terrible idea. Nevermind the odds of introducing catastrophic risk to your company systems.

I no longer recognize this vengeful, cruel, spiteful country. We have always been flawed but it is as if a great evil we have nurtured for 250 years has been unleashed. Ignorance, wrath, pride, have triumphed and humanity stripped away. Horrific.

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.

The Constitution bans religious tests for public office. A “biblical worldview” test for SCOTUS nominees is Christian nationalism. Justices should interpret the Constitution, not impose ancient religious mythology on the rest of us.

Embarrassment is not a justification for redaction. In fact, one reason FOIAs exist is to potentially "embarrass" out of control public servants.

It was already the case that the money this gig economy nonsense paid barely covered the cost of operating a vehicle. Drivers survived on tips like sub-minimum wage waiters. The gas spike and less consumer money to tip should end this farce.
