Just for those who may be a little confused: This is how an American president should treat Putin.

Legal terms of service can be confusing. They often hold things you don't like, and were happier, not knowing. The WeTransfer ToS are no different.
Let me simplify it for you. If you upload a file onto the internet, regardless of type or purpose, you should assume it's going straight into an AI.

I'll never understand the point of posting bait or showing your ignorance, then blocking replies. Especially when the comment (like this one) is so intensely and obviously stupid. Do they know they are being rediculous and don't care, or are they ignorant? What do they hope to gain? Humans are odd.

1) it was always fascism and fascism was the right word to use
2) they are building concentration camps and concentration camps are the right words to use
3) they are banning books and book bans is a fine way to describe the myriad ways they are banning them

For fucks sake, can people that say AI is useless, please pull their head out of their ass? Denying reality will not help your cause. Yes, AI has and will cause a great deal of economic harm to people. Yes it makes mistakes sometimes.
But it works. And it works very well. That's why people use it.

There's people on here and other socials saying the US never learns its lesson regarding wars. Which is completely false. The US has learned very well from these and other conflicts. 2 x Iraq and 1 x Afghanistan wars cost the US less than 10,000 dead soldiers. Yet they killed close to a million ppl

There seems to be some confusion about how you increase profits by using AI. Here's how it works. Very simple.
Identify activity your staff do now and replace that activity with AI.
Then either replace some staff and keep the salary.
Or
Keep the staff, but sell more.
That's all there is to it.

The LA protests have given Trump exactly what he wanted. He's shown:
His willingness to deploy troops.
That the military will do what he asks.
That states can't stop him.
That democrats can't stop him, and republicans won't.
This entire thing is a huge win for him and the project 2025 crew.

This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking.
No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was *deliberately murdered* for being gay right after his dog was decapitated.
Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian."
THIS is why Pride is important.

If you're hoping the Democrats will fix problems caused by Trump, then look at what commitments they are making. Not their objections, speeches or moral outrage. What measurable commitments have the Democrats made to reverse the damage he is doing?

Systemic failings in government are not unique to the US. The last few months have done a great job of highlighting them, though. It's telling just how little power the government has to compel people to answer question's for instance. Take the confirmation hearing for Jared Isaacma, for example.

There's a lot of talk about the retrofit costs for Trumps 747 bribe. They could offset this by limiting it to US airspace etc. None of which addresses the security risks of taking a jet that a foreign country had full access to. How could you ever trust it wasn't riddled with surveillance equipment.

It's totally a coincidence and in no way related to free jets.

I think the whitehouse gave Trump some crayons to do the design for it propaganda site.
If you're going to pitch bullshit, you could at least try and make it presentable.

US news outlets need to stop reporting on court cases that Trump has lost. Start reporting on what court ruling the administration / agencies have agreed to follow.
The rulings are irrelevant if they are being ignored.

People and the press need to stop waving the polling data around. Trump doesn't give a fuck about the polling. 1) He's just going to lie and say everyone loves him. 2) You only need to care if you intend to be re-elected or care about your party. He doesn't, in either case.

There's a lot of "no king" commentary floating around, but people appear to have missed the point. Yes, a king is an unelected ruler, but it's much more than that. A king is seen as being above the regular citizen. They are special, respected, elevated. Your president, is just rebranded king.

Heres the problem @cnn.com you can't provide the public with accurate, honest reporting about Elon lying and destroying government institutions, when you're taking his money. He can't be your customer and a subject of criticism.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Stop worrying about how to stop fascism or the fall of democracy. Its already to late for that. Start thinking about how to remove it. You can't just vote it out. That's not how fascism works.
