@ElectionBabe@ordinarytimemag@four4thefire@OSET_Greg@OSET AI is shaping up to be a very useful tool for many data applications. The company I am working for is using it right now. But, AI is in no way sentient at this point. I worry about the insane computing/memory power needed to sustain it. This may lead to monopoly power.
ICYMI last night on @CBSNews w/ @NorahODonnell a story re: the exodus of election professionals & brain-drain of SMEs as a result. Turnover may not be detrimental. At least a partial solution is coming (more soon). Worth a watch/read:

Interesting article in Germany's leading business & finance newspaper today, @handelsblatt, to which our COO @OSET_Greg (a 1st generation U.S. German) contributed a couple of thoughts.

Excellent new @CBS interview with veteran VA election administrator and OSET board member and election analyst, Cameron Quinn.

Managing the Vote: Extended interview with Cameron Quinn https://t.co/pyORiaABLJ
Let’s be clear: This is illegal and unconstitutional. The American people had voted. The courts had ruled. The Electoral College had met and voted. The Governor in every state had certified the results and sent a legal slate of electors to the Congress to be counted. The Vice President has no constitutional authority to tell states to submit alternative slates of electors because his candidate lost. That is tyranny. Our institutions held on Jan 6 because Mike Pence refused to violate his oath to the Constitution. Trump picked JD Vance because Vance will do whatever Trump wants, including violating the Constitution. They are both far too dangerous to serve. It’s our duty to stop them.
Possibly the best summary of the AI hype I've seen yet. Humorous and a bit disturbing at the same time.
H/T to @LuizaJarovsky for either coming up with or discovering this; I'd missed it until today.
@ElectionBabe@KGWNews Yep, we're certainly aware of ofrest fires, but nothing close to a metropolitan area approaching 2M people thankfully. All in central and eastern Oregon. It finally disappeared (probably low on fuel). About only conclusion is aerial photography/surveying.
Hey @KGWNews, so for the past 1.5 hours a single engine fixed wing aircraft (e.g., a Cessna 172) has been circling over Portland West Hills/Forest Park, center mark roughly NW Skyline Blvd and NW Thompson Rd, counterclockwise at I estimate ~2,500' slow arcing circles. Wassup?
This week the media continued a relentless disproportionate focus on President Biden’s age & health, while mostly ignoring the nonsensical ramblings of Trump. Yet, awareness re: Project 2025 is growing as more & more voters realize it's dangerous blueprint for a Trump Admin v2.0
Not correct. For many reasons.
1. The articles referenced are from 2015 & 2016 & this equipment is retired.
2. Most US voters use a paper ballot w/ auditing procedures post-election. Mail ballots are paper ballots!
3. Mail ballots are secure, reliable, & accessible. By design.
Please stop spreading damaging misinformation, Elon! Talk to your local election official, state election official, the voting industry trade association, academic researchers. Happy to connect you with all of these and other experts.
Hey @portlandgeneral any insight on power outage over an hour ago in 97229 in midst of record heatwave? We feared this. Your automated phone attendant claims this is scheduled maintenance?! 🤯That can't be right, right? 😳 Can you please update on what the situation is?
3] Or was it worse? 🤔Did DJT have that conversation with Putin closer to the invasion date, AFTER he lost the election? If so, seems that would be a violation of 18 USC 953 (the Logan Act). I think this one of many 💩declarations DJT made last eve is worth investigating. /END
While there's no doubt last night's debate was a hot mess all the way around, I'm shook by one thing in particular: Trump's claim to have spoken with Putin prior to the invasion, learning that it was Putin's "dream" to do so. Wait, what?! 😳Short 📷
2] When did he have this conversation? As early as the meeting where he ousted the stenographers & expunged the meeting minutes? If so, then seems DJT withheld info from national security re: an impending invasion. Query: was that was in violation of any US or international law?
