I struggle with all of the “Happy Thanksgiving” posts. I was taught lies in school. I grew up to learn the barbarism of the truth. That we continue to celebrate it as such feels like a betrayal - bc it is. We spend the day together making no mention of the lie.

I’m sure I’m gonna get dragged for this, but I think AI is bad. AI has completely ruined Google search and it’s created a lot more slop that needs to be avoided on the Internet.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.

My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.
