Maybe the real end of the world, if Trump reacts badly enough.

He's already scheming with his election deniers he's installed to thwart the midterm election by seizing ballots.

Peter Ticktin, Peter's attorney, said that she proposed that Trump seize ballots from across the country and conduct a hand recount, reports Kyle Clark of Colorado's 9 News.

"It's a good plan, and I do think that something like that is probably going to happen," Ticktin said to right-wing podcaster Joe Oltmann in Colorado. "In the event that we have this kind of disaster, and everything goes wrong, and the vote is crazy, and the senatorial races put it up there to remove the president and the vice president, in that nightmare, should it come true, Donald Trump is not going to relinquish control again."

And by disaster, they mean a blue wave sweeping across the country and driving out Republicans.

I don't think that makes the document any less your own than having a human copy editor conduct a similar review which has been done since forever.

Which is what I've been saying as well. If all you're doing is asking for suggestions to something you have already written, using AI is no different than using a human editor. It's your work. It's been written. You're just looking for advice on how to improve it.

This is completely different than people who tell AI what they want and it does all the work.

This is the guy who fired the Army's Chief of Staff who was championing a battalion drone unit that was drawing on experience from the Ukrainian army and learning how to operate on a modern battlefield. In addition, the former commander of U.S. Army Europe and Africa was also in full support of this unit, but he too was fired by Hegseth.

One of the reasons Hegseth fired both generals was because he wanted to "refocus" to "help ensure the army revives the warrior ethos, rebuilds for the modern battlefield and deters our enemies around the world."

Well golly gee, that sounds exacly like what the drone battaltion was doing until you got rid of it then fired all the generals who supported it and put in your lackey. Now comes this announcement.

Now we're being told of this new command.

Incompetence doesn't begin to describe the drunk.

We went through the immigration process under K-1, then adjusted status to a permanent resident. No lawyer. Many people have done this and there is information out there how to do it, but it can be outdated, especially in the current era. There wasn't a great "here's the overall workflow" back when we did it, and their probably isn't now either.

The forms have instructions, and if you read carefully (together with all reference documents) it isn't too difficult. But I'm a contract guy, most people likely will have difficulty. It would be nice for them to have an official place to ask questions and have all the relevant forms and instructions considered together.

For a more "routine" example, the forms to apply for or renew a passport for a minor are a huge pain. Not all the required documents needed to be brought to an appointment (minor passports must be applied for in person) are listed in one list as of late last year. You have to go deeper into the state department website than you probably should have to. They should just fix all forms which are confusing or have incomplete instructions, but having generative AI assist the user is probably a lot faster to implement.

Who was telling them that if they treated ectopic pregnancies they might face legal repercussions? Is that what the law actually said?

The way the law is written, if a doctor performs any abortion they can be charged. That is what the hospitals legal department said. In 2024, a woman was told it would be a crime to perform her abortion, so she was left to die.

In 2023 another woman died because the procedure that could have saved her life after a miscarriage was not administered because it could also be used for an abortion.

Just this year, a woman who had previously had two stillbirths due to preeclampsia asked if she should continue with her pregnancy as she was experiencing the same preeclampsia as before. Nope, she was good to go. Until she was found dead in her bedroom from preeclampsia.

But sure, keep making excuses for why women have to die because Republicans don't care about them.

Almost everyone of those infected was unvaccinated. As Archie pointed out, these cases are mainly from the Amish community. Chester County is another hotbed of infections.

To answer your question, there have only been 4 cases of vaccinated people getting measles. This is straight from the PA Department of Health site. This means 0.004% of the total 903 cases.

What excuse will you come up with next because clearly, they do share that information.

Which just goes to show they don't care about people and this lawsuit should be thrown out. They can't claim AI might endanger peple because of a "hack" while at the same time letting people die from a preventable disease.

Look at Pennsylvania. Over 900 measles cases so far this year, with 4 dead in the past month. One was 18-years old, the other 40-years old. The other two were children below the age of 5. And this doesn't take into consideration any other damage people suffer from measles such as deafness.

I always like it when Republicans claim to be "pro-life" yet go out of their way to kill women and children. In Texas, since their abortion ban, the rate of maternal deaths has increased and several women have died because hospitals refused to perform a medical abortion because the doctor and hospital might get sued.

I hope the AI companies throw this vaccine ban back in Florida's face and let the state try to defend its hypocrisy.
