Writing about AI recently it occurred to me that our big problem right now is that no one is looking for answers anymore. We're only looking for confirmation. We've stopped seeking the truth and are only interested in finding "proof" to justify the things we believe that aren't backed up by reality.

Bluesky Safety definitely thought Carol was asking for a live hand grenade.
The account owner of @sarahkendzior.bsky.social was suspended for 72 hours for expressing a desire to shoot the author of an article. The post, made 11/10, stated: "I want to shoot the author of this article just to watch him die." 1/2

The next film should open with Bond waking up in Bob Newhart’s apartment. He walks into the living room to find a nonverbal child staring at a snow globe.
Also, not specific to this discourse, but as long as you're not a coward you can, in fact, just have a character wake up in bed and say "Whew! It was all a dream!"
