If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

“what would you have done?” is no longer a hypothetical thought exercise. if you’re not doing anything, there’s your answer.

Here are two straightforward and incontrovertible statements of law about Mahmoud Khalil:

2) Khallil is a "prisoner of conscience" as defined by Amnesty International

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Don’t you dare do this Oregon
Many Oregonians want an end to twice a year daylight-saving-time changes in spring and fall. But moving to permanent standard time means an end to long Oregon summer evenings when the sun sets as late as 9 p.m. and twilight extends the day even longer. My story: www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...
Oregon lawmakers once again attempt to end daylight saving time
Even if Oregon lawmakers approve the end of hourly time changes, Washington and California also must act for it to happen.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.
Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.
