"Which essentially amounts to: instead of producing something flawed and human you made something that a lot of people are not going to look at out of principle, and which (having seen plenty of LLM-written text at this point) I know is just going to cap out at 'barely adequate' in quality anyway."

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.
There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.
This is my favorite guide.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.
