Did anyone actually read the letter in the X post? It just says that Southwest is not going to interpret diversity requirements as quotas in the second bullet point, right before immediately saying that they will increase "diversity" if those quotas aren't met, in bullet point three. This is hardly the death of DEI; they're just using corpo-speak to say they're going to continue to use quotas.
This is very likely the case. Large Language Models (LLM's) are only trained on data up until a certain cutoff date. Less sophisticated models will try to make up answers for questions about dates beyond that cutoff, while more sophisticated models are able to tell the querier that it cannot reliably answer the question. Simply put, AI cannot tell the future.

This is the only reason that I think the candidate that the Democrats run is somewhat important. If they get stuck with Biden and they cheat, it becomes more obvious that they cheated; if they run someone else and cheat, it may not be as obvious to normies that they cheated.
Essential roles within the government still get paid when the government shuts down. They just keep paying money they haven't yet printed. When the government has a budget again, they calculate that in. Don't act like you don't get paid, fed boi.
