Good thing we came to terms with that in 1789.

Very little on the "how", a lot of complaining that someone is able to publicize what occurs in publicly funded schools, and a huge amount of insinuation that anyone who wants to control their children's education has "blood on their hands".

This thread wildly misunderstands "chevron deference". "Ending chevron deference" does not somehow throw us into a Mad Max anarchic hellscape where agencies cannot actually do anything, because there is always some standard for what administrative rulemaking is permissible. There is a broader question of how much leeway they have, but clarifying that AI generated voices count as "artificial" under the statute barely requires a regulation, any more than they need one to say "hit in the head with a computer" constitutes an "assault".

Gerrymandering is required by federal law to make sure that blacks are able to elect black representatives; this has obvious second order effects in how the rest of the map is drawn under adversarial conditions. Somehow it seems unlikely that this requirement is going away anytime soon, so any proposed mechanism that does not accommodate this constraint is going to be impractical.

We learned during the COVID school shutdowns that schools would really prefer parents not be aware of what actually goes on during a typical schoolday.

Did you know that within living memory there was an entire network of anonymous telephones you could pay for with untraceable cash in five cent increments?

It's a little bit academic as most platforms (eg zoom) notify participants of in-band recording, and employee handbooks will often mention the possibility of recording and retention.

They will admit testimony by some cop to explain that "based on my training and experience, I believe 'going to the pool' to be code for 'soliciting a murder'"

EU governance structure is set up so that a EU parliament resolution has basically the status of a People's Choice Award.

That looks like a copy-paste of their general TOS, "...but for AI".

That's worldwide, not US. No one seems to know what these "subsidies" are in the US context other than vague complaints about tax treatment of profits. The numbers are never netted out of, eg, fuel tax either.

Those aren't American numbers. Many countries for instance subsidize fuel, the US taxes it.

Court historians telling the stories the ruling class wants in an effort to buttress their legitimacy is absolutely not new.

Identical phenomenon exists in US where groups with well above average incomes are considered officially "disadvantaged groups" for purposes of eg SBA loans.
