Marjorie Taylor Greene is not suddenly “reasonable,” “moderate” or “brave.”
She’s just a fast rat fleeing a sinking ship, fighting for her political life while seeking a free pass for horrific past behavior and continued racist, antisemitic, anti-Muslim, antigay and anti-immigrant beliefs.
Say no.

A reminder not to celebrate Marjorie Taylor Greene even if she’s damaging Trump. Let them fight, and let them both burn. Save your praise for people who deserve it.

repeat that last line to yourself. this is enormously important.
"no longer would politics would be something that is done to us. now it would be something that WE DO"
ACTION. that WE DO. this is all real; this is all possible; this is all essential. let's DO THIS.

The in-our-face failure modes -- e.g. relying on current LLMs to produce reliable legal citations, yikes! -- arise from misunderstandings about what the tech does/doesn't do that you're very rightly pointing out.

Also, more generally: there's lots of technology and process that boils down to "how do we get a sufficiently reliable result out of this mix of these less-than-sufficiently-reliable components".

E.g. for coding I'm using my own code review, manual and automated tests, etc. For research, any reported facts/citations require manual confirmation.

Agree that LLMs should not be relied on for "reliably true output". That said, I've been pleased with results in both coding and research/writing by making exactly that assumption -- and using a process of verification that to create a reliable result out of less-than-fully reliable parts.
