One issue here is that Biden *did* run rough shod over some laws--to commit a genocide. If he could do that i think he could have fired DeJoy, say, or expanded the court.

It’s been a long fucking day, I’m tired, and I misspoke. Let me rephrase it in a more correct way. Fuck Hakeem Jeffries and almost every other elected Democratic official for forcing me to be the one to get arrested instead of them doing their goddamn job and being leaders.

“Hello I’m Chris Hayes, host of All In. I use this publicly available plagiarism machine to write copy for my television show on a paid Cable TV network. I also have a book coming out that I used the machine for. No… you can buy my book, don’t just ask the machine about it! Hey wait my mortgage!”

Now you can trace the origins of a "fact" right to hallucinated citations of sources that don't actually exist! (Ask me how I know this...) An LLM is not a search tool, full stop. If you're a "journalist" using AI models to do your work, it's time to fuck off & stop calling yourself a journalist.
