i made a template you can use to think about what "frame/negation/kirby" looks like for other issues.
For example:
Frame: DOGE is a govt efficiency project to save $
Negation: Actually it made things less efficient and cost $
Kirby: DOGE was a project to break and privatize federal bureaucracy

okay so you know how the media has a problem with taking snippets of scientific studies out of context and writing articles which mislead the public?
now imagine a computer program is doing that when you ask it questions about scientific literature but also it makes stuff up.

This turns out to have not been a particularly tricky prediction.
I for one am excited for TikTok to show me a splashy "The US GOVERNMENT HAS DESTROYED EVERYTHING YOU LOVE" screen when I open the app next week followed by Donald Trump crawling through glass to get it back because it helped get him elected thus solidifying him as a HERO OF THE EVERYDAY AMERICAN.

A reminder as Musk-bots, Trump-bots, and other bots start hitting Bluesky: blocking users removes their replies from your posts entirely.
The correct way of handlin antagonizing parties is to block. Not reply. Not dunk. Not mute. Block. It stops their reach and effectiveness right there.

3. Yes, it’s getting worse, not better.
4. Only a fool willingly adds more bullshit to their life.

Daily reminder that the underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.
Anyway, AI has already stolen friends’ work, and is going to put other people out of work.
I do not think a political party that claims to be the party of workers in this country should be using it. Even for just a silly joke.

-keep your cats indoors. They can catch it from infected birds and mice.
-do not feed them raw dairy
-do not feed them raw meat
