I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Let's avoid going back to the bad old days of company scrip where your company salary only works at company store, they trap you, & devalue wages... but on a computer.

Drone production is up to ~4 million side per year Russia’s invasion of Ukraine ~8m total for 2025.
Killing & kill chains may be the biggest real-world application of robotics today.
I wonder how many drone papers are honest about this vs “search & rescue”.

Anything anyone says or does carries an implicit ideology.
Calling something ideological without being specific is just stating a tautology and giving yourself away.

The AI industry is full of blatant lies, but the claim that we can reliably detect AI-generated writing is one of the worst. The idea that these pseudoscientific AI writing detectors are being used to justify punishing young people makes me incandescent with rage.

Horribly dangerous why don’t they have AI-Free overrides for these essential cases?
My husband’s cell was getting calls from people thinking they were phoning a certain city’s police number. He was puzzled—his number doesn’t appear on any web page. Then he learned that if you Google “[city name] non-emergency police”, the AI overview hallucinates his number. Thanks, Google!

People often blank out in interviews bc of memory retrieval differences or other cognitive differences that positively or don't impact actual job performance.
