Trump's economy is being held up by a massive AI bubble.
A recent study found that of 300 companies that owned generative AI tools, 95% reported zero return on their investments.
We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.
They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

it literally wasn't until grad school that someone in authority told me: writing isn't the result of thinking, *it is a form of thinking*
writing it out is how you figure out what you want to say. it's how you develop your understanding.

It's not just fdr. One of the things the epa did not long after it was formed was document the nation's pollution via photography. That can seem frivolous, but generations of Americans have no idea why the EPA was necessary. This broke a million views when we published it in 2017

Daily reminder that the underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.
Anyway, AI has already stolen friends’ work, and is going to put other people out of work.
I do not think a political party that claims to be the party of workers in this country should be using it. Even for just a silly joke.
