I have an hypothesis:

The reason CEOs (and the like) are so in love with ‘AI’ is because;

1) they are shallow narcissists who adore the sycophantic nature of these chatbots telling them that every stupid idea they have is amazing and world-changing.

2) they’re already using them to pretend to work, and so they think that everyone pretending to do work with chatbots is ‘efficiency’.

New in PN: Josh Marshall on how US democracy can be saved

"The filibuster severed the tether that connects elections to policy outcomes. People get elected, they say they’re going to do X, Y, and Z, and then they can’t, because no party can amass 60 senators. That's one of the reasons you have Trumpism. So the filibuster absolutely has to go." https://www.publicnotice.co/p/josh-marshall-interview-2026
