“When writing is hard, it’s often not just because we are tired, underfed, or inefficient but because our mind is trying to tell us crucial things. How many draft texts to colleagues or family members have we all stared at in frustration, wondering why they don’t feel quite right—until we finally realize that they need to be rethought completely, or not sent at all? When a book I was writing became an almost hopeless grind, I tore up 90 percent of the manuscript; it became a far more honest work for having been halted at a conceptual dead end, forcing me to turn back.
AI can’t make that kind of judgment.”
Holds equally for code.
Just a friendly reminder that 50 years of "trickle down" has turned millionaires into billionaires, and billionaires into trillionaires.
Meanwhile the minimum wage stayed stagnant and prices skyrocketed on everything from gas to groceries to homes.
The trickle never came.
The industries spending hundreds of millions to write their own rules are counting on voters not knowing where the money comes from or what it’s buying. The goal of this project is to make sure they do. If you find this valuable, please consider supporting my work: https://www.citationneeded.news/signup/

Most voters have no idea any of this is happening. These PACs run ads about jobs and immigration — never mentioning crypto or AI. 73% of voters disapprove of officials having crypto business ties, but 55% didn't even know Trump is personally involved in the industry (per CoinDesk).
But when voters do find out, the spending can backfire. In Illinois, candidates who called out the crypto money against them won their primaries despite being vastly outspent. Transparency is the only counter to this.

"Israel is explicitly warning Christian residents in southern Lebanon not to welcome Muslim residents among them, threatening to bomb Christian neighborhoods.
Israel is now searching for Muslims hiding in the attics of Christians. It’s not 1944. Read that again.
The goal isn't military. It's destabilizing social stability in Lebanon."
