The above article makes me think of the quote from Cory Doctorow @pluralistic :
“AI is the asbestos we are shovelling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations.”

"Developers talk not just about how the #AI output is often flawed, but that using AI to get the #job done is often a more time consuming, harder, and more frustrating experience because they have to go through the output and fix its mistakes. More concerning, developers who use AI at work report that they feel like they are de-skilling themselves and losing their ability to do their #jobs as well as they used to."

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:
There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind,
alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.There is nothing more or else to it,
and there never has been."~Frank Wilhoit, composer

" #Epstein wrote to propose an idea. “I might want to fund an exhibition entitled statutory,” he wrote. “girls & boys ages 14-25 where they look nothing like their true ages. Juvenile mug shots, photo shop, make up. Some people go to prison because they can’t tell true age. Controversial. Fun. Maybe it should be a web page, with hits, tallied.”
“You are incredible,” Ross had written back. “This would be a very [p]owerful & freaky book”"

"Farmers have been hit so hard by the tariffs that Trump was forced to give them a $12B bailout... only necessary because #China retaliated against the #tariffs by refusing to buy #American agricultural products. #Trump had to give #farmers a $20B bailout for the same reason during his 1st term. This is classic #Trumponomics: create a problem, announce a partial fix that leaves everyone **worse** off than where they started, & declare victory."

A letter to the American People:
https://18f.org/"18F was doing exactly the type of work that #DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated.
When former #Tesla engineer Thomas Shedd took the position of #TTS director... he acknowledged that the group is the “gold standard” of civic #technologists... He repeatedly emphasized the importance of the work, and the value of the talent that the teams bring to #government"

Skilled technologists are being forced out of government
18F and USDS are gutted by DOGE
https://donmoynihan.substack.com/p/skilled-technologists-are-being-forced"Musk is not just destroying core #government functions, he is also destroying the actual #tech capacity of govt. Because there are, in fact, skilled #technologists who work in govt. They are not enough of them, & they lacked power to make big changes. They worked mostly in the US Digital Service and 18F... And now they are mostly gone."

"A grand jury indicted the former chief of the #school #police force in #Uvalde, Tex., in connection with the botched response to the 2022 #MassKilling at #RobbElementary School, finding that he bears responsibility for the lengthy delay in killing the gunman.
The indictment released Friday echoes much of what state & federal #law enforcement leaders have concluded in their own reviews of the attack that left 19 students & two teachers dead."

"All of this comes amid the worst #scandals in the court’s #history, which raise serious doubt about the justices’ independence & #integrity (e.g. Samuel #Alito 's #insurrectionist flag flying, #ClarenceThomas' refusal to #recuse himself despite his wife’s participation in the #coup attempt, Thomas’s multiple #financial disclosure violations & receipts of millions of dollars in #gifts). These, coupled with obvious gamesmanship to benefit “their side,” will permanently besmirch this court."

" #Senate #Democrats attempted to expedite passage of a bill that would provide a binding #CodeOfEthics for the #SupremeCourt, but the effort was scuttled by #Republicans...
#Leo said in a statement in November after the subpoenas were issued that he “will not cooperate with this unlawful campaign of political retribution.”
Durbin’s office said the #Judiciary Committee’s broader investigation of Supreme Court #ethics is ongoing."

From @flaminghydra
There should be newspapers that we work at where we do this:
A conversation with Jonathan Katz"you broke the #Britt story by yourself, alone, on your #TikTok against all the combined might of the #NYTimes, the #WashingtonPost, and every Alabama paper, when this information had been sitting in broad daylight?...
How is it that something this important got past everyone?
...she'd been repeating the story for a long time."

“It would be a striking paradox if the president, who alone is vested with the constitutional duty to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed,” were the sole officer capable of defying those laws with impunity.” 🔥

"Previously, Holt said that Thunder ownership had committed to make a "significant financial contribution" to the new arena. Last week, however, plans for a new $900 million arena for the Thunder were finalized. The team contribution would be just $50 million, with taxpayers footing the remainder of the bill. That's about $3,200 for every Oklahoma City household."
