I am still shocked by how genuinely stupid he is I mean there's been reporting for years about why Afghans who assisted the US military in Afghanistan needed to come to the US. Because they'd be seen as traitors if they stayed there and they and their families would be persecuted.

Question: If nearly 14M people have viewed the AI video posted by the US President, will Facebook’s recommendation engine push even more AI content to those 14M people now? I mean more than it’s already recommending without the US President encouraging the robots.

Benny isnt exactly there voluntarily, he was laying on my lap and Sam decided he also had to lay on my lap. So they’ve been smooshed together like this for about 45 minutes. I assume either could leave if they wanted to. I can’t feel my legs.
