Dear Media:

Blindly quoting the President without fact-checking or context is just misinformation with a press pass.

We don’t need stenographers; we need journalists. Do your job.

I agree with this letter...

"[A] recent survey of 5,000 white-collar US workers found that 40% of non-managers say AI saves them no time at all at work, while 92% of high-level executives say it makes them more productive."

Good insight into which jobs can be safely automated.

Workslop refers to AI-generated work that seems polished but is flawed and in need of heavy corrections

If the Pope is now considered part of the radical left, I think we need to look at just how far the overton window has moved.
