Eery reading this. Like when the internet first came around and trying to understand how to keep safe.
An A.I. chatbot is like a “distorted mirror,” said Dr. Matthew Nour, a psychiatrist and A.I. researcher at Oxford University. You think you’re getting a neutral perspective, he added, but the model is reflecting your own thoughts back. Here’s how you can use the chatbots safely.

This is a bribe to a mob boss running a corrupt protection racket. Nothing more.

Even the creator of the universe gave people free will.

If a literal human desired to be idolized, i wouldn’t think the favorable approach would be to ban/imprison/threaten/sue those who disagree. What kind of tasteless person would find false praise attractive?

To what end?

America isn’t a game of who can freeload the quickest.

Even if I was a billionaire, heck even a millionaire, I wouldn’t want the BBB to pass and pay less than working Americans or take away needed healthcare or increase taxes and hardships for those under me.

Receipts for her purported “support.”

When I was in the Christian church, there were so many sermons and leaders who said, "I may not agree with someone's beliefs/ lifestyles/POVs, but I'll fight like hell so they are free to say it."

Where are those leaders
today?

Am I too far outside the DC elite to give any weight to the Kennedy Center itself? It’s been nice admins of late have recognized culture, but it’s not like artistry around the country receive its approval. Artists today retain nearly all their individual impact. Watch the 2025 Grammys!
Commentary: The battle for America's future won’t just be won or lost at the ballot box, but on screens, at concert venues, and at cultural institutions.

The Russian strike on the protective sarcophagus at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant is not accidental - it is symbolic.

The installation of Chornobyl New Safe Confinement was a unique event in the history of nuclear power safety in the world.

If there’s one thing this #FireAid concert is highlighting, is: the world needs to be reminded of all the great art and artists living among us. Music heals, and bring us together — what the world needs now, more than ever.
