If you are in California I strongly urge you to vote for prop 50. It is not the perfect solution but it’s the only solution we have rn to stop the spread of fascism. It will be our duty as citizens to make sure it does revert back in 2030 though.

Meanwhile, an MIT study found that 95% of companies using AI haven't seen returns on investment.
