There was discourse just this morning about AI "solving" stuff. I tell students and even ppl in my field all the time, if you're trying to solve unsolved problems or navigate new ones, the machine that only knows what's been tried and is specially built to make you feel smart isn't gonna do it.

Surprising no one, Blanche just said they will violate this law by withholding “hundreds of thousands” of documents for weeks.
Then there’ll be fights about redactions, court orders, appeals, and more appeals. They do not comply with laws they don’t like. Impeach and be done with him.

Suppose they were going to reboot The McLaughlin Report, with you in the central role, who would you have on the panel?

12 dead at a mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach.💔
A 43-year-old father of two, Ahmed al Ahmed, snuck up & tackled a gunman to disarm him. Ahmed was shot twice.

Remember the heroes, not the terrorists. Serious guts from this guy saved many. May he have a speedy recovery.
The hero of Bondi: Ahmed el Ahmed, a 43 year old fruit shop owner from Sutherland. He grabbed the gun off one of the terrorists shooting at Jews during a Hanukkah celebration.
Ahmed was then shot in the leg and shoulder by another terrorist. He’s being treated in the hospital and expected to be OK.

Just saw the holiday ad for Hilton Hapton Inns. In it, someone throws a pitcher of orange juice in a pan fire.
DO NOT DO THIS!!
Throwing water, etc. Into a grease fire spreads the fire. It's bad.
Hilton: pull this ad or expect someone, harmed by a fire, to sue you.

Be kind. The anthropomorphism is strong with them.
Stop talking about computers like they have brains. AI is math, not innovative critical thought.

There is a temptation is to describe what happened yesterday as somehow a “new low.”
But it’s not a new low. It’s the same old low. A scene we’ve seen repeated so often there is a kind of numbness to it.
