As the Trump administration ordered agencies to eradicate “illegal” diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, we identified more than 1,000 nonprofits that removed such language from the mission statem...

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. Indelible truth that all humans, regardless of race, place of origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, social status, wealth, physical ability, education or neurodiversity inherently have value, are equal AND must be treated as such. Basic starter for everything.

The way the press is treating chatbots, like they have agency and they “know” things all of a sudden, crossed the line recently from dumb and obsequious to something else entirely. Treating them as alive and making conscious decisions is an almost religious belief. It won’t age well.

This is becoming increasingly common—big, supposedly left leaning accounts share fake stories and leave them up, even after they’ve been informed they aren’t real. Worse, their sycophantic followers excuse this behavior and say it doesn’t matter if it is fake.

The blame for alleged fraud in Minnesota belongs to conservatives
Privatization and a lack of oversight creates a vicious cycle.

This is bullshit. A chatbot is not something that can apologize.
Pretending otherwise is simple laundering these companies' bullshit about what AI is, while diffusing blame away from the human beings that developed and released this system.
