Yet another reminder that "Artificial Intelligence" in regards to LLMs is a misnomer/marketing bullshit and they're just glorified word-matching algorithms rather than actually intelligent.

Yeah, Rubio's throwing Witkoff under the bus here, no doubt about it.

To shunt this fight to right before the midterms, with the idea being that it could potentially supercharge what is likely to be a blue wave. It's essentially a live hand grenade that either goes off in the GOP's face now or later.

You're missing the fact that the compromise would've kicked the can down the road right to before the midterms, where this whole fight would've started all over again with the GOP at a disadvantage. Schumer played a shockingly savvy hand that the GOP could not win against.

Nah, he left Bluesky because it it wasn't crypto enough for his liking and actually had centralized moderation (which he no likely). ATProtocol is more than mature enough, it's just that it actually takes work to spin up a new instance, unlike Mastodon.

So you completely ignored the feedback about the adult content censorship? The part about "consensual" content forces creators to walk around eggshells, "consent" shouldn't matter for entirely content without real people depicted. The new guidelines are too restrictive and ripe for abuse.

And Erza loses what little respect I had for him. Charlie Kirk was a neo-nazi, full stop. He spread hateful, morally bankrupt 'opinions' and advocated for political violence which eventually came back around on him. He should not have been murdered, but good riddance regardless.

ICE agents are goddamn psychopaths, the lot of them. The whole agency needs to be disbanded once Trump is out of office.

Ted Cruz clowning on Iran hawks while the MSM tries to manufacture consent for yet another goddamn war in the Middle East at the behest of the genocidal Israeli regime was not on my bingo card this year. (It's obviously because Tucker is a Russian puppet but still.)

This feels like the "DOJ and Trump are throwing an outright tantrum" stage of this whole insane saga. The SC straight up told them no with no wiggle room and they're desperately trying to make some.

One of the men who wrote Section 230, Ron Wyden, is literally one of your fellow Democrats in the senate - maybe you ask him why he's not a fan of repealing it.

And if you think repealing it make big tech accountable despite the unlimited cash and endless lawyers they have, you're dreaming.

To be fair, if AOC and the other progressives didn't fall in line and let Pelosi and Schumer be the face of the "Biden needs to step down" movement everyone would've been blaming the left for undermining him. They made the right call at the time. (Honestly Biden should've stepped down much earlier.)
