Considering how it ended, this novella could really use a sequel.

I hope not. Having the Democrats publicly embrace Musk just because he has turned on Trump seems deeply unwise as a strategy and morally questionable when Musk has not exactly disavowed his prior morally reprehensible actions.

Trump's actions are absurd. Even setting aside the fact it is the morally right thing to do, it is in our national interest to support Ukraine.

Unless there was some reason that walk was unusually dangerous, this is obscene. The parents were letting their kids be kids in exactly the way that helps kids learn to eventually be adults.

And the ability to grow coffee or cocoa beans in the U.S. is *very* limited. Things like lithium are much more readily available in places other than North America.

I'm in law. I like to use it as a sounding board and it can be helpful as a **start** to research in some cases. But that is it and even those uses must be done with extreme caution on my opinion. It is blatantly wrong often and many lawyers have been sanctioned for blindly trusting it.

Yes, "used well", LLMs and AI in general can be a powerful and useful. But it is very easy to use them badly in ways that can have unfortunate consequences.
Also, it is worth acknowledging that at a minimum, there are ethical questions around most generative AI and how it was trained.

Trump continues to be petty. He is a horrible person and he shows it more by the day.

Every indication is that this bill is deeply unwise.

This bill is foolish.

I mean, I agree with you on this completely and absolutely. But at the current moment, the fact Trump is lying, provably and obviously, again seems like the more salient issue.

Most of them didn't *knowingly* vote for the horrible things he is doing. They were lied to and believed it.
This is an opportunity to show them the huge difference between what they thought they were supporting and what Trump and his allies are doing. That is more effective than blaming them.

Things tend not to look great when you try to defend the indefensible.

Very little of what Trump says has any basis in reality.

This is horrifying. Yes, everyone will die. That is the nature of all life. Memento mori is meaningful philosophically.
But how and when we die matters, and people that have access to good healthcare tend to die later and more comfortably.

RFK Jr., much like Trump, seems to wish to have as little to do with reality as possible.

Why would a university need to care, much less be in sync with, what an administration was trying to accomplish?
In fact, isn't a large part of the point of tenure to give researchers some freedom to pursue truth even when it isn't in sync with what the *university* is trying to accomplish?

I certainly hope the Senate blocks that madness.

The Onion is struggling. This is less ridiculous than many of the things Musk has actually said.

This is a repulsive abuse of governmental power.
The list of things that Trump has done that justify impeachment continues to grow.

This bill is a horrible idea and should be stopped.

This is a tragedy. Even setting aside ethical or moral questions, as a purely practical matter Medicaid and SNAP are broadly beneficial to this society.

I'm in the United States and I am utterly baffled by America hitting the self-destruct button and I feel betrayed by the current administration.

Cutting health care and food stamps is wrong.
But that isn't the last word: now the bill heads to the Senate. Our nation is at its best when we stand up for those in need and for what is right. It’s time to remind our Senators why Americans are against this cruelty, and demand they do better.

Everything here is true, but it goes deeper. All current chatbots are **very** susceptible to hallucination / confabulation even when no one has tried to influence the results. They are fun. They may even be useful in certain situations.
But they cannot be trusted without careful verification.
