If you'd like to delight in a side-by-side comparison, here's Bari Weiss' reported note to CBS staffers (left) and the one I cooked up on ChatGPT with a quickly dashed-off prompt (right). Looking forward to hearing from you in the days and weeks ahead!

I predict that the people calling Dems fanatics & terrorists are going to make sure the big SV companies (all loyalists) don't share data with Dems for elections. That's the deciding factor in modern elections and only the GOP will have access. Private companies may not even let Dems buy ads.

Really, truly amazing that OpenAI wants us to believe that they are worth a trillion dollars but also they are so desperate for revenue that they created an infinite SlopTok app that opens them up to a billion lawsuits just so that they can maybe someday make it even worse by filling it with ads.

I always direct people to @anneapplebaum.bsky.social 's Autocracy, Inc. - the international transactional grift she describes there isn't ideological in the way that fascism, communism etc are. I've noticed my students find it very helpful in understanding our particular historical predicament.

Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

President Macron: “Europeans, let's wake up!

We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks.”
