American leftists may need to explain why it's "racist" to hold minorities responsible for their votes. Every American voter is an agent of empire, not just the white ones.

AI usage: 87% of executives use AI for work; 57% managers; 27% of employees.
This is both easy to believe and easy to misinterpret. AI is *genuinely* useful if what matters is FORM. Terrible at SUBSTANCE.
If useful for your job = your job just form.
