There's a good case to be made that America's collapse truly began when all the people who lied the country into a war and a financial crisis were not immediately banished from public life forever, but were instead rewarded with more riches, fame, and media influence.

This is a fair question — “banishment” would mean that after being egregiously wrong and dishonest about the most important crises of the era, the pundit would no longer be paid money for their prognostications, amplified by media outlets, or be considered a credible voice by literally anyone.
Since I'm sure plenty of Bluesky users believe that I am on the list of people who deserve to be banished from public life, I have to say that I'm always curious what this rhetorical trope means exactly.
Through what mechanism would a person be banished?

The Senate has voted 84-9 to advance a bill that would direct ICE to subject migrants to detention if they were accused (not even necessarily guilty) of theft crimes like shoplifting & empower states to undermine federal immigration policy and even go after individual migrants.

There are a lot of critiques of LLMs that I agree with but "they suck and aren't useful" doesn't really hold water.
I understand people not using them because of social, economic, and environmental concerns. And I also understand people using them because they can be very useful.
Thoughts?
