Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words.
But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.

Starting November 1st, SNAP benefits are being cut, leaving millions of people with limited or no access to food.
If you are able to help, help. Food banks also take cash donations, which allow them to fill the banks with what they know is most needed.

For the wealth class to continue hoarding and consolidating resources it requires fascism.
The wealth class owns all corporate media, so the coverage normalizes fascism while vilifying even the most moderate reform or change.
That’s it. That’s the game.

“Every parade has a right to exist” is the perfect encapsulation of this political moment. Nothing will come close to capturing it quite this cleanly.

Yeah. I think we need to get more old school and more woke at the same time. Like, we should do more representation and doing it well requires actually reading a book about history and culture at some point.
