Gen AI is a sycophantic technology.
Executives across all industries are obsessed with Gen AI.

I've been surprisingly restrained with making trans girl memes, so far in my transition, even though making memes is like my love language.
So here's one, in honour of fall starting properly.

So, I don't think it's great that the late-night host responses l to the Kimmel thing was to make a version of the same joke by mockingly "acquiescing" to Trump by praising him.
The fascists don't care. They can't tell sarcasm. Mock surrender to censorship is still surrender to censorship.

Megyn Kelly says it best, MAGA got so upset that an educated Black man became president that they’ve chosen to destroy all that makes America great and want it to become a white ethnostate to ensure it never happens again.
Everything happening today is because Obama was a successful president.

I recognize that "follow != endorse" but 50 is still disheartening.
DHH has gone from arbitrary "I just want to focus on running a company not solving every DEI world issue" concerns to railing against non-white immigration & now gender ideology grooming talking points.
Enough. Forget this fool.
