Imagine telling young Jews they're Jewing wrong. Fuck off forever, HRC
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.

No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything.
Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine.
