I'm still processing the fact that the UCP is promoting the fact that they are using AI to write their laws.
It's such a monumentally bad idea - and that's saying a fucking lot with everything that's going on.

Life tip: microwaves cannot heat up ice, just water. This is why your soup is frozen on the inside and boiling on the outside.
1. Add water. Give it something to heat.
2. Longer on lower power. Give it time to heat the liquid so it can melt the frozen food.

The snake oil salesmen are wondering why trading snake oil between each other isn't working out.
Newsletter: Crypto’s latest “infinite money machine” is the digital asset treasury company — a publicly traded firm that exists primarily to accumulate crypto. For a while, these stocks traded at hefty premiums to the underlying assets. But now, the trade is unraveling.

Convincing traders to pay $2 for $1 of bitcoin worked — for a while. As premiums evaporate, an unwind could be painful.

As the UCP pushed for privatization, why has no one brought up that it makes the service more expensive?
Every time they talk about it, we need to counter with "stop making things more expensive"

The idea that a private company can run a business better than a public company is crazy to me.
All things being equal, the public company will be cheaper because it doesn't have to have a profit.
The "efficiency" in a private company is lowering wages and quality.

Its near "super intelligence" "replacing professionals" in the PR rounds, then once everyone is convinced and uses them for legal and medical advice, following the deceptive marketing, they slip it in the terms of service that you shouldn't do that.
