You can easily look up examples of Politico Pro online and even try a free trial. And yes it does look worthless. It provides things like a policy template and other boilerplate which an LLM model can now come up. Pro also offers many arti

Agreed, ripe with fraud and overall an unfair use of taxpayer money. Poorly thought out even for an emergency measure and we should not do it again.

Why do people feel the incessant need to post about deleting/not using social media. They're clearly hypocrites as posting to a blog or HN is pretty much the same thing.

In my experience this isn't as real as people think. More often than not, more resources increase scope which increases time. Cutting all three too often results in things being delivered faster.
