Unfortunately it was writing this about Trump and it went so viral that he saw it and, I'm told, was actually upset about it.
Yes. Subtract AI “investment” and we are in a recession.
You’re probably right. I suspect it depends on the company. Anecdote: I had lunch with a public-company COO who believes they can get rid of their (already-offshored) customer service staff because generative AI can do it. He said nothing of doing it better, of course.
I’m deeply skeptical too, but a lot of CEOs I’ve talked to absolutely believe this shit. They have bought it hook, line, and sinker and we’re going to see massive pain as a result (including at these companies).

1. This is CBP, not ICE
2. Law enforcement agencies have long had access to all kinds of shit they shouldn't
3. It's great to see that neighborhood welcoming committee in action!
Yes indeed! But online, everyone says "ICE" even when it's CBP or someone else. This thread is a great example.
Everyone gets “Unit/Uniform” wrong - for example, this is CBP, not ICE.

I wrote about the aggrieved extremist who is currently firing thousands of federal workers and ravaging state capacity based on conspiratorial nonsense - and about mainstream media’s infuriating tendency to sanitize Russell Vought and the regime he serves.

This week’s piece:
We need to talk about Russell Vought – But Properly
Why certain mainstream outlets insist on sanitizing Vought as a devout “small government” conservative – and what actually animates his war against pluralistic democracy

Not on behalf of - let's not let them off that easy - it's terrorism on the part of the regime!
“Historians sometimes say that when societies are descending into fascism, it can be hard for the people to notice it in real time. Well, historians of the future, I’m here to tell you: We are noticing. Millions of us are noticing. And we are horrified and enraged.”

And in an evac you can bet those same people are going to be blocking the aisles as they fumble around for bags they never should have brought aboard in the first place.
With accuracy rates like this (OpenAI’s own research), what could go wrong?
what's with the weird spacing in graf 4?
Wow! Glad no one was hurt.

(I know it doesn't matter much but that was CBP, not ICE.)
Further, the Senator is confused. “Worse than Watergate” is every day of the Trump Administration.
The pre-Jack Smith FBI investigation. Some GOP senators got mad because FBI got a warrant for some of their cell phone records around January 6.
