Just had a nightmare that was basically the plot of the horror film Brightburn, and I was the mother figure.
Felt like after reading all this OpenAI and adjacent stuff, my brain was contemplating AGI and the likely outcome of having people of poor character designing it.

We are in fact nine years in.
Trump claims the power to murder supposed “narcoterrorists” by fiat, without trial or evidence. In what is surely an unrelated matter, he is also calling his political opponents “terrorists”. We are nine months in.
Kinda seems like whether or not the president has the power to assassinate people with no due process, no input from Congress, no review, no oversight, and with no obligation to provide anyone with any information or evidence other than “trust me” is an important test of our democracy.

Everyone can set aside partisanship, psychologizing, pathologizing, whatever, and—I would hope—still see that it’s incredibly dangerous for a political leader to be this disconnected from the real conditions in the country.
Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

If Trump's plan succeeds in stopping Israel's razing of Gaza, allowing in humanitarian aid and freeing the hostages, it will be cause for celebrating.
That is not the same thing as peace, a rebuilt Gaza and accountability for the crimes committed by both sides.
Nor are the first two irreversible.
