I genuinely have no idea how to convey this to the American people, but I think the biggest impediment to any kind of immigration reform is that people are convinced that "legal" and "illegal" are immutable, intrinsic categories instead of a rapidly-shifting arbitrary constellation of regulations.

If a product makes certain things about life more straightforward and less prone to a chain of comedic errors, thats a good product.
If products make things more complex, there is more to go wrong…and more corners and edge cases for some weirdo to think they’ve spotted a killer side hustle

I genuinely do not get how a certain group of people cannot get it through their heads that officership at a certain level is an art of bureaucratic management. It's doing paperwork and administering an institution.
It's just an institution of guns rather than the DMV.

It's a small but important distinction: AI is not yet taking swaths of jobs by directly replacing human labor. It's taking jobs because the capital executives would typically use to hire humans is being reallocated to burn for AI companies that may never be solvent
Exclusive: Amazon is in talks to invest up to $50 billion in OpenAI. It would make it one of the biggest contributors to the latest funding round.

Whatever the immediate fallout of the scandal, what is going to stick around is the impression it gives, of hapless idiots doing ridiculous things. And I think that seriously reduces the appeal of capitulating to these jokers.

The Chun regime that my wife fought against in the 80s did the exact same thing. They needed a "crisis" that "only they could solve" to hoard more ill-gotten power, so they chose one city (Gwangju), declared its inhabitants enemies, sent trucks full of soldiers to violently attack and kill them.
