ARGENTINE PESO COLLAPSES TO RECORD LOW — DOWN 99.8% SINCE 2009

After all the effort they went to to make them seem more legitimate too

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.

Editor at the NYT admits to reading the world through the lense of his X feed, which makes sense of so much that comes from the NYT and other legacy media outlets (where I assume this is also a problem).

He was never smart

That’s a big, fat nope

"But when the team looked at the employees’ actual work output, they found that the developers had completed tasks 20% slower when using AI than when working without it. Researchers were stunned. “No one expected that outcome. We didn’t even really consider a slowdown as a possibility.”
