Former President Donald Trump cruised to victory in Nebraska's Republican presidential primary Tuesday night, as projected by the Associated Press, winning 80.2% of votes in the state.

Despite Trump's dominance in the 2024 primary cycle, a number of "Never Trumper" Republicans have stayed loyal to the more moderate former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley. She won 17.9% of the vote in Tuesday's primary, with an estimated 97% reporting.

Trump has already surpassed the threshold of delegates required to secure the Republican nomination and is slated to speak at the Republican National Convention in July.

AI models have favorite numbers, because they think they're people
AI models are always surprising us, not just in what they can do, but what they can't, and why. An interesting new behavior is both superficial and revealing about these systems: they pick random numbers as if they're human beings, which is to say, badly. This is actually a very old and well known limitation that we, humans, have: we overthink and misunderstand randomness.
