Not satisfied with just destroying their own brand goodwill, OS companies are now using AI to try to destroy the good names of the apps users install. (Scrivener taking out adds to explain how it has no AI but Apple adds some anyway.)

NEWS: During a hearing in federal court in VA, prosecutors confirmed that the operative indictment in the case against James Comey was never shown to or voted on by the entire grand jury before it was presented in open court.

Why does EVERY single dude proselytizing about AI look like Ben Shapiro's slightly hotter, but equally dim, cousin?
"AI can write literary prose now!"
No, it can't. It can regurgitate stolen words. Go back to snorting espresso beans, you absolute turnips.

just a little fact to have in your back pocket in case someone in a position of power tells you about their sincere concerns regarding the oppression of Christians in foreign lands and that they might even start a war over it if any Christians are facing oppression in a foreign land

apropos of nothing in particular, Saudi Arabia has a population of 35 million but only 19 million are citizens, in part because only Muslims can be citizens of Saudi Arabia, so the ~2 million Christians in the country are “foreign workers” forever, even if born there
