This is an incredible document in which #Trump claims ICE protests “constitute a form of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States” and authorizes Pete Hegseth to deploy “regular Armed Forces” against protesters—anywhere in the US. (Notably, CA isn’t mentioned anywhere.)

The impression I get from this is that ChatGPT has learned to think like a grifter because it has learned first to speak the language of grifting, which began long ago when we started taking writing seriously that occupies 150 characters or less…
