Like vaccines denialists, I feel being able to say "birth is totally safe" with a straight face can only be the result of a generation that both
1) Has no living relatives that remember when that was not the case, and
2) Does not own a library card/history book.

did you read the free birth thing? it’s basically granola moms gone wild and honestly zombies would be a blessing at this point: www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

We joke about the Torment Nexus and all that, but...
The truth is science fiction warned us endlessly not to let fear control us.
"Fear is the mind killer"
"Fear is a path to the Dark Side"
etc.
Silicon Valley claimed to love SF, then built a machine to amplify fear as a means to control people.

For the love of all that is holy, we're on THE INTERNET... you could be LITERALLY anywhere with internet service. PLEASE! state/city, prov/city, or whatever is relevant. 🤦

As I regularly note, "AI" at this point is an umbrella marketing term for a bunch or generative/machine learning/other formerly differently-termed processes that (of course) have no actual intelligence behind them. It means nothing useful for how the underlying computing proceeds. Thus the quotes.
I love how you used quotation marks around "AI." If you've been doing that all along, I'm kicking myself for not noticing. It's a misleading or just lying marketing term and we shouldn't accept and repeat it without pushback. Generative LLMs are not AI.

Excellent rule for life in general, really.
Cops are literally trained to manipulate information out of you. And for all the chatter I see about their nefarious, underhanded methods for this, the truth is, most don't need to bother, because a lot of you volunteer that shit willingly.
