The level of plot armor Trump has against, not even things that would sink another politician, but would get any other human set on fire forever, is so total & unprecedented I’m beginning to think the only possibly scientific explanations are genie’s wish, warlock powers, alien, or actual Antichrist
I know, I know, Trump raped kids & was accessory to killing a baby & the source is an official gov. doc they gave us, but have you considered Kamala laughed weird, Biden said the wrong name, Dean yelled too loud, Kerry was boring, Dukakis looked dumb in a helmet, Obama was black & Hillary existed?

Generative AI is a poison that kills everything it touches all so people who are already rich get to be richer while you have to be poorer
We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.
Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

I cannot emphasize how serious an assault on democracy this is. Any effort by the Trump administration to engage in false claims of fraud or mass voter suppression relies on this as a building block. As importantly, there is no legitimate reason DOJ would want this information.

Senator Durbin has had this explained to him multiple times. Getting rid of 230 doesn't help this, but will make it worse. It will make it impossible for smaller sites to exist (like this one) and will give MORE POWER to companies like Meta and X.
