extrajudicial killings are a lot like Jesus healing someone when you really think about it
Quite the shift from "I think if you do something bad you should die" immediately to "as they say in the Bible..."

That is not the day to decide you want a daily creation habit.
Instead, start now, build inertia, and hit the new year at a run.

No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything.
Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine.
But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires?

Genuinely terrifying. Healthcare (really, health insurance) costs skyrocketing. Then complicated by these fuckers wanting us all to be more sick, all the time. Our kids, sick. Our elders, sick. All of us, sicker and sicker, and paying more for it.
If new proposals detailed in an FDA memo are put into place, experts told me it would mean the end of annual flu shots. And end of most vaccines for pregnant people. And maybe the end of updates to pneumonia vaccines. And more.

Q: You outlined the dangers posed by drugs. So what explanation do you have for Trump pardoning the former president of Honduras?
SEN. ROGER MARSHALL: I don't know the details. Happy to look into it. I can't speak to it
Q: Alright. Um. Ok. Like, no thought on it?
