"... we will stop removing content that advances false claims that widespread fraud, errors, or glitches occurred in the 2020 and other past US Presidential elections."

Utterly and completely unacceptable.

I am a Googler and I agree 100% with this analysis. I don't wish to demean my coworkers who worked very hard on it, but I really wish we could avoid a future of AI-generated emails. Alas, it seems that it's likely unavoidable at this point.

PSA: any manager who plans for 7-day workweeks and asserts this is the Right Thing To Do is incompetent and/or malevolent and should be (at least) removed from management, unless the project they are managing is "save humanity from a zombie invasion" or similar, and I will absolutely die on this hill

"Let’s get this out of the way right now because not only did the explosion of AI in 2023 prove to be the dominant strain of brain rot among tech news topics, its towering philosophical stupidity ultimately rose to overshadow a lot of otherwise quite pressing tech fails that deserve to be slung into the literary sky and double-barrel obliterated like clay pigeons."

So, despite what rational sense as well as several dictates would seem to demand, we are attempting to use the "Cmake Projects in Visual Studio" feature of MSVS https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/cmake-projects-in-visual-studio?view=msvc-170

We have… questions, which the docs don't seem to answer.

1. Many places in the VS docs refer to "the project" as if it were a singular file ( see screenshot of https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/common-macros-for-build-commands-and-properties?view=msvc-170 ). In the case of a CMake Target Project, what is "the project" in this sense? The CMakeLists.txt? The The CMakeSettings.json?
