Social media seems increasingly like hallucinating.. but isn't that something AI does? This place isn't as bad as Twitter or Facebook though.

This is super interesting.
I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired.

It can't. But, what DOGE accidentally revealed about themselves in the process is fascinating. 🧵

Just ordered a print of a 956. Which got me thinking.. at the time I was a Jag fan. But knowing they were cheating made me go off them big time. And I now remember being puzzled as to how a 7litre engine didn’t just burn through the fuel allowance.

So Trump is trying to wreck the world economy. Surely that’s the only explanation.

This is a serious question and one worthy of discussion. Technological advances allied to social changes and poor education policies at KS3 and 4 levels over that past 15 years have led to where we are now. Change cannot come quick enough, but is there wider govt support? That remains to be seen.
