Great article about AI. We are compromising landscapes, environments, power supplies, author copyrights--all on behalf of a system that will universally and instantly create and spread disinformation.

Yesterday someone sent me their family genealogy info deciphered in Chinese by AI and I had to keep telling them AI hallucinates and is terrible with cursive, handwriting, stamps, and research. How can I get this to stop...

I was asked about sensitivity reading for Japanese representation by someone who thought I also did translations from Japanese because AI told them so. This is some messed up dystopia I am living in ugh.

"So he can feel a bit more manly by making an AI video" is a direct callback to this image that deserves a second life in this campaign

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: Mike Rogers is a guy who wants to put a data center in your backyard so he can feel a bit more manly by making an AI video. If you want a senator who's gonna lick some boots, go vote for Rogers. But if you want a senator who's going to stand up to Trump, you've got your option.

Meanwhile, 1000s of Albertans have died from opioid poisonings & those who want help still face long waits to get it while UCP defunded & ended programs that keep people alive long enough to get help. When will the UCP set aside their ideology & address this crisis with the urgency it deserves?

It’s been 6 years, 2 Premiers & 5 Ministers of Mental Health & Addictions (3 full, 2 assoc.) since UCP first promised to build these communities across Alberta And now, with millions of Albertans’ tax $ spent, several are caught in a web of missed payments & alleged crooked contracts. 1/2 #abpoli

Some time in the future, US parents explaining to their adult children: "I don't know why we didn't impeach him, or try him for his hundreds of heinous crimes, and jail him for the remainder of his life. We just didn't." "Why did you elect him twice?" "I don't know why. We just did."

The United States Treasury: An ATM for the Rich and Powerful

Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.

A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

I’m glad the President has his priorities straight.

Hours after Donald Trump announced a “historic” agreement for disarming Hamas and Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza, Israel attacked Gaza, killing 19. Palestinians weren't surprised. “We don’t trust Israel, and we don’t trust America,” said one resident.

I mean this in all seriousness, this is a severely mentally ill & delusional person who not only should be removed from office under the 25th amendment, but he should be in a psych ward. This is pure insanity on so many levels. He lives in a fantasy world. He is unwell & has lost touch with reality.
