Too Many Cooks is the truest piece of 21st century art, perfectly capturing the feeling of life now in all its seamless blending of reality & fiction, weirdness in the shape of normality, inescapable repetition, and looming existential terror gradually overtaking everything

Literally any other attorney general before Bondi would have fought tooth and nail and then resigned over this alone. Letting White House staff take over making public statements in the name of DOJ is in and of itself completely insane.

It was an unforgivable dereliction of duty that the majority of elected congressional Republican office holders were not in prison for open insurrection by March 2021.
I think it’s a reflection of their own attitudes. Both Biden and they were trying to live in a fantasy where those 4 years were a return to normalcy as opposed to the most urgent moment in American history to preserve what was left of democracy.

The regime’s desire for authoritarian domination is infinite, but its capacity is not.
Every act of resistance, every time anyone says no, makes them spend more of their limited resources.
It bogs them down, tying up resources they’d use to hurt other people.
Enough of that and the regime breaks.

Important lesson here is always make them go through every step. One person may not be able to stop the fascist train alone. But everytime everyone of us does something to slow it down, it adds up, and gives more opportunities for others.
Serious credit to Gov. Pritzker, Mayor Johnson, and a bunch of people in and around Chicago who stood up to illegal, unjust, un-American, rights-violating anti-immigrant (or sometimes just anti-brown-people) federal operations.
If they weakly acquiesce like some others did, courts don’t take it up.

The error rate is unacceptably high and permanently built into the way LLMs work. There's no way around it and no way to fix it.
If there is even the slightest probability that your AI assistant miscalculates the total of a balance sheet, it will not be adopted as a replacement for a human who understands math.
This is the reason it’s going to fail. Not for high minded humanitarian reasons. Because accuracy is the trade off.
