Trump admin just banned individual users like me from using it, indefinitely, under vague authority. When did we become such a nanny state?

#262Last year Tim Cook gifted Trump a custom, one-of-a-kind glass plaque with a 24-karat gold base [1]. (Cook needed a policy outcome that would protect Apple's supply chain costs and avoid a costly 100% tariff on certain chips and components.)
You may have to make similar offerings if you want to use the latest version of ChatGPT.

It would be really nice if the executive were blocking these releases based on some authority the legislative had granted it.

#269Something about this makes my stomach churn… This is not a good sign for the future of the USA.
I hope the country doesn’t become the new USSR.
