Sitting at a bar and the old couple next to me were arguing about how a kitchen reno could impact your insurance cost. Lady then says "let's ask chat" and she did not mean twitch chat, she pulled up the chatgpt app. Chat, we're cooked.

When people say they’re anti-AI, they’re clearly talking about generative AI in the arts and LLM slop that C-Suite jackoffs want to use to replace them. You know this. I know this. Everyone knows this. So the “then don’t use spellcheck if you hate AI” talking point is disingenuous horseshit.

Trump will reverse course when the bankers dangle some money at him. But until then, a note about the admin hypocrisy regarding credit cards: www.reuters.com/business/fin...
President Donald Trump’s administration on Monday asked a federal court to throw out a regulation capping credit card late fees at $8, saying it agreed with business and banking groups that alleged in a lawsuit that the rule was illegal.

The filing in federal court in Texas by the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and business groups that brought the case asked U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman in Fort Worth to enter a final order terminating the late fee rule.

Pittman had previously blocked the CFPB from implementing the rule, which was part of Democratic President Joe Biden's broader crackdown on "junk fees,” though Trump’s Republican administration could have defended the rule on appeal.
