The deadline is approaching for the US Postmaster General to respond to complaints about the ongoing mail delays in Georgia.

U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff is putting more pressure on the post office after Channel 2 Action News exposed problems with mail being delayed sometimes for two weeks or more.

A group of bi-partisan lawmakers has grilled Postmaster General Louis DeJoy and Ossoff gave him a deadline of May 16 to respond to the issues. So far, Ossoff says he hasn’t gotten a response.

“The postmaster general has this one job: Deliver the mail on time. He is failing the people of Georgia,” Ossoff said.

“If he can’t solve this problem, I don’t think he deserves this job,” he added.

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. This is actually a very old and well known limitation we, humans, have: we overthink and misunderstand randomness.
