The realization can either break you or liberate you.
If we could capture the energy generated by all the rugs being pulled by Trump world figures we could power an AI data center for at least an hour
limiting voting to "natural persons" could be a useful prophylactic against whatever wild new AI bs is coming down the pike, too (or, alternately, prove to be problem once John Roberts pronounces ex cathedra that all Democratic voters are obvious robots whose votes must be discarded)

New from me: "Entity voting" has survived its 1st legal challenge. A Delaware court ruled that it does not dilute the votes of humans in violation of the Del. Constitution, which requires “free & equal” elections.
The "free & equal" text appears in many state constitutions.

Seems like HB 430, a bill that proposes to amend Delaware's constitution to restrict voting to "natural persons" (e.g. to ban corporate voting) is going to get a hearing in a House committee this week.

I dug into the Alt5 saga for CNBC. In August, the elder Trump brothers celebrated a deal that saw the family earn a half-billion dollars. On the other side of that deal was a little-known stock, then called Alt5 Sigma. It has turned out very poorly for Alt5's investors, who have taken 93% losses.

Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. celebrated a deal with Alt5 Sigma that generated roughly $500 million for the Trump family. The company's shares are down 93%.
