I legitimately wonder where the senior managers pushing LLM tools get the notion that they will save time. Personal experience says it's the equivalent of double checking the work of a particularly incompetent work-study student.

Such is management disconnect from the work being done.

I am with Noah on this point: block Vance and any other high level republican politician on sight.

This isn't like a normal right wing troll setting up shop: this is someone with the powers of the government behind him. Death threats are the LEAST of our concerns here.

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are β€œsick of mind” and β€œhate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

The way I look at it, there is a ton of green space on the Iowa side where we can show our numbers -- a good photo op from the bridge.
