I have an idea for a social media platform - one that bans all AI. Images, videos, even slop text, ban it all. At a minimum, all content should have a badge of authenticity....i.e. does not contain AI.

This is gaslighting to an extreme level. He’s using taxpayer funds to pay his private militia. After Minneapolis we know laws don’t apply, this is sending the signal you’ll be handsomely rewarded for your insurrectionist behavior too.

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

My latest
@nytimes.com
oped shows that the White House is dramatically understating the cost of the war in Iran. By my calculations—and I show my work—this war will cost the typical American family thousands, and it could cost them tens of thousands. Gift link:

The fundamental issue with AI really boils down to just because you can doesn't mean you should, and I think a lot of people are going to figure this out sooner than later. Ultimately this kills the value proposition being pedaled to us today

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via
