Important perspective to keep in mind — especially as the cognitive decline via gen AI comes on the heels of unprecedented drops in reading levels and comprehension across almost all schooling. The fail points are many and gen AI is one reason but not the only cause.

I've said this before and again: modern transphobia, with its intense focus on youth being "corrupted" into trans-ness is basically word for word old school 1930s Nazi propaganda about homosexuality, that Jews were corrupting the youth there can be no trans rights with antisemitism.

I've had to work against AI a lot in my job because I need my company to show up in AI queries and AI simply doesn't work without a hand to direct and correct it. Understanding AI is going to be a requirement for many jobs in tech adjacent fields, but as it exists now AI is a tool, not a worker.

Today we celebrate the PDFing of "Declaration FINAL v3 USE THIS ONE - SIGNED.docx" (Jefferson's draft was heavily edited by the Committee, then again by Congress, and he was big mad about it.)

System Notification: User t_jefferson_33 has left the chat.

The draft of the Declaration was revised first by Adams and Franklin, and then by the full committee. A total of 47 alterations, including the insertion of three complete paragraphs, were made to the text before it was presented to Congress on June 28. After voting for independence on July 2, Congress continued to refine the document, making 39 additional revisions to the committee draft before its final adoption on the morning of July 4.

The draft shows the multiplicity of corrections, additions and deletions that were made at each step. Although most of the alterations are in Jefferson's handwriting (Jefferson later indicated which changes he believed were made by Adams and Franklin), he felt slighted by the way Congress rewrote the manuscript. In a consoling letter of July 21, 1776, the state's senior delegate, Richard Henry Lee, wrote to Jefferson that he wished that "the manuscript had not been mangled as it is." In an 1823 letter to Madison, Jefferson wrote that, at the time, "during the debate, I was sitting by Dr. Franklin and he observed that I was writhing a little under the acrimonious criticisms" of Congress. In fact, as Congress neared completion of the document by altering nearly all of his last paragraph, Jefferson could only write in the margin "a different phraseology inserted." Jefferson remained bitter about the changes made to the Declaration of Independence right up to his death. His autobiography was a major effort to set the record straight on its writing.

This is the second time I’ve seen ‘HR’ in a conspiratorial manner this week. First was the ‘HR Lady’ and now ‘HR Jews’. What’s the beef with HR?

A screenshot of a court document of a discrimination lawsuit that says:

**A. Permanent Professional Debarment**
In Plaintiff's industry of employment, the human resources departments (who are ultimately responsible for hiring) are led and disproportionately staffed by Jewish women. These "HR Jews" already discriminate against non-Jewish White males such as Plaintiff. Motion for Pseudonym Section III.3 notes that Plaintiff's coworkers receiving early promotions disproportionately have Jewish names. Plaintiff, who is trained in statistics, has computed the probability of such an event occurring by chance to be on the order of 1 in a billion; in comparison, in criminal trials for crimes such as rape or murder, the probability of a false positive result DNA evidence is estimated by experts to be on the order of 1 in a thousand. Furthermore, many high-level managers at large employers have publicly stated their organizations policies prohibit the hiring of White males. Some of these employers implement policies whereby a White male could be hired only if an "exception" were granted by a high-level manager at the organization – to Plaintiff's knowledge, these "exceptions" were given exclusively to Jews. Considering...iminate against non-Jewish White males, it is re...uld be completely debarred from traditional emplo... Plaintiff alleging favored treatment of Jews in university admissions.
