"Chatting with AI bots might seem strange,

But soon they'll know us better than our own brain.

They'll learn our thoughts, our habits, our ways,

And maybe even help us navigate life's maze.

#AI #Chatbots"

guess who wrote that?...
ChatGPT created this tweet:

"Acclaimed author Gary Shteyngart and renowned political commentator Chris Hayes are joining forces on @MSNBC tonight. With their incisive wit and sharp intellect, these two are sure to deliver an unforgettable conversation

#ShteyngartHayesMSNBC "
@MSNBC 2/2 The hashtag may be long, and a prompt gave the bot the news that @chrislhayes and @Shteyngart are on The Beat... but it / the Internet's archive did the rest...

Sharing a little update about a new segment on The Beat...

#Beatniks @TheBeatWithAri @msnbc
Today we're launching a new series with a specific intention:

To try to step out of our current era, conventional wisdom, or confronting an idea under the premise of asking if one "agrees" with it.
I won't be suggesting that a given idea is "right," or that you should agree with it.

Rather that it's worth hearing some novel ideas with an open mind.

The greatest “comeback” waged by a vegetable has got to be Brussels sprouts.

these were widely considered awful, now they’re on fancy menus?
with the Beet a close second (no relation). They’re in gourmet salads now
there was a funny Portlandia skit in this vein a while back, on point

Radio is podcasting
TV is Tiktok (eventually)
Clubhouse is conference calls (which becomes quite apparent/dull over time)

“Trump’s legal team has merely hinted at the possibility that he declassified the documents, without taking a firm position in court — where making a *false statement* can have *professional consequences*”

- NY Times with the gentle shade
This tackles legal & and out-of-court dynamics —

Even Trump’s lawyers won’t claim he declassified docs (don’t lie in court)

but Trump is telling voters, like, if a POTUS can declassify anything, is this just a “process” debate?

Many Congressional hearings are not very effective.

In the press, they are known for being “boring” (which is why they rarely draw live news coverage, regardless of topic or "ideology").. or for descending into partisan clashes...
The Jan. 6 Committee hearings have been unusually *effective.*

arimelber.substack.com/p/the-insurrec…
Unlike many Congressional endeavors, the Jan. 6 Committee has been swiftly:

-revealing new facts

- compelling testimony from even recalcitrant officials

- revealing evidence of alleged crimes against the U.S., by top people inside the U.S. government

The most objective evidence here is that under Garland, DOJ is simply *not* interviewing key witnesses and participants in the White House role in obstructing the 1/6 certification (a potential crime).

Weissman interview:
There is legitimate legal debate about “how aggressive” a stance to take on gov officials contesting an election, and when or if to charge a fmr President.

But it is not valid for DOJ to fail to gather all the testimony and facts - and to “go second” after Congress is unusual.
It appears Garland has overseen DOJ actually *breaking a precedent - it moves first to gather the best possible secret testimony when there are public probes of the same facts or crimes. That’s what Weissman emphasized in his article.

And so, why?
