Pretty convincing evidence here that the Trump administration was planning to jailbreak and provide asylum for Bolsonaro -- and that Trump inadvertently revealed the plan.
And this, as the now-cliche goes, would have been a paralyzing scandal for any other administration.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't. But it's too rich to pass up.
The centrist faction's biggest fossil-fuel promoter "genuinely" does "not understand" why Trump is gearing up to invade the sovereign nation that has the biggest oil reserves on the planet.

I just don't think there was anything in our evolutionary past to have influenced the development of an evolutionary response to it that simulated consciousness but was not conscious. There are no brain resources to have adapted to such a concept. Even the uncanny valley response is to corpses.
Ok I read the article so you don’t have to and honestly it isn’t as obnoxious as the headline but it’s not leaning into the most interesting part of the question, which is “why do we still know so little about human consciousness that we can’t easily explain why a talking machine isn’t conscious”

This Administration’s policies will spur millions of new infections and deaths from AIDS. Today’s announcement is simply to rub all of our noses in this. It is to say: we know what we’re doing; we don’t care. It is pure sadism. It’s a descent into barbarism once again.
