Look at this photograph.

Southpaw adds: Melania and Trump each look into the camera lens; Trump is intensely bug eyed and stiff while Melania looks desolated and betrayed. Xi watches them impassively.

Imagine the rage of the DoD official who just risked their career to leak that China stole critical F-35 stealth components only to see the commander in chief avoid any confrontations that might distract from showing our adversary the hideously gaudy shrine he is building for himself

I’ve known at least two malignant narcissists in my life and it was very striking to me that both of them would be, in an unguarded moment, fondly recollecting some happy moments we had shared—and I couldn’t recognize the events they were describing at all.

So we know AI helped a negligible number of students. But how many did it harm? I've crunched the raw data provided by the lead researcher, and what I've found is that ~9,500 students using AI studied less than even the *least* studious, non-AI using student. This should shock the conscience.

So, my guess for McConnell is that he fell into the new dystopian world of ECPR where life support measures can continue indefinitely beyond the traditional limiting factors of heart or lung failure—to say nothing of brain death. An emerging intervention that is currently challenging our ethics.
