Hallucinates confidently….AI-splaining.
more evidence for “a bunch of AI cultists dismantled large parts of the federal government because they believed that their LLMs were intelligent and could do the work better” thesis
Reporter: The FDA has a new AI tool that's intended to speed up drug approvals. But several FDA employees say the new AI helper is making up studies that do not exist. One FDA employee telling us, 'Anything that you don't have time to double check is unreliable. It hallucinates confidently'

UPDATE: Senate Republicans made Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill even worse.
Now, this bill rips health care coverage away from 17 MILLION people—that’s an additional 1 MILLION people.
Health care cuts now total over $1 TRILLION.

Ben makes a solid point here.
If there is no universal injunction power, blue states should start testing the limits.
Pass a law that requires federal Medicaid funds to go to anyone wanting gender affirming care.
Pass a law that says anyone with feet on the ground in America is a US citizen.

If so, it is time to start crafting some cool-ass laws. What a time to be a state legislator or an AG in a blue state. The Supreme Court just said you no longer have a boss. It's the last day of school, Democratic state majorities and AGs! Time to abuse some power.

NO WAR
Trump’s decision to bomb Iran risks escalating an already volatile situation into all-out regional conflict. It’s time for Congress to step in and exercise their constitutional authority over war and peace by passing legislation that prohibits Trump from dragging us further into war.

It's hard to overstate how destructive the reflexive "this is a distraction!" stuff that politicians and commentators and people are always peddling.
Everything is happening all at once. That's how authoritarianism works. If you can't navigate and synthesize this, you're not meeting the moment.
