The way that everyone sees fantom AI in original work now is such a fucked up secondary downstream AI nightmare consequence. People can’t critically identify real art any longer and so everything gets accused of not being original. I don’t know how we climb out of this hole.

Watergate was a harmless prank, in terms of the scale of illegality & constitutional violations, compared to this. Again, this is the most basic "do we live under a functioning constitutional order?" type of stuff. The answer, sadly, is no, because this hasn't immediately ended his presidency.

I mean, if you just straight up ignore all the kids it killed, then sure. If we’re going by that logic, then no disease has ever been a threat to anyone.
Lewis Goodall@lewisgoodall.com · 4d agoCovid was- overwhelmingly- not a threat to children. Hence why (generally) we don’t vaccinate them now.
as zohran demonstrates, you should elect people who love where they live instead of people who hate where they live and call it a shithole. america elected a man who hates america and has proceeded to trash the place accordingly.

They murdered Edwin Jovanny López Cornejo by denying him his meds for diabetes, epilepsy, and high blood pressure. He was here for 20 years, on his way to work, they wouldn't even let his 12 year old daughter visit him. ICE and these for profit prison guards are the worst of the worst, not Jovanny.
