AI hallucinations represented not a temporary engineering challenge, but a permanent mathematical reality requiring new governance frameworks and risk management strategies.
OpenAI ”acknowledged in its own research that LLMs will always produce hallucinations due to fundamental mathematical constraints that cannot be solved through better engineering, marking a significant admission from one of the AI industry’s leading companies.”

Federal agents shot at civilians in their cars at least 15 times since July. We tracked each case.
In every instance, feds claimed drivers tried to ram agents.
But the claim often falls apart under scrutiny.

Federal immigration agents keep shooting at drivers. We tracked 15 cases since July.
After each shooting, federal agencies claimed the drivers tried to ram agents with their vehicles. But the claim often falls apart under scrutiny.

First time in the 25 yr career of MN state police chief they have been denied access to provide an independent investigation of a crime scene. Fed agency investigating its own shooting concluded it was justified before completing investigation. Yeah that unprofessional agency rly inspires confidence
DHS ignored a judicial search warrant issued to Minnesota DPS to investigate the crime scene.

At this point it is clear that Trump enabled by his Supreme Court is using ICE as his Jan 6th squad to try to steal the midterm elections in heavily-Democrat cities. What is a good model of resistance to this violent government takeover? The people in these cities need more support from state govts.

The Supreme Court only cleared the way for Kavanaugh Stops four months ago and ICE now openly engages in violent racial profiling, snatching anyone who looks non-white and treating them as presumptively guilty of a crime. Remarkable how quickly our liberties can be crushed when courts go along.
Can confirm I have personally seen three attempts just today of agents in a convoy of ICE vehicles trying to snatch random POCs along Central Ave - and then being chased off by neighbors with whistles. It's blatant racial profiling.
