Tepid take: In less than a century, Americans went from punching Nazis to mourning their deaths.

Every LLM exhibits the behavior of a child prodigy with abusive parents: Makes up stuff, afraid to disagree, easily confused, yet can help you write a story or code an app.

This is available for public use - no training required. It may be the most irresponsible technology since "the algorithm".

Thanks for following me. I still lurk occasionally, but I have seen a noticeable and concerning level of cognitive decline in online spaces as a whole. I'm choosing to disengage and practice social distancing.

I told you we’d be back

"Washington has become the court of Nero: an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers, and a buffoon on ketamine tasked with purging the Civil Service. This is a tragedy for the free world, but above all, it is a tragedy for the United States." - French Senator Claude Malheuret

The "good guy" billionaires and wealthy politicians aren't going to help you.

Yelling at clouds? Easy peasy.

But actually fighting each other?

PUBLICLY?

Using their money and clout to run an *unprecedented* media campaign to counter rampant disinformation and fascism?

Apparently some Trump supporters "believe" he's trolling everyone. That he's joking, doesn't truly mean what he's doing or saying.

This is how disinformation spreads.

We the people of the United States, ask the bravest among us - those with a very particular set of skills - to promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty.

To ourselves, and our posterity.

Against all enemies, both foreign and domestic.

And that's all I have to say about that.

Even the most disturbing RFK Jr. headline always manages to have a detail inside creepier than you could have imagined. I’m sorry, did you just say Black kids should have a chance to get “re-parented”???? Gift link wapo.st/4hW2xGI

Ever wonder what it'd be like to see a football (soccer) player play American football? That's our government right now. Dems are out there playing a COMPLETELY different game, getting clobbered, and are upset about losing - but not enough to take a break and learn to play the Right game first.

These (almost) two weeks have been the longest years of my life

Is there a particular reason why there isn't a "block user" option immediately available on replies? I have to leave the conversation, click the person's profile, then block them, then try to find my way back to where I left off. That's kinda strange.

I'm wondering how long it'll take for the Russian disinformation trolls to show up here, too.

A great Reddit post: "You're being targeted by disinformation networks that are vastly more effective than you realize. And they're making you more hateful and depressed." www.reddit.com/r/self/comme...
