@thepressbox.bsky.social we've got a media piss test with an AI twist: "... the AI narrative is 'Uber for X' on hallucinogenic steroids"
"...with the casino-ification of the economy, the breakdown of a meaningful regulatory apparatus to rein in all of the above—well, it has all come just in time to give novice investors a vehicle to sink their savings into the vague promise of superintelligence."

Justice Jackson is annoying the Republicans on the court and going beyond her fellow Democrats in making very sharp criticisms of recent rulings by the court's right-wing majority. That's leadership. She is the rare Dem in a powerful role meeting the moment. newrepublic.com/article/1975...
Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Heterodox Critiques of SCOTUS’s Right Wing
The newest justice has emerged as the court’s left-wing iconoclast, unafraid to break unwritten rules in challenging her conservative colleagues’ ideological project.

The Strategy the Trump Administration Is Using to Hide Its Court Defiance
The executive branch is relying on the language of the law as cover to claim that it is complying with court orders when in fact it is not.

Trumpists want to argue for a future-world that doesn't yet exist, in which the tariffs create a perfect equilibrium for US growth. But the tariff plan announced yesterday does exist. We can read it. It does not make sense and is not defensible on its own terms.
