I’ll say it; I think this is bad. I think there’s growing pressure to talk about AI in this kind of coded language that destroys understanding, rather than facilitating it. People want you to recite a list of its supposed weaknesses as a reassurance for themselves, not to inform others.

Sadly, this is THE moment when “just vote” won't do. They are actively working to manipulate the rules, undermine trust in elections, and create excuses to challenge results they don’t like so sitting this one out? Not an option. Democracy doesn’t protect itself, we do. We need to remember that.

If executive branch creates a system so that people under government control can be located and then just stops listing some people in that system — despite their still being under government control — that should be a five-alarm fire for the other branches, the states, and the public.

When no one believes a country can pay back its debts, people stop buying its bonds. And if that happens, it starts to mean the currency or money is worthless because the markets stop believing it has value. The belief that the US was a stable country meant we could basically spend what we want.
