Nonsense. It's not possible to steal AI technology. I know this because Google's own LLMs are built using a complete copy of my legal blog, and that's somehow not stealing because, as Google says, a complete copy of my legal blog is both trivial and utterly essential for their tech to work.

Trump's tariffs are a tax on the American people.
He's not billing NATO allies or South Korea or Canada.
He's billing American families, seniors, and working people. We can't afford this chaos.

Gotta suck shit being a true Trump believer. You spend years roiling in anger over made-up bullshit. You fill a little bottle with piss or whatever and spray a 5-foot tall woman with it. She instantly squares up to kick the shit out of you. You go to jail. The goons you idolize say you work for her.

Hi Bridget,

"Many people feel excluded from government decision-making. 84% fear that, when regulating AI, the government will prioritise its partnerships with large technology companies over the public interest"

It's amazing how this radical "step too far" is how every law enforcement officer in the country operated for our entire history.
Tillis says he opposes ICE being barred from wearing masks: "I've seen people dox me. I've seen people take pictures and identify law enforcement officers and then put their families at risk. So, I think that's a step too far."

It should be a career-ending journalistic failure to frame an issue like "sending fascist paramilitaries to murder civilians" as if it's something the perpetrator can just change their tone on.
He's conciliatory? So fucking what? Resignation or impeachment, then tribunal, evidence, and sentence.

Genuinely interesting. Kristi Noem is snitching that Stephen Miller is the one who made up the bullshit about Alex Pretti.
It would be genuinely useful if Congress can get her to admit that he has been dictating ALL OF THIS just like he dictated the murderboats.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
