I am a turtle. No. Wait. I am a human.

I founded GovTrack.us (https://www.govtrack.us, GovTrack.us (npub12yt…uk3t)) in 2004 and have been creating a more accountable U.S. Congress ever since. Also created Mail-in-a-Box (https://mailinabox.email). During the day I lead an engineering team at a scientific software company.

I've sent polite messages to three people/addresses associated with the New York Post hoping to make contact with a human on their Editorial team. So far no response. I want to let them know that their editorial, which didn't seem comment from me beforehand, has defamatory statements about GovTrack.
Their Editorial Board hides behind a cloak of anonymity. I don't have that luxury.

Code for America is on the AI bandwagon now? A workshop to "learn techniques for ensuring accurate, trustworthy results."
The idea that one can use presumably LLM-based AI to "ensure" accuracy is obviously technically facile, and the idea that with one workshop you can "ensure" public trust is laughable.
