I'm not a researcher myself, so anybody with expertise should feel free to correct me, but isn't AI famous for quoting from and citing completely fabricated sources? That sounds like the exact wrong kind of revolution you'd want from the literature review process.
"In research, AI has begun to revolutionise the literature review process" let me stop you there chief.

Every time I read a clip or summary of an interview with Trump, I wonder how we ended up in such a stupid timeline. I mean, I know how, but for real!?
Presumably Trump voters watch these interviews, right? They love Fox news? And they conclude that this is the president they want? Hoooow??

The stick figure is me, sure I'm missing something here, or else just hoping a concussion will make this timeline make more sense.

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs.
So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract.
Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:

Trans people aren’t the ones trying desperately to take away our healthcare or food benefits or kill public education or all the other things the GOP is destroying.
A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

If you can’t see how ramping up taco stand enforcement, with SPD no less, is putting our immigrant communities at risk right now, I don’t know what to tell you. ICE is gonna be sitting on the scanner just waiting for SPD to basically tell them where to go. This is patently obvious.

This is most certainly going to be used for eugenics to screen people they view as genetically inferior from the US. It's also going to be used to target gender nonconforming people with expensive DNA tests.
If sex is so fundamental, why do they need a dystopian police state to enforce it?
