I'm interested in an opposing view as long as it's supported by data, ethics, human rights.
I can be wrong about things! I'm sure I am plenty of times, and I'm ready to change my mind when presented with new/better facts.
But with the fools spamming fascist noise it's fun to just erase them.😄

A 15-year-old autistic boy walked away from his mother's fruit stand. When she called police for help, they found him, called ICE, and locked him away for weeks.

Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.
She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.

Man won a narrow plurality of the vote, and immediately and very predictably started plummeting, and so many people and institutions who had no real need to go that far, even on the most cynical and cowardly of self-serving rationales, decided to chain themselves to the deck of a sinking ship.

The GUARD Act may look like a child-safety bill, but in practice it’s an age-gating mandate that could impose a mass censorship and surveillance regime on nearly every public-facing AI chatbot. Tell Congress to oppose the GUARD Act today. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

A new bill sponsored by Sen. Hawley (D-MO), Sen. Blumenthal (D-CT), Sen. Britt (R-AL), Sen. Warner (D-VA), and Sen. Murphy (D-CT) would require AI chatbots to verify all users’ ages, prohibit minors
