The obvious response to this pathetic whataboutism is: “So, you agree that Trump’s behavior was bad.”
TAPPER: Obama's comments came within a day of Trump hosting a Gatsby-themed Halloween party at Mar-a-Lago while SNAP benefits are set to run out. Your response?
BESSENT: I believe President Obama played a record amount of golf of any president, so I'm not sure why he's out there throwing stones

I would say this is pure BS but I have to consider that AI might actually be smarter than Sam Altman.
“This was the year, I think, that the AI got smarter than us.”
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman gets candid about the promises and perils of AI in the premiere episode of MD Meets — a new podcast from POLITICO's parent company Axel Springer.

“Fun” is the beginning and end of LLM use cases. It didn’t do what was asked. The output was off-topic, incoherent, poorly formatted… but kind of fun, if you’re in the right frame of mind.

Instead of waiting for (redacted or doctored) Epstein files, media should publish court docs alleging that Trump raped Katie Johnson at Epstein's home when she was 13.
