So why do I let AI in my house? Don’t I care about the environmental consequences? What about the theft of intellectual property? Don’t I understand that these are bullshit machines?
Yes, yes, yes, and yes.
It’s what I do all day long.
Yes, yes, yes, and yes.

Jack Posobiec is at Trump’s “Antifa roundtable” at the White House today. Last week we reported about Posobiec voting in a state he didn’t seem to live in.
SORTOR: I took this flag from the man that was burning it in the street
TRUMP: Do you know who he is?
SORTOR: Oh yeah
TRUMP: So why don't you give it to Pam. Give it to the attorney general and we'll start prosecutions

This is a REALLY good video that gets into the *specifics* of how AI is degrading our information environment and putting truth further out of reach for the average person / the population as a whole
I walked into the lounge last night to find my teenage son watching this. We have long admired @kurzgesagt.org and found their videos to be extremely illuminating. But this one in particular I think is so important right now!

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?
MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that
