This is perfect. The DOJ's embarrassing snafu with disappearing redactions was the fault of Elon Musk. Musk cancelled government subscriptions to Adobe programs that would have made the redactions permanent. What a pack of fools.

The inevitable conclusion of the trade war seems to me the collapse of the US IP regime: I despaired for my upcoming book, because in a world of arbitrary tariffs and economic warfare the half-century of "free trade" imperialism that I traced in the book would go from current events to history

"they will be, one day"

no, they won't, any more than tires can help you fly. They're not built for that. They're a fundamentally different technology. An LLM does not exist to model conscious thought, it exists to take advantage of your willingness to see faces in things that aren't there.

Another case of a judge ordering ICE not to deport someone, and ICE doing it anyway. This time a US citizen, with a Maryland birth certificate & immunization records.

Her family has not heard from her.

May everyone at DHS have the Christmas they inflicted on her.

"Have you ever envisioned yourself, hair thinning out, hiding under a wiglet?"

"Wiglet."

"How does it feel, needing to wear a wiglet?"

"Wiglet."

"What's it like, wanting to hide under the earth from the world like a Wiglett?"
