Sending troops to San Francisco? Do it and we’ll sue.

We don’t bow to kings. We defend the Constitution.

Q: Are you going to send federal troops and the National Guard to San Francisco?

Trump: "We're going to go to San Francisco...We're going to go to San Francisco and we're going to make it great...Don't forget, I can use the Insurrection Act."

there is an ENTIRE industry emerging around fixing AI slop errors in a professional setting

These people are going to make incredible amounts of money in a very short amount of time
Funda Gunes, Ph.D. in . 2nd + Follow Helping Firms Operationalize Technical Responsible Al | CEO of ... Book an appointment 2w Deloitte admitted that a $440k Australian government report it delivered contained Al-generated fabrications including fake citations, misattributed quotes, and nonexistent source prompting a refund and a corrected version disclosing use of a generative model via OpenAI GPT-40. Deloitte's Al fabrication incident is a TEVV (testing, evaluation, verification, and validation) failure in plain sight. TEVV is the NIST AI RMF for systematically checking model behavior and outputs against requirements throughout the lifecycle, not just at the end. Applied to generative AI, TEVV means defining accuracy and provenance criteria, running structured output tests, and requiring human signoff before delivery, precisely to prevent hallucinated citations and spurious quotations from slipping into client work. TEVV isn't a checkbox; it's the continuous discipline that keeps generative outputs trustworthy, with measurable tests, provenance checks, and human signoff before anything ships. At Walu AI, TEVV-focused training and playbooks map directly to NIST AI RMF and the Generative Al Profile, including lifecycle test design, citation/source verification workflows, and human-in-the-loop signoff to prevent this exact issue. Start building resilience now, before the next "Al slop" headline lands on the desk. https://lnkd.in/eTHUAtxw #AlEthics #AlGovernance #AlAssurance #ResponsibleAl #AITrust #TEVV #RiskManagement Deloitte Deloitte to partially refund Australian government for report with apparent Al-generated errors apnews.com C022 3 comments

I'll probably get yelled at, but I do think the ability to adroitly manage and perhaps even manipulate Trump is a good thing, even if it looks and feels a bit icky.

Even RW outlets like Fox and Newsmax, favoured by Trump.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages
Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

The concluding paragraph of #ScienceUnderSiege
(www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/micha...)
And so we choose to do battle against the forces of darkness, #ghting back against a malevolent movement that represents all that is bad in the world— fascism, authoritarianism, racism, misogyny, and bigotry— a movement that uses antiscienti#c disinformation as its preferred weapon. We do this not because our success is guaranteed. Given the forces mobilized against us, we are clearly the underdog. And no white wizard will come to our rescue. But we have truth and justice on our side. And the stakes simply couldn’t be greater. We #ght for a livable planet, for us, our children, and future generations. Because it’s worth #ghting for.8
