At On SI, I wrote about why the Sixers should hope the Mavericks buy out Khris Middleton... and what could prevent them from signing him even if they do.

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Ok I'll bet the other side. This is snake oil that Americans are gonna have to bail out in the next year. And if I'm right then I get to host Chris's show for a week.
I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.
