"Western civilization," the font, the 11 stars - 11 states in the confederacy, for the record.

Why is this never news? Why are we letting our government agencies do this sort of thing while the news agencies report on hallucinated trade deals and act like everything is normal

It is insane that the US President regularly gets massive bribes paid out by the world’s top universities and he remains President.

A reminder primary everyone in congress, the fact this entire term hasn’t been impeachment proceedings after impeachment proceedings shows how useless this lot are

I have spent my entire adult life nearly warning about Trump and fascism’s rise, and only now are enough people waking up.
A running theme of Trump II is cautious, level-headed, mainstream, career professional experts sounding existential alarms about how we aren't panicking nearly enough.
I know you already know, but for other folks who don't, Goldsmith was previously head of OLC, is a genuinely brilliant mind on executive authority and separation of powers, and is usually very cautious about making claims this unqualified and direct. That he is saying it so starkly is v significant

Every prompt to chatbot software is “generate me some text.” If it generated you some text, it performed its function correctly. It never lies, it never wants anything, it’s text generating software that generates text.
Not wanting to disappoint you so much that it lies is the last quality I want in a computer.

You should see how they all do with making a clock... updates every minute, and somehow most never get any better at it.. and those that do, will not necessarily in the next minute.

The majority of the public believes lots of insane things, and at different points in history it’s been significantly worse. If our standard is “If most people believe it, it must be true, and bare minimum we must act like it’s true,” it locks us into many delusions and some outright horrors
Well… considering our entire culture and governmental framework is based on public opinion that seems to be the operating condition. Correct? Starts to go down to arguments we are rehashing today in some ways…

I will say it’s exceedingly clear you’ll never be a successful politician. Good thing.

Auto text generation is worthless and has hit a quality cap, autoimage gen has eradicated the concept of photographic truth, and autovideogen is likely going to be the fascist's best friend.
