Imagine watching this and thinking the below is better acted! It strikes me that this is a very good case of the lack of imagination of an AI -- reading the line exactly according to an extremely narrow and superficial reading of the sentiment

Marc Andreessen is a racist, Richard Hanania is a racist, and the reason a lot of centrist Democratic pundits and consultants, including a lot of the people involved with the abundance movement, are in the same group chats and at the same parties is because they agree with them.
Kind of crazy that the supposed "left-of-center" Big Tech group @ProgressChamber is repping a16z.
Arguments about Democratic party politics aside, I genuinely wouldn't have thought @adamkovac would get into bed with someone platforming MONARCHY and outright racist views.

The @USGSA IT team just saved $1M per year by converting 14,000 magnetic tapes (70 yr old technology for information storage) to permanent modern digital records.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Despite its age, magnetic tape is still highly favorable for long-term, static data archives. It offers cost-effectiveness (cheaper than disk/cloud), longevity (outlasts disk drives), offline security (resists cyber threats), and high capacity (up to 50TB per tape). research.ibm.com/blog/tape-dens… corodata.com/tape-backups-s…

New from 404 Media: anyone can push updates to the Doge.gov site. Two sources independently found the issue, one made their own decision to deface the site. "THESE 'EXPERTS' LEFT THEIR DATABASE OPEN."
