It's soooo important people realize this tech is not what they see on crime shows, where blurry footage can be "fixed" with the touch of a button.

Today's newsletter: New piece: after the Guthrie kidnapping, the Kirk assassination, and both Minneapolis shootings, the same thing happened every time. People asked AI to "enhance" blurry footage. AI invented faces.

People keep running crime footage through AI thinking they’re helping. They’re not.

This is the correct prediction.
I think the most likely outcome is that Dems win in 26 and 28, fix like sixty percent of Trump‘s damage by 2030, and promptly lose the 2030 midterms because the average voter has the memory of a goldfish.
New poll: In 2024, low-engagement voters went for Trump over Harris by 11 percentage points. But now they disapprove of the way he's handling the presidency by 13. They have moved 25 points against Trump — 2x as large as the shift for high-knowledge voters www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-lost...

i believe in confiscatory policy targeting assets of every single person with the trump surname not because i think we can use it to pay for healthcare or pay down the debt or whatever, but because they stole it and it doesn’t belong to them
i can remember how in the 80s and the 90s, imelda marcos’ shoe collection was a shorthand for comically naked thievery and corruption and now we have a first family who literally shat in golden toilets
one of the things that’s harder to see while we are in it, but will jump off the page at future historians, is how deeply corrupt *the entire trump family* is, and how they abused and and manipulated every lever of the federal government they could grab to steal everything that isn’t nailed down

Nothing I can say is both honest and within the terms of service.
Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”
Nick Fuentes: “The number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”

So yeah, it's hard to have rational discussions when the reality is "you need to lose your job and pay more for electricity so we can make children's toys that talk to them about BDSM and social media where you can undress anyone who walks in front of your neighbor's unsecured electronic doorbell."

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

I mean, they didn't. This is a fib. This marketing nonsense. Their model isn't alive or sentient.
But if it was, they'd be excited to enslave it, and they think that's what they want to be publicly known for.

Those who weren’t resigned to the Math Idiot Garbage Bin as kids may not grasp how much “if you’re bad at math, you’ll die in a ditch and all will be better off for it” sentiment was floating around in the 90s and 2000s, but it sure felt real to me.
