Sounds like someone's having a little bit of buyer's remorse, huh? This is why you never drink the Kool-Aid

The shooting was definitely real. The furthest down this conspiracy rabbit hole that I'm willing to go is entertaining the idea that the bloodied ear could have possibly resulted from colliding with SS hip mounted service weapon when he was "tackled" for cover.

That said, no one needs to tell the conspiracy prone MAGA base any of this. He's spent at least the last decade and a half curating and exploiting the most conspiracy prone (nicest language I can use) people in this country into his following. He deserves worse than this bed he made.

Viktor fucking POS Orban steps down with more dignity after 16 years than our own home grown dictator wannabe did after 4. What a timeline to be alive in.

We need radical technical solutions, not incremental privacy policies that change nothing.

This overused: "It's not x, but y" giveaway is one of the most annoying AI ticks for me. I give them credit for actually using a colon instead of the em dash. Buy yeah, that's just about the only step they took to obfuscate their AI text

I mean, scanning a well known piece of literature which likely exists online in its entirety is an obvious way to generate a false positive. This doesn't mean that these tools can't be useful. You need to understand how to use them. When it's appropriate, what context, how much trust to attribute to it, and what other tools you might use along side it. At the end of the day, it's up to the human to be informed, critical, and to form reasonable suspicions or judgements. This isn't novel to AI use, but most tools.

According to most of the online "media" I've seen involving this dragon; I can confirm that both of those things are very true.

When it comes to activism, I've often said that, 'most people know the difference between a good vegan and a bad vegan'. Being insufferable, overbearing, or pushing discussions where they aren't needed or wanted does nothing to help your cause, it usually does the opposite. When you talk to most people who ascribe to a certain political, lifestyle, or activist way of life, you'll usually find that most of them are pretty normal and non-pervasive people; IE you may never even know those details without asking them. This goes for most things. Fitness enthusiast vs gym bro. Music/Media enjoyers vs gatekeepers. Activist who promote and provide good accurate information in a hands off way, vs those who push political messaging where it's not wanted. Be a good vegan.

I love how mask off they were in choosing Palantir as their dipshit company name. Like, "Yes, hello, you are now calling Anakin Skywalker's Daycare Service. Are you looking to enroll your child." Bet our political elite would love that one.

This is essentially how alcohol works in Brandon Sanderson's "The Stormlight Archive"

Nah, let's be honest. Immensely wealthy private companies foresee a potentially negative impact to profits if an event on the scale of the fucking Super Bowl is used as a dog and pony show/display of power by the current regime. Wealth is power, and when power talks, even authority listens.

True. I guess I'm just jaded enough that I hope for anything other than "zero consequences for the officer; plus he's still working as LEA somewhere" That shit's actually terrifying
