Ron Wyden, the single senator who actually understands technology, has repeatedly tried to address this problem (see: www.techdirt.com/2024/01/31/a...) and Congress has ignored it in favor of performative grandstanding bills that do nothing for child safety (or makes it worse!)

And I feel compelled to point out that when Democrats and Harris did campaign on protecting democracy from Trump they were told quite loudly that voters didn't care about that anymore and to focus on "kitchen table issues" or "Gaza" or *insert pet policy here.*"

Even the bill's own sponsor admitted: "Laws with good intentions have been struck down for violating the First Amendment." If you're acknowledging your bill might be unconstitutional before it even passes, maybe the problem isn't the courts.

That’s why I insist we use the correct terminology from the start, and explain (as I did) why one term is better than another term.

Precision is required in engineering systems. Be precise in your words, regardless of whether others may not readily understand there is distinction between the terms.

I strongly disagree: a bug is repeatable and thus could be tested for. It’s a software and testing failure that caused this.

A glitch is something transient and basically can’t be repeated. Power surge, EM interference, cosmic ray bit upset, cable fraying causing random signal errors, etc.

Glitch refers to a one-off or uncorrectable error. Things like unexpected power fluctuations, cosmic rays, EM interference or things completely out of your control as a software or hardware developer.

This isn’t a glitch, it’s a bug: repeatable and most importantly testing should have found it.

Republicans voted over 70 times (!) to repeal Obamacare even though they knew they didn’t have the numbers, but it pleased the base, kept them energized, and showed that the party is still fighting despite being in the minority.

Another great soup with Thai flavor is tom yum kai (coconut-lime-lemongrass soup). Vegetarian by using tofu instead of chicken. Use red chili paste sparingly if you haven’t used it before - it’s seriously hot. Serve over ramen or pad Thai noodles, add cabbage.

Greek lentil lemon. Entirely vegetarian or add chicken / use chicken broth.
Be gentle with the lemon the first time you make it, it’s not lemonade 🤪
If you cant access WaPo, lots of versions are similar: cumin, coriander, oregano, lentil, butternut, potato…

1-Military in foreign country with zero Congressional approval, against the law (WPA 1973).

How are you turning this into anything but Iraq or Afghanistan Part III? Rebel forces and drug dealers all over the jungle as the new ISIS.

Also, when reporters start talking about the chatbots this way, it is imperative to remind them they are basically asking a toaster for comment. They should be a lot more embarrassed about this than they currently are.

“Grok told CNN…” no it didn’t. You typed stuff into an unreliable calculator.

“We need to be able to get the principals on the record” doesn’t apply to Levi’s, Smith College or Washington University.

What’s more troubling is that Weiss apparently didn’t even try to get the other side. If she had and they refused to talk, that’d be in the stories
