I had this conversation the other day. A friend of mine said they prefer google’s AI mode because it bypasses dubious sponsored links and seems to be accurate especially when it uses Wikipedia and one can guess where the conversation went next
I am constantly forced to confront this at various media gatherings (at one today!) and people still talk about it mythically, hype up edge cases, and when I ask regular AI users how it has dramatically changed their everyday life they say “it’s replaced Google for me,” because it summarizes Google.

This week Section 230 turned 30, and you'll see a bunch of posts on Techdirt today and the rest of the week about the importance of Section 230, but my first contribution this week is how the arguments against 230 are so contradictory that it should give everyone pause to consider why.

Here's what's strange about Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, the law that made the open internet possible: Both sides of the traditional political spectrum hate it. But for opposite reasons. That, alone, should highlight that something is wrong in their analysis. Republicans hate it because they say it lets websites censor conservative speech. Democrats hate it because they say it lets websites host dangerous disinformation.

Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

She is literally one of the most beautiful women in the world right now
It's about hierarchy. "Beauty" is subjective, the idea of a black woman portraying the most beautiful woman in the world offends them because white people are supposed to be the most beautiful and it is therefore offensive, it's so straightforwardly racist bsky.app/profile/radl...
The woke scolds are trying to make this about racism. But Musk is right. It's about historical and scientific integrity. When the God of Thunder disguises himself as a swan to seduce and fuck a queen and the resulting baby hatches from an egg, *of course* the baby will be white. It's just science.

Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?
HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down
