I’m fascinated that Star Trek addressed the question with Barclay in the 90s. And the main solution was that society as a whole considered it out of line and sent him to therapy.
Here most comments are “I’m not surprised” which is sad and terrifying.

This is a nuts story. An AI chatbot and image platform left millions of images exposed. They show what people are actually using the AI for: taking random women's yearbook, graduation, and social media photos and making super realistic hardcore porn with them

Just a reminder that Jamal Khashoggi was murdered because he was investigating (amongst other things) the fact that Jared Kushner allegedly was selling intelligence secrets to the Saudi Arabian government including the location of people disloyal to the Crown Prince
Which is HIGH TREASON

I think the President of the US responding to a question about the murder of a journalist with "A lot of people didn't like that gentleman" is probably pretty bad.

This thread is right. The point of DOGE was not what they *said* it was, but what they *did*. Steal all of our data. Destroy USAID. Profoundly destabilize civil service. Gain a competitive information advantage over both business and political rivals.
Don’t do this, you guys. The enormous pile of dead bodies, and small but still massive of dead careers, would point to the opposite being true: DOGE was a massive financial and political boon to Elon Musk and it paid off marvelously for him at horrendous cost.
DOGE is one of the greatest failures of the Trump administration. The next Democratic administration should pick up that issue and actually work to cut government waste, fraud, and abuse. I’d suggest starting by taking a look at Elon Musk’s government contracts.

Are we not even making our own disinformation? What happened to American manufacturing?
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.
