Martha Stewart, known as the "Queen of Thanksgiving," has some surprising plans for the holiday this year.

In an appearance on "The Kelly Clarkson Show," Stewart revealed she had "canceled" the Thanksgiving dinner she'd been planning to host because several of her guests were backing out – and also because she's already "turkeyed out."

"I gave up Thanksgiving," she admitted when Clarkson asked her if she had any special plans. "Nine guests canceled because somebody got sick, so I called up my chef friend and said, ‘We’re not doing Thanksgiving.'"

She added, "And I've also cooked up 14 turkeys already for my TV show."

"You've kind of done it," Clarkson told her.

Stewart agreed and said she still had to cook a 15th turkey for an appearance on another talk show.

"I am turkeyed out," she said.

Instead of hosting a dinner herself, she shared that her new plan is to "go to about five different homes" of friends to "taste different courses."

"Those friends must be so stressed out," Clarkson noted, and Stewart laughed and said, "I hope so."

The lifestyle guru has been tied to the holiday for several years – last year, she was crowned the Thanksgiving queen during an appearance on the "Today" show. She was given a sash with the title, as well as a scepter.

At the time of her appearance, there had been a lot of talk about Mariah Carey being the Christmas queen with her iconic holiday hit, "All I Want for Christmas Is You."

"I do believe that Thanksgiving is a very important time of year, and despite all other ideas that, you know, we skip over Thanksgiving, you never, never can. Here’s to our pioneers!" Stewart said upon being crowned.

She added, "And to Mariah, I still love you!"

In 2020, she said in another appearance on "Today" that she'd cooked "60 Thanksgivings, at least, maybe more" in her lifetime.

"‘Cause I got married when I was 19, and I did my first Thanksgiving… when I was 20 years old," she explained.

Although Stewart is putting a pause on the tradition this year, she's shared plenty of tips in the past about how to prepare a proper dinner.

Last year, she released a holiday edition of her digital publication Martha-logue, and there she went into detail about how to pick the "perfect turkey." She advised readers to go for a "free-range, hormone-free turkey" and to "order it well in advance," and for the size, she suggested having 1.5 pounds of turkey for every guest.

"Read your recipe well before you make it," she advised, so that all the ingredients and tools will be available when it's time to cook.

In an interview for Williams Sonoma, Stewart again pushed the idea of being prepared, this time specifically when it comes to meal prepping. She said, "On Thanksgiving, you’re largely roasting or reheating, not chopping, measuring – and missing out on quality time with your newly minted sister-in-law or parents!"

For decorations, she advised, "Floral décor always looks beautiful in the cozy colors of fall. Buy a variety of pumpkins, gourds and cut flowers ahead of time. Create your arrangements up to two days in advance and keep them refrigerated."

A final tip she shared was to have prepared slices of pie to send home with guests. "Garnish with sprigs of wheat, dried or faux berries, and raffia," she suggested. "And don’t forget the fork."

In a 2018 interview with Parade, she told readers, "Serving buffet style when hosting a big gathering is most practical and setting a beautiful and impressive buffet is easier than you think."

For those welcoming overnight guests, she offered, "A room for your holiday guests should be well-outfitted for their comfort. Choose high-quality cotton or cozy flannel sheets, a plush comforter and sets of fluffy towels. Don’t forget to leave a warm throw on the bed for afternoon naps."

President Joe Biden’s October 30 executive order on artificial intelligence is very broad and focuses a lot on safety but very little on freedom. 

It includes clauses on protecting personal privacy and copyrights of training data, watermarking AI content and deep fakes, equitable civil rights, employee replacement by AI tech, and safety of use cases that may affect the military or critical infrastructure.

It also provides a vague reference to minimal transparency by requiring AI companies to share results of red-team safety tests of their platforms which will eventually follow criteria of not-yet-developed standards by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

BIDEN HANDS CHINA BIG WIN WITH MILITARY DEAL, EXPERTS SAY: 'INCREDIBLY POOR DECISION'

Many other government agencies, including Departments of Commerce, Treasury, Energy, Defense and Homeland Security are invoked with roles in AI regulation and safety standards. Indeed, there are only a few lonely agencies not directly invoked to participate in regulating AI.

The goals of ensuring safe and non-military uses of AI are laudable. What is missing is real transparency on the training data and content restrictions that govern how these black-box AI systems generate content and whether "safety" standards will include viewpoint neutrality.

If one or a few AI platforms become a monopoly, and potentially replace the current monopoly of Google search platforms, then such transparency and viewpoint-neutrality are crucial. This will ensure free and fair distribution of news, opinions and academic debates without censorship or bias from so-called authoritative sources that promote the then-current government narrative.

Today, a few well-known online social media, search and video sharing platforms are already monopolies that completely dominate 80-90% of the visibility and sharing of content. 

Americans now report they get most of their news from these online sources, so these monopoly platforms have become the new town square of news, political opinion and academic debate. If a content creator or news site is not visible on the front page of Google search results, that site will disappear from the planet in terms of reader access.

If ensuring both online safety and viewpoint neutrality is a bridge too far for our current divided Congress to tackle, a first step that can gather bipartisan support and have a strong positive impact is to mandate public transparency for the online content moderation rules of these monopoly platforms. Such transparency would not need to ask companies to expose their trade secrets and core intellectual property, but would focus on the following:

1. Publish online content moderation standards with examples so that users can easily understand which content is allowed and which content may be moderated in some way.

2. For any enforcement action, an explanation of what specific content rules were broken and which specific content broke the rules.

3. If any third-party fact-checkers are involved in the enforcement action, publish the names, qualifications, funders and history of each fact-checker or fact-checking organization.

4. Rapid public reporting of any communications to/from government entities including entities funded by the government, all employees and contractors of such entities. Exception for official police or national security requirements.

5. If an AI platform approaches monopoly status with more than 50% share of AI content generation measured by active users or revenues, that platform would need to publish all relevant training data sources and content rules related to the content generated by such AI platform.

Enforcement could be handled like the enforcement of false advertising, with financial penalties for the companies with platforms that fail to publish and follow their content moderation rules. However, the glare of publicity is likely more powerful and important to help these companies publish and consistently and fairly follow reasonable content rules.

These requirements or similar transparency rules have appeared separately in various proposals from both Democrat and Republican sides of Congress.

Transparency alone does not solve all the challenges of online safety and viewpoint neutrality and related issues with existing Section 230 law, but it is a strong start and has a far higher chance of garnering bipartisan support for passage.
