• Summary: «The Transportation Department, which oversees the safety of airplanes, cars and pipelines, plans to use Google Gemini to draft new regulations. “We don’t need the perfect rule,” said DOT’s top lawyer. “We want good enough.”» This is bonkers. Safety regulations are "written in blood", i.e. the lives lost through preventable situations. This is clearly a sop to the transportation industry so they can cut corners at the expense of their passengers' lives.
