My first reaction is “Are you f—-ing kidding me with this? YES it’s pedophilia.”
My second reaction is “Attempting to redefine pedophilia is the desperate act of a movement that knows its pedophile leader is all over those files”.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

“learn how to use AI.”
Roflmfao wut?
The point of AI is to control your computer using natural language. Literally the sales proposition is that it removes the barriers so you never have to learn anything. Nobody has to “learn to use” AI—it’s targeted at people who already don’t know anything.

People should absolutely be in the streets protesting against this by any means. AI data centres are being built for one primary purpose: mass surveillance. It's a decentralized cop city that must be stopped in its tracks

OpenAI looking for a bailout guarantee from the government seems, uh, bad, considering the fact that its spending on data centers seems to be single-handedly holding American capitalism together

The NYT editorial pages has eroded to a mere series of cringe now. Just the most predictable garbage from smooth-brained pundits.
we can chalk it up to youth and inexperience but the biggest mistake the mamdani campaign made was winning by 8.8% and not 1.5%, which is the margin needed for the media to say it’s a total mandate
