Overnight #KilmarAbregoGarcia’s attorneys asked Judge #Xinis for severe sanctions against the #Trump admin for violating court orders, saying officials stonewalled them for months, & outright lied.

They want fines & an investigation.

What we know about '#BigBeautifulBill' #banning states from regulating #AI for 10 years

Some #lawmakers and #advocacygroups have expressed concerns about the bill limiting states' ability to deal with potential harms caused by AI.

#Trump frequently employs use of the term “#invasion”, especially when discussing #immigrants who illegally cross at the border. He used it to justify the use of the #AlienEnemiesAct to rapidly deport Venezuelan immigrants by saying there was an “invasion”by the gang Tren de Aragua. But there has been no “invasion” & #LosAngeles is place embraces rich & various immigrant cultures.

@markcarrigan.net It's an impressive and creepy example for a problem we could also get in popular non-fiction books as well as in journalism.
Therefore, some authors' associations demand a rule that authors indicate in their book whether and how they have used LLMs. But authors can lie.

Usually, you have to #factCheck every quote/stuff found in the internet: there were fakes long before #AI.
