Sen. John Fetterman when asked about Graham Platner, he said who P hustle? The reporter with a puzzled and perturbed look on her face replied: is that what you call him Fetterman replied: no that’s what he calls himself. 🤣
In a new Stanford study, law professors by far preferred Gemini 2.5 Pro's responses over those written by their peers when they were unaware of who wrote the answers.
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.

@_The_Prophet__ i actually think it's much simpler than that: the weakening of institutions, culture, and national identity are not bugs, they're features. they are the intent.
I am deeply concerned about what we are hearing about an Iran “deal,” being pushed by some voices in the administration.
President Trump’s decision to strike Iran was the most consequential decision of his second term. He was right to do so, and we achieved extraordinary military results—including destroying all of their missiles & drones and sinking their entire navy.
If the result of all that is to be an Iranian regime—still run by Islamists who chant “death to America”—now receiving billions of dollars, being able to enrich uranium & develop nuclear weapons, and having effective control over the Strait of Hormuz, then that outcome would be a disastrous mistake.
The details are still coming out—and I pray the early reports are wrong—but the fact that Biden’s Rob Malley is praising the deal is not encouraging.
President Trump believes in peace through strength, and his strong leadership has already made America much safer. He should continue to hold the line, defend America & enforce the red lines he has repeatedly drawn.
@thinkingshivers your version is better. it has an elevated literary quality to it that Claude's doesn’t. There's a rhythm to yours. Claude achieves the same meaning but without the cadence.
@TMTLongShort spot on! if it were feasible, I would support a system in which the bottom 50% of wage earners paid tax rates ranging from 0% up to current levels, with lower tax rates tied to higher scores on a legitimate civics and basic macroeconomics exam.
the constraint isn't technological, it's regulatory and societal. until we move into Gibsonian Neuromancer-style territory, there will definitely be a small cadre of human cognitive labor inside of any sufficiently regulated entity. Because someone will have to take liability, civil and/or criminal. Until we bestow personhood on AI, with the attendant penalization spectrum (e.g., downgrade of autonomy all the way to full shutdown/deletion), there will be people there.
