When we started using AI to advance ferret legalization, we learned the reason ferrets are not legal:

Ferrets are banned because they are not considered normally domesticated, and they are not considered normally domesticated because they are banned.

Last week I learned something new. I can use Claude.ai to go through all the public records request files on my hard drive and analyze them. The most profound finding:

The Fish and Game Commission has required that, to advance legalization, we follow procedures that don't exist. For 25 years we've been in a maze with no way out.

AI is getting stronger, and we're getting better at using it.
