GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

“He raped me.”
“Donald J Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.”
“She was found with her head ‘blown off’… there was no way it was a suicide.”
Now we’re starting to see why Trump was hiding the Epstein files, and it probably gets much worse.

This is some utter bullshit. They aren't able to control the narrative thanks to the free internet so they are short of calling the Internet a WMD in order to kill it.
The letter, signed by most of the S230 repeal bill sponsors, claims the following:
- S230 causes the grooming of US children and deepfake porn
- S230 means “drug traffickers are selling fentanyl-laced pills to teenagers”
- S230 caused body dysmorphia in youth
- S230 allows for terrorist recruitment

We’re at the point now where people are calling being anti-LLMs as “outrage” as a convenient way to characterise it as unreasonable, and it’s annoying. I’m not outraged, I’m repulsed. I don’t want your stolen shit. It’s gross. You are a fucking loser to me

Even though we work on KOSA everyday, we didn’t know what bills would be in last weeks’ markup until 48 hours before the hearing.
This is the strategy- ram bills through before the public has had time to know what’s going on.
But you can always count on us to sound the alarm 🚨

AI in games is identical to plagiarism in writing. Once someone is caught using it, it throws everything else they've done into question. Were those assets, concepts and effects really the work of that individual or something a machine came up with all along

the bit about how there's been "some pushback" "but i think at this point everyone at the company is more or less okay with it" paints a harrowing picture of a dipshit boss who tells everyone to put more ai art in their powerpoints and they just have to go "haha yeah sure maybe next time"

KOSA has been defeated several times already and they keep trying over and over until the one time it goes through, at which point it becomes everyone's problem. It will be an unmitigated disaster if this passes and they say, well, sorry, now it's the law. Make sure your creature votes No on this.
Hey romancelandia and fandom peeps! If you live in the U.S. right now you should know that KOSA (along with a slew of censorship bills) are advancing through congress right now. If you care about spicy books and/or fanfiction you should contact your reps right now and tell them to vote NO on KOSA!

Repealing Section 230 would chill free speech by allowing platforms, not users, to be held responsible for what its users say. Platforms will become much more censorious over what its users can post. This is extremely bad
