Being created and championed by people like Altman, Zuckerberg, Musk, and other oligarchs, is it any wonder that AI lies, won't admit when it's wrong, and has no problem spreading bad information and worse 'art?'

I've thought Jake Tapper was an arrogant fraud for years - glad he's finally revealed himself in a way that is undeniable.
You're not Cronkite, Jake.
You're not Woodward and/or Bernstein, Jake
You're next in line for Jesse Watters job.

Lorne Michaels has become the worst of everything he used to supposedly rebel against: Trump and Musk were reportedly invited to the big SNL 50th anniversary show.
I'm hoping the angry ghost of Michael O'Donoghue shows up and poltergeists that set into scrap.

Democratic leadership, please listen closely:
If our strategy is "wait for Trump to screw up" -- we will continue to lose and we will deserve it.
We need a plan. We need it now. And if you can't come up with a plan, you shouldn't be in leadership.

We should be understanding when our Trump-loving friends & relatives express their own fear & concern about what's happening to the country. We should hear them out, weigh their opinions, feel empathy for their plight, & then lean into their faces and scream "FUCK YOU!!!" as loudly as possible.

Being autistic doesn't make you a stupid racist POS.
Elon decided to be that, it's not a symptom.
Don't let them get away with slurring good and decent autistic people in a cynical attempt to save their own skins.
