It's kind of crazy living in the first half of I, Robot (but without the easy space travel). We have robots that lie and people with unhealthy relationships to robots.
When do they start taking over as elected officials?

Just got back from early voting.
Pro Tip: If you go in multiple times with different disguises, you can get multiple stickers.
(This is a joke, they didn't have stickers yet. First time voting where I didn't get one.)

I decided to time my reading pace for all of the history books I'm bouncing between this year.
I can finish them all by New Years as long as I read around 2 hours a day, or alternatively if I read for a week straight without taking breaks to eat or sleep.

Our science agencies are about to be run like Aperture Science but without the funding
It's full steam ahead for NASA, according to Sean Duffy, the agency's acting administrator. During an internal employee town hall, Duffy warned of "letting safety be the enemy of progress" when it comes to winning the space race, according to a recording obtained by NBC News.

My prediction is that in that scenario, he blames the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which puts out employment data. Calls them corrupt, run by Democrats, out to get him. Fires people there, insists their numbers cannot be trusted, White House puts out its own fictitious data to make Trump look good

Sure we can't have good things, but on the bright side we can now allocate more money towards bad things
the American government is effectively ending its space program.

The losses could endanger the administration’s plans for landing astronauts on the moon and Mars.

i think the biggest public relations coup AI boosters scored was calling it “AI.” people genuinely think it is an intelligence, and that when they query it, it is providing reasoned answers
it's jolting how little AI skepticism has reached the general public. i've had many acquaintances ask whether i use AI for research and seem shocked when i tell them it's completely useless for that purpose. my wife recently told her colleagues about hallucinations and it was news to all of them.
