The target audience for AI is people from 1990s infomercials who literally can’t do anything, people who open a cabinet and 50 Tupperware containers come tumbling out at them before they slip on a banana peel and can’t get up again.

Here we go with all the same process-based excuses people use when we talk about the DOJ's failure to hold the coup plotters accountable. Now they're all pardoned or in power, and Trump will probably pardon Maxwell on his way out too.

On Oct 1, 2025, GISAID informed us that they had ended updates to the flat file of SARS-CoV-2 genomic sequences and associated metadata that we had used to update Nextstrain analyses since Feb 2020. GISAID's stated rationale was that their "resources are limited". 1/5

Nothing bad ever happens when young people are excluded from the job market for extended periods of time.
Excluding covid, the unemployment rate is at its highest level in over 8 years.
The labor market is deteriorating particularly quickly for young workers, who are facing a 10.6% unemployment rate.

In 1938–1942, Hitler systematically downgraded Germany’s military command structure, sidelined independent generals, abolished the War Ministry, and concentrated control under OKW, ultimately making himself supreme commander. It was a deliberate centralization of military power.
