Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Yeah that often includes the authors themselves. This might be a STEM specific phenomenon though, which also aligns with anecdotal evidence showing most STEM people have a more congenial relationship with AI than those in the humanities.
