“Once AI systems are trained to lie about basic facts, those lies get embedded in everything they produce. Every piece of writing, every analysis, every answer carries those distortions forward. …It's like poisoning the well of human knowledge.”
How Trump Plans to Weaponize AI's "Superhuman Persuasion"

And now Emanuel wants Democrats to double down on this failed strategy. He wants them to go from silent to complicit. From cowardly to cruel.”

the shift came in large part because the centrists and especially the centrist media establishment became enamored with transphobia and waged a long and successful “just asking questions” campaign to erode decades of progress on trans rights
i listened to the Ezra Klein/Sarah McBride interview, and her entire position revolves around a completely unproven assertion: the idea what caused the shift in polls away from trans rights is the rhetoric of the left. that might be true, but i haven’t seen any real evidence for it.

One's "criminal record"? Apparently being a domestic violence victim.
