Ezra Klein is hosting a conference promoting his book "Abundance" and it's literally filled with fascists, including one speaker who wrote an article advocating "deportation abundance."

He just doesn't like the aesthetics of the current admin but he is onboard to build more detention centers and less regulation for corporations.

Elon as the fall guy is hilarious. I guess that's the silver lining to these powerful people getting close to the orphan grinding machine.

Show me the conservative critique of billionaires. I know how that works on the left, but the right is about preserving power structures

When asked a question about revenue, Copilot won’t necessarily know to go straight to the enterprise financial system of record rather than picking up any revenue-related numbers that appear in emails or documents, he said.

Thing might be rendered useful if you could constrain it to search a particular source or site. And even better, instead of hallucinating it could just give you a link and a citation. We could call it a search engine.
