Your LLM merely searched lots of related information, some perhaps good, some perhaps trash.

Gave you a summary you are too dumb to QC so you think LLMs are the future of all.

The Supreme Court’s Next Target open.substack.com/pub/theantho... That position reflects a Christo-fascist theory that federal oversight of state elections amounts to “racial engineering.” This idea has deep roots in the modern conservative movement and within the Court itself.

Massive data centers invaded Virginia — and Maryland wants to be next

Virginia’s rapid accumulation of nearly 600 data centers now feels like a warning for some Marylanders, as businesses and local governments look to attract the giant facilities.

Unfounded claims of 500% and 1000% increases in assaults against ICE officers and a crackdown on “doxxing” of ICE agents looking like a red herring in greater federal effort to justify military deployment to U.S. cities @shaanthx.bsky.social reports

ICE promised doxing cases against Portland ‘anarchists.’ Months later, no charges filed • Oregon Capital Chronicle

Three months since Kristi Noem vowed charges against Portland "anachists" for doxing, it appears her agency has yet to follow through.

Six years after his arrest and death, Jeffrey Epstein still commands headlines and drives heated political discourse. That has somewhat complicated the day-to-day lives of other guys named Jeffrey Epstein:

The late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was far from the only person with that name — meet the men who are stuck sharing it with him.

Considering how many horror stories I’ve read about relatives posting real pictures of babies and kids on public social media platforms against the parents’ wishes, I can only fathom how widely accessible AI tools will escalate these violations

Say what, now?

A family member sent me an image of a baby dressed in an elf outfit. My baby. It was adorable—and unnerving.
My cousin took a photo from our group chat and uploaded it to Meta AI. While his heart was in the right place, my mind was spinning. What could Meta do with my son’s face? The privacy policy of Meta Platforms says the company can use these images to “improve AIs and related technology.”
In the age of AI, I can’t control where my—or my son’s—face ends up. Our likenesses are no longer our own.

There's literally no reason for Congress to exist if any random freak in the presidential orbit can nullify laws and seize federal funds. All of this is plainly illegal, but Mike Johnson leads the most corrupt Congress in US history (and by a wide margin.)
