"I have a decent fluency in LLMs, and they have utility, but the absurd degree of over-hype, the way they're being forced on everyone, and the insistence on ignoring the many valid critiques about them make it very difficult to focus on legitimate uses where they might add value."

And this happened in 2021, about 10 months before Roe was overturned—but after Texas’ SB8, the “heartbeat” bill, had gone into effect.
When the Supreme Court let that law stand, it sent the signal that Roe’s days were numbered.

Doctors said it was “inevitable” that Josseli Barnica would miscarry.
Yet they waited 40 hours for the fetal heartbeat to stop.
She died of an infection 3 days later.

I've voted already for Kamala, I encourage you all to do so as well, I hope she wins and it's massive and blah blah blah, but this simply cannot continue. It cannot be the case that democracy is on the ballot every election while the insulated SCOTUS takes it apart piece by piece

this is where the observation about the need for less toxic male role models is correct. young men do need to see that there isn’t some shortcut to a decent life.

Wild, even Christie's quote is specifically about the GOP:
"So there’s no question that inside my party in particular, there is no longer the water’s edge. Everything is politicized."

“you shouldn’t lie or spread lies to make your point even if you think your point is true” is apparently a very unpopular opinion these days

It's important to realize how long scientists have warned those in power. Climate change is not somebody's fault for not recycling beer cans. It's the result of a fraud against the public by corporations who have flooded the zone with bribes and misinformation.
Almost 40 years ago in 1985, Carl Sagan told Congress that continuing to burn fossil fuels will increase global temperature, cause climate change, melt glaciers and ice sheets, and cause sea level rise.
