Here in Colorado, legislators from both parties are trying to grant AI companies immunity from consumer protection lawsuits.
Like immunity for gun manufacturers.
Politicians will be bought off by all these tech bros as their products continue to kill us.

I've been talking about exactly this happening since 2015, when I was trying to prevent him from becoming president, & I am far from the most intelligent or educated historians & social scientists amongst us.

No predictive model could foresee this degree of national self-sabotage – an act of willful decline that transcends political theory.

Andrew Cuomo sexually abused more than a dozen women. If that alone is not enough to disqualify him from ever again holding elected office—if the conversation even continues past that—the speaker (outlet) is saying it's OK to sexually abuse women.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.
Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.

This wasn't just confusion or mismanagement. CMS/HHS set out very clear rules about how Covid was meant to be handled in congregate care facilities, and Cuomo allowed those rules to be violated across New York with impunity because the lives of people in those facilities were entirely disregarded.
We haven't forgotten how #AndrewCuomo endangered nursing home residents & lied about it. Listen to Var, a disabled New Yorker and nursing home resident, talk about getting sick & losing friends to COVID as a direct result of Cuomo's chaotic & cruel policies. #DontRankCuomo

I remember once upon a time someone explaining to me that violence against women wasn’t included in the hate crime definition because it was too common and too many people would be charged with it.
This is a similar mindset. The entire CULTURE is a warning.

This is continued journalistic malpractice from the @startribune.com normalizing a violent white male suspect. He owned a private security company called Praetorian Guard, traveled overseas to preach against abortion and LGBTQ+ people, and attended a bible college that preaches "violent prayer."
Suspect showed few signs of political extremism before lawmaker shootings
Friends and associates say Vance Boelter, who was apprehended late Sunday and charged with murdering a state lawmaker and her husband, was mild-mannered and did not appear to be fixated on politics.
