  • A system prompt hints at local AI-powered productivity features, specifically optimized for students. For example, the Clock app’s Focus session will act as a ‘Productivity’ assistant that breaks down tasks into clear, actionable steps, and it works by inferring the task category, then referencing the coursework of the student.

    It would be great if there were a way to use AI to help people learn more effectively. But this feels like a way to train young people to become dependent on AI assistance for tasks/skills we humans used to be able to do well enough without AI. An addiction, rather than an assistant.



  • There’s a lot we could say. One thing that strikes me, now: In overturning Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court delved way back into history, citing the non-binding legal opinions of a 17th century English lawyer (Matthew Hale). But in allowing ICE to run roughshod over the nation, they have ignored the Magna Carta (which is exactly why King Charles brought it up), which was actually English law, not just one lawyer’s opinion, and which unquestionably was a tremendously important influence on American law.

    The Supreme Court has abandoned all pretext of being honest stewards of the law. They have no respect for the precedents set by their own judicial body. Their legal “reasoning” is just transparently awful cherry-picking and sea-lioning, and this is obvious even to amateurs and outsiders. They are legislating from the bench. They have discarded their own legitimacy.

    And this has bulletproof glass. This has you know, this is the highest level of security. Also, very importantly, I could have built suites on top. I could have done a lot of things. I said, no, no, we have this has to be pure. This has to be where people stay off property and they go through one very impactful, very strong entrance, one very powerful entrance. There’s no games with this.

    And he refers to the ballroom that isn’t there in the past tense, already done.
