AI is nowhere near “thinking” and replicating human intelligence. Skynet is not about to become self-aware. The harm is what AI gets WRONG, especially surveillance, and polluting our information ecosystem, creating hell in all of our lives as we try constantly to rectify AI mistakes done to us.

This is so so so so corrupt. Why any institution is willing to negotiate is beyond me — why anyone thinks they can make a real deal is baffling. It’s corruption all the way down.

The targeted attack on Minnesota state lawmakers, Sen. John Hoffman and Rep. Melissa Hortman, is absolutely horrific.
Violence like this has no place in a democracy.
I’m praying for their healing, their families, and every public servant who has to wonder if doing their job makes them a target.

Powerful statement by Sen. Alex Padilla.
Please notice that anytime senators or representatives try to conduct oversight, they’re blocked.
In this case, a sitting US senator was tackled to the ground and handcuffed—for asking a question.
Where the hell has Chuck Schumer been on this?

Asked about a Dem response to a Rep. Nadler aide being handcuffed by DHS agents inside his congressional office —
@RepJeffries: “We will respond in a time, place, and manner of our choosing… it will be continuous and it will meet the moment.”

AOC to Walz: We are talking about individuals who cheered the pardoning of people who attacked the U.S. Capitol while flying the Nazi flag and the Confederate flag
And they want to act offended because someone has the courage to say: if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, maybe it’s a duck.

Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."

Q: The president said that if he were Tom Homan he would arrest Gavin Newsom. Do you believe Newsom should face consequences in a legal way?
MIKE JOHNSON: Um, that's not my lane. I'm not gonna give you legal analysis on whether Gavin Newsom should be arrested. But he ought to be tar and feathered.

New in PN: ABC is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller
"Miller and Trump are hateful bigots. Independent journalists can still say that. Journalists at ABC can’t, because the president gets a veto over their coverage. That’s not democracy and it’s not a free press. It’s fascism."
