You all make us proud. Every time we share information, you’re right there helping us amplify it and push back. Huge thanks to those who stepped up—especially the lawyers. Word spread, and Musk’s team was made aware that Wisconsin law prohibits payments for voter turnout.

Between stealing Scarlett Johansson’s voice after she refused them or allowing users to copy the work of vocal AI hater Miyazaki, it’s clear that OpenAI’s MO is to attempt to dominate/humiliate its critics. A product and user base made up of nothing but petulant, talentless children.

Even if the technocrats were right about AI replacing all jobs (they’re not), notice they never pitch any vision for what happens to humans. “No one has to work anymore” sounds great, but the only version of it where we’re not sleeping under bridges is one where these guys pay their fucking taxes

Bill Gates: Within 10 years, AI will replace many doctors and teachers—humans won't be needed ‘for most things'
Over the next decade, advances in artificial intelligence will mean that humans will no longer be needed "for most things" in the world, says Bill Gates.

Call it anecdotal, but my Canadian friends who are cancelling their US travel are not doing it because of tariff worries at all; they’re doing it because the US government is currently actively threatening Canada’s sovereignty and economy and they’re all justifiably furious
This is exactly why Canadians are fed up with US media.
A segment on Canadians cancelling Vermont vacations. Mentions tariffs but not (1) who started the trade war or (2) that the US is constantly threatening to ANNEX our country!
This isn’t MAGA. It’s not FOX. It’s a random NBC affiliate.
