@arstechnica yeah, guidance, but no clear guidance. So the right wingers can just more finely tune their next case.

@georgetakei that broad is unhinged, hateful, entitled, and just plain fucking crazy.

Sorry for the hotel employees, guests, and the targets of her ire. They all deserve better.

@georgetakei it is heartbreaking.

She also let herself get caught up in the middle, trying to squeeze thru, while others went for the outside and almost won.

I used to run track, and it's an unfortunate accident. It happens in tight cluster like that.

@arstechnica I don't like nor trust AI and how companies will use it now and in the future.

But knowing that it pisses off Elon Musk, I am reconsidering.
