Don't trust "AI" and also realize that the push to have "AI" in everything happened because some tech people wanted to get rich and other tech people didn't want others to get rich without them, and now they've all spent too much money on a bad product and are trying to scramble out of the hole.

In the last 50 days, we have confirmed every single aspect of our "Ugly American" reputation. Our nation deserves every bit of scorn heaped on us by our former friends and allies.

Love this. It should not be limited to this term. But it’s a great step forward. Now @khanna.house.gov and other house members need to make the media tour , including Fox News, to talk about it @petebuttigieg.bsky.social
