Yes, I follow you because of your expertise and research and thought you may have informed thoughts, unlike most folks building AI pet projects who never even ask the question of care if their app outputs complete bullshit. If your answer is "I don't care right now, I'm just playing", that is fine.

No, I'm asking if the specific tool you built with AI gives correct answers. Have you tested it in any systematic way? Does it make up incorrect answers? How do you know?

At around the 40m mark she says she hasn’t received a **single** case from any PD in the county (even MPD), despite her having practically begged the local PD to do so!

""Drug dealers use e-mail a lot to communicate with each other," Kerr said. "And the prosecution is faced with the question 'How do I get this guy's e-mail?' It creates computer crime questions in a 4th Amendment context."" Ahh, simpler times. Love it.

Unconstitutional secret watchlists aren't new to this administration, but, like everything, they are a whole new level of threat in this lawless administration and DoJ. They are actively building out multiple databases, well beyond lists. We need to continue digging . Thanks Ken.

I wanted to break away from my typical style of putting a light up to ICE's injustices and instead highlight Alex's life and how he was an embodiment of justice. He lost his life upholding justice, and now we must stand up to get justice for Alex. #topsy #alex #pretti #alexpretti #abolishice
