#62You know, everyone is jumping to conclusions here about the evils of whomever their political rival is. However, this is a website, based on code. And based on my most recent experiences with AI, I think it's more plausible that someone: A.) Copied a file into an AI prompt (or use an AI agent). B.) Asked the AI to do something to the file (like adjust the layout of the page, alter CSS, optimize something, or whatever…

#69Presuming this is just incompetence instead of malice, when the missing paragraphs are replaced, will "Constitution of the United States Website has replaced missing sections" hit the front page of HN?

This is a Congressional website, this is not a Presidential website.
