Trump’s EPA revokes the Law of Conservation of Energy. Says speeds of light, sound plus Fleming’s Left-Hand Rule ”under review”.
You cannot 'revoke' a scientific finding, there are plenty of things you cand do with it, but 'revoke' is not one of them:
The Trump admin revoked a scientific finding that has long been the central basis for the fight against climate change

The spreadsheet on this clay tablet, which is almost 4,000 years old, is organised into columns for furrowed area, grain produced, land not sown, and the field’s name.
The first field is called “Of the soldiers who stood in for their fathers”.
It’s ancient Excel, but I find that incredibly moving

The first episode of Bagpuss was originally broadcast on this day in 1974. Created by Peter Firmin and Oliver Postgate, the series ran for just 13 episodes (with voices provided by Postgate, Sandra Kerr and John Faulkner).

No. It's not. The argument is that it's stealing work from people. Ruining the labour market and damaging critical thinking skills. That it's useless, fake, shit and basically the same as NFTs... Is a coincidence.
The predominent anti-AI position on bsky is that AI is useless, fake, shit and basically the same as NFTs, destined to collapse in months once everyone sees how poor it is. So anyone who suggests that it could improve or be useful to any boss in any situation in the future must be evil.

As the brilliant @tiffstevenson.bsky.social pointed out - Pam Bondi used to be such a gentle character that she was nicknamed "Pambi" - but nowadays she's known as "Punt"
Imagine seeing photos and videos of ugly old men raping underage girls and thinking, "I need to protect those horrible men at all costs."?
Pam Bondi is a soulless villain.
