We had the technology to google “what temp is done for turkey” before we had AI.
The idea that we need AI to tell us how to cook a turkey because we don’t want to ask other humans ignores the many millenia of people finding ways to give each other answers without asking someone they know.

We know this is a bid for authoritarian governance and at this point it is clear it is failing
We know in other countries, such failures generally end with "and then he fled to Russia" or "and then he went to trial" or "and then he and his entire family were murdered."
Why would we be different?

Trump objectively IS the most openly corrupt president in U.S. history. And suing people to stop them from saying it is part of that unprecedented corruption.
NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."
BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

imo if doctors are in a situation where the correct care for the best interests of the patient is illegal they should break the law
No matter what the politicians say, this is discrimination. Look at how the regulation is worded: This is not a ban on its use for a particular indication, it's a ban for a population.
