Do you know who actually wrote any law passed in the past 5 years?
I mean actually know. Who contributed? who understood the legalese? who snuck in something that meant something else when actually enacted?
The answer probably no for almost everybody. Even the people who vote on the laws usually have no idea who actually worked on a bill. They know the sponsors and whoever comes with the petitioner to talk about it. It’s not usually full of attributations.
We pay huge bucks to lawyers to read over this stuff and to consider the impact of a bill before actually discussing it in committees before it even gets a vote, typically. If something is missed it’s on the elected officials.
This is such a non-news story because the humans read something and chose to go with it. End of story.
I was actually sitting here not even thinking about ChatGPT or about Brazil. I was thinking about the metadata and algorithms on the internet that propped this story up and want me to be mad about it… or something. I don’t really know what I’m supposed to say about fucking Brazil having ChatfuckingGPT write their laws. Is this the thing I am supposed to care about this week?
Sometimes it’s more frustrating not knowing how they want me to feel about this stuff than it is to be constantly barraged by the outrageous posturing of the news.
