I seriously thought that GitHub CoPilot was suggesting how to find new kinds of sarin gas. https://www.theverge.com/2022/3/17/22983197/ai-new-possible-... How long until it does?

Author here. I’m the chair of the Center for Election Science. Happy to answer any questions that anyone might have. I’m really excited to have this article published in rollcall, which is a significant Washington DC newspaper.

My wife and I went to Paris, and in our AirBnB there was a fantastic little radio. We'd turn it on and listen to Radio FIP and just leave it going. I had forgotten the pleasure of listening to what was on, rather than picking, or worse
