Learning how to pay attention to small details, how to deliberately strain yourself to notice tiny details that are off, is a skill programmers learn the painful way.
And, using a chatbot deskills you in this very extremely important skill of being able to pay attention to small details.

A generation of programmers who've gleefully deskilled these fundamental skills of "paying attention to detail" and "using those details to construct a mental model" is a generation of programmers who can't fucking program.

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

Trump will be parodied for decades by comedians and satirists, but I can't imagine them coming up with anything more outrageous or disgusting than the way he actually behaves every day in public.

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

From the WaPo:
"An adviser who spoke with Trump ahead of Wednesday’s speech said the president admires Russian President Vladimir Putin’s year-end news conferences, which last more than four hours."
I can't believe an advisor actually admitted this. I can very much believe Trump thinks it.

Dems were in power 12 of the past 25 years with the chance to at least *attempt* to reduce the power of the police state and instead gleefully and massively expanded it at every single opportunity.
They didn't even pretend to oppose any of this shit on principle, only the aesthetics.

A corrupt president pardons a corrupt member of Congress for corrupt reasons. With multiple guilty pleas establishing a bribery-laundering scheme, Hakeem Jeffries still called the case “thin” and sought cover in a bribery-plagued Supreme Court.

Hakeem Jeffries will never lead the Dems where they need to go in order to help the people.
He will choose restoration over reform because he has been groomed by the Establishment.
I wish people could finally accept this.

An easy way to explain luddites:
Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.
And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.
That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.
