In addition to how deeply wrong I believe this to be, it makes clear how complex our fight for the future will be.
We all need to REALLY understand why this is wrong and dangerous. And this is not only about people with dementia.

The comments on this are all about how sweet it is and I feel insane. Using AI to make fake memories of your grandma with dementia and telling her they happened and then filming her reaction

While more research is always welcome, it seems that using a LLM for essay writing could negatively impact one’s cognitive abilities.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Kind of wild how the take that some of Trump's supporters were "deplorable" was some huge scandal, but regularly screaming about "radical left scum" is just a thing he'll say with no media backlash.

Hillary’s “basket of deplorables” speech *defended* conservatives.
Paraphrasing: “Some call all Republicans racist, homophobic, and otherwise bigoted, but that’s unfair to millions. It’s only half, the rest are good people.”
But the press made calling an openly bigoted campaign bigoted a scandal.

How many different tasks do you end up having to do in a single work day?
Is it more than eight?
Because once "AI" agent models hit eight things, they begin to fuck up and break down.
