It suppose I can see "executive power should be part of the executive branch" as a facile argument because it does seem basic and a bit tautological, but it is still quite a strong point. It needs to be addressed rather than just

This was the post where I learned about SPF, DKIM, and DMARC which seems like a nice technical win. It isn't text encryption but it goes to show there is still room to improve on the basic email situation.

Aren't transformers universal function approximators? It seems pretty easy to see executive function as a simple computation. So it would be trivially true that a sufficiently large transformer could model executive function because it

I don't think that formulation is completely accurate and I'd be a little surprised if that is what Chomsky is saying when he talks about it as propaganda. It isn't that you need a "moderate" opinion to be a NYT edi
