so it turns out that the identity verification provder persona, with its well documented links to peter thiel from the epstein files and palintir, is keeping all data of targets and linking them to intelligence databases and watch lists, exactly like you suspected

the watchers: how openai, the US government, and persona built an identity surveillance machine that files reports on you to the feds
53MB of source code leaked from a government endpoint. 269 verification checks. biometric face databases. SAR filings to FinCEN. and the same company that verifies your ChatGPT account.

devastating and disgusting and so little has fucking changed. this is a valuable read as insight into our historic national cruelty and the people it disenfranchises, though.
On this day in 1923, the U.S. Supreme Court *unanimously* decided that people of South Asian descent could not be American citizens, and retroactively stripped citizenship from many who had already been naturalized. Years of organized persecution followed. www.saada.org/explore/publ...

The Thind decision dealt a devastating blow to all South Asians in the United States, especially those who had become naturalized citizens. It disrupted dreams. It put already vulnerable people at fur...

Every year I tell the story of my Jewish ass being sleep deprived and having no idea what Ash Wednesday was, walking home from a night partying and thinking all of Chicago had joined some sort of zombie cult while I slept off my underage hangover on a friend's couch. 1/2

I, for one, am obsessed with wind turbines and I desperately want to ride an ATV (or ebike??) through a wind farm even though I know I'll be terrified of them up close bc they're too big YAY TECHNOLOGY
"Is there a technology the left is excited about?"

Let's see, off the top of my head:

- libraries
- solar power
- community-owned, community-run [noun], for example
• power grids
• communications networks
- e-bikes
- voting by mail
- vaccinations
- affordable health care

Notice any patterns?

Imagine doing this with your one precious life. Other people are out there teaching children and curing cancer and you decide to spend your time telling outrageous, laughably unbelievable lies about a dementia-addled rapist and fraud whose legacy will be nearly ending US democracy
Leavitt: "I think it's frankly ridiculous that anyone in this room would even suggest that President Trump is doing anything for his own benefit. He left a life of luxury and a life of running a very successful real estate empire for public service."

I also might add that "my thing can be better" by way of paying professionals a fair rate to contribute their skills to the project. 🙃
I have a short screenplay and its soundtrack album just waiting to be filmed and recorded. I plan to do it with no budget whatsoever. So, Ian, I think the best idea is to give the money to me so my thing can be better, because your thing will inevitably suck.
AI filmmaking is completely unserious.

You've got people with $30k begging the internet for ideas by next week because they have nothing of their own to say, it's just slop for the sake of slop. Embarrassing state of affairs.

I think it’s time for Democratic leaders to start saying “if you’re a pilot or ground crew involved in a deportation that was stayed by a judge, you’ll be held criminally liable for human trafficking.” Everyone involved in these flights should have that fear in the back of their minds.
Overnight, this probable ICE flight landed in Benin and is now returning to Senegal, likely for a crew layover.

REMEMBER: All the "Don't use em-dashes" "don't use rule of three" advice because it makes your writing "look like AI" is because they stole actual writers work, and their "predict the next thing" stuff just simulates what WE FUCKING DO. Keep writing well. Use every style and trick you have. Fuck AI.
