Yes there are. The First Amendment is limited by compelling government interest, which (in practice) means it can be fairly arbitrarily by SCOTUS. https://firstamendment.mtsu.edu/post/what-the-first-amendmen...

They're very generous toward citizens, and they're very stingy with who is called a citizen. They're all filled with modern-day slavery in the form if indentured servants.

There is no chance AI will inspire rich tech execs to give money to all the people whose jobs they've stolen. We're trending toward Saudi Arabia, where an ultra-wealthy class rules society.

This is a demo. OP is asking for examples of usage in production, where the agent is actually doing work. It's also not really what people are promising with "agentic" because there's a human prompting and assisting it t

OP wanted this scrutiny and is using it to advertise himself to employers. Any analysis, criticism, or doubt is what he asked for. He should "show receipts" (emails at least) if he wants people to take his word for it.

I wasn't claiming that sympathy for Mangione is online-only, but rather that being online too much will skew someone's perception of popular opinion. Based on reddit, for example, you'd assume Mangione has more than 50% suppo

We already know nation states like Russia will shill both sides of any controversial topic in the US, so you're probably right. I doubt they're influencing this thread though.

A lot of terminally online people in these comments are dramatics overestimating popular support for Mangione. It is certainly remarkable that a murderer has such a high approval rating, but he's still not close to being broadly popula

Anyone who has seen Musk's aggressive censorship/shadowbans of people he dislikes on X will know this is partisan nonsense. Meta shouldn't have gone as far as it did, but let's not pretend all political speech is treated

It may save money, but it is also exactly (to the letter) what Trump's FCC and FTC appointees have said they'll demand. US conservatives are waging a war against fact checkers because (unsurprisingly) they are more likely to have

TypeScript on the strictest settings + aggressive ESLint rules is incredibly strict and a fantastic target for AI code. It's a good practice to have the CI/CD server reject code that fails ESLint anyway.
