ENTITLED, LOW-CHARISMA CARPETBAGGER:
Seeing too many hot takes from the DC punditocracy who claim that Angie Nixon defeated Alex Vindman because socialism is so popular nowadays. Well I'm sure it is in some states, but NOT in Florida.

COMING SOON: AI MODELS THAT SLAP EACH OTHER WITH CARRYON BAGS. Google is buying all of Spirit Airlines’ data to feed its AI models. “The data has been stripped of anything that would allow individuals to be identified, according to the court filing. But it is still a massive amount of useful intelligence.”

TRUMP SAID HE’D RESTORE FREE SPEECH IN AMERICA. Halfway through his second term, the question is whether his actions have matched that promise.

ABOLISH PUBLIC SECTOR UNIONS: Teacher unions dedicate money to political activism, lobbying.
Some teachers raise questions about whether union dues are being used to advance causes the instructors actually support.
Todd Loeffler, a California elementary public school teacher for over 25 years, said the cost of joining the union and some of their political tactics turned him off.
“Knowing that our union dues were primarily going to Democratic candidates, it was very difficult,” he told The Center Square.
Another issue was the cost. He initially declined to join his union when he began teaching because the dues were too expensive.
“When I was just hired as a new teacher, I was asked to join the union along with all the other new teachers,” Loeffler said. “We discussed joining the union, but we agreed it was too expensive, and our salary was very low.”
WELL, HE’S RIGHT:

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Axios — Dems Might Be Commies but, Hey, They’re Sexy! “Using a favorite modern liberal buzzword, Axios is trying to normalize the commie element that’s been stirring things up for the Democratic National Committee. If they can focus on the fact that Abdul El-Sayed is wearing t-shirts to show off his biceps, they might be able to distract some voters from the fact that he’s a far-left, terrorist-loving cancer.”

HMM: OpenAI builds dedicated ChatGPT experience for teens with parental controls and study features.
The ChatGPT for Teens portal will serve as the default experience on the artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot for users between the ages of 13 and 17 and will come with new safeguards aimed at fostering the safe use of the platform and supporting teens’ critical thinking skills.
OpenAI said that most teen users of ChatGPT use it for homework and help with their studies, so the new platform is intended to allow for study aides without giving the answers away and was designed with Stanford University.
It will feature quizzes and responsible-homework reminders that redirect teens toward collaborative problem-solving, as well as a Study Hours feature that allows teens or parents to set Study Mode as a default during certain time periods.
Those seem like sensible guardrails, but my wife and I wouldn’t even let our kids have social media until they were at least 16 — so this might’ve been a hard No, too.
