What about this is controversial? Beginning an inquiry by using AI to survey material is a very normal and appropriate use.

It's very odd that the Constitution has a very specific method for amendment requiring approval by broad swaths of the US population, yet 5 justices of the Supreme Court can simply alter its meaning by judicial fiat. Seems like a bad loophole to have.

When Hollywood legend Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner were murdered Sunday evening—allegedly by their son, who was arrested—you might (had you been living in another time with a different President) have expected the President of the United States to either stay silent or offer condolences. Instead, Donald Trump saw an opportunity to demonstrate to the world—yet again—how truly depraved and obsessed he is.

I believe the US economy’s productivity would at least double if we implemented a universal basic income and made healthcare and education totally free with no strings attached. For example, no matter the cost of cancer treatment, a patient would never have to worry about paying medical bills.
