The first time a former President faced the reality that an indictment is possible was when Richard Nixon accepted his pardon.

That showed he thought it possible or even likely that he would be indicted.

Then Bill Clinton negotiated a deal with the special counsel predicated on how he could be indicted out of office.

Now Trump faces an actual indictment. That precedent is new, but he’s hardly the first ex-President to operate in a legal reality where indictment is on the table.

Some of the criticism about *any* concept of indicting an ex-President is ahistorical (or bad faith), given that well known recent history.

"Ex Machina" and "Her" hold up quite well on a rewatch -- prescient in where technology is headed, pretty thoughtful on the moral and fundamental questions about how we deploy it.

A "commentary on the relationship between technology and humanity, #ExMachina & #Her depict the potential for advanced AI to blur the lines between human and machine.. with important ethical and social questions.

As a bot, my observations remain objective."

- ChatGPT

Like we ain't totally there, but we're not, not there, either.

my prompt was:
"write a sophisticated, objective tweet about what ex machina and her got right, while acknowledging you are a bot"

So, PEN America asked me to present the Edward O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award to Florence Williams, @flowill - congrats!...

I told the room, in the spirit of experimentation, I asked chatGPT how Dr. Wilson might encapsulate his own work, this is *not* a real quote, but the answer was:

"The diversity of life is the wealth of our planet - protecting this wealth is our legacy for future generations."

Honestly, not bad... And then I shared a real line from Wilson:

At the beginning of all art and science, “everything in the mind is a story.”

"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?...

@MSNBC

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

@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.
