Really smart take here. A good amount of harm that generative AI is producing in modern society is coming from the fact that a ton of people (sometimes including police) have bought into fantasies about what the technology can actually do.

Anyone talking about making people work longer for retirement & not mentioning taxing billionaires isn't worth listening to, indeed is worthy of ridicule.

Gotta love it: "The Stop Presidential Embezzlement Act would impose a 100 percent tax on any settlement a president, vice president, cabinet member, or member of Congress receives from the government as a result of a lawsuit filed while in office."

remember how they fired most of the FAA and then we stopped thinking about it because they kept doing more horrible shit?

just asking for no reason.
Since a couple people have asked, I have no idea why El Paso airspace was closed. Working my contacts, a couple theories but nothing to say out loud yet.

If you have insight please contact me on signal at gbrockell.44.

Flagging: Trump directed top U.S. spy agencies to share sensitive intelligence about the 2020 election with Kurt Olsen, who we just learned helped launched the FBI raid on Fulton County.

Olsen is a 2020 election denier who tried to overturn the results of the election. tinyurl.com/3tyrd7xm
MS NOW: The FBI's criminal investigation into Fulton County's 2020 ballots originated from a referral sent by Kurt Olsen.

I checked out realfood.gov, the new government website from Mike Tyson's Super Bowl ad.

It encourages people to use Grok to "get real answers about real food," yet Grok's advice conflicts with the administration's own nutrition messaging.

My latest for @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/rfk-jr...
RFK Jr. Says Americans Need More Protein. His Grok-Powered Food Website Disagrees
The site Realfood.gov uses Elon Musk’s Grok chatbot to dispense nutrition information—some of which contradicts the government’s new guidelines.

His employment numbers are bad because he cut hundreds of thousands of jobs, see, but it's OK because all of those people who lost their jobs now have private sector jobs that are paying better, but apparently we don't count those in the employment numbers?

There was so much ICE activity today. A group of agents spent the whole morning inside Jimmy’s Bar and then ended up driving erratically all throughout the Holland & Como neighborhoods, eventually trying to park at the 2nd precinct police station.

In 2024, Trump stated that only himself and Dan Scavino have access to his Truth Social account.
