i've been trying to see what the right wing platforms (even outside of X) are showing people regarding the protests in LA and i am not sure it can be overstated just how much the AI slop is being used to reinforce the idea that downtown is a post-apocalyptic war zone

"While climate misinformation has long been a concern, often mutating into full-blown conspiracy theories, the situation has deteriorated to such an extent that the term “misinformation” no longer reflects the scale, complexity, or urgency of the threat, much less points to potential solutions"

Please do not use this word in my presence or at all. Do not write it out. Do not spell. Do not whisper it.

After writing this, I had to face a court of whataboutist messages. As if I sat there on my sofa thinking of something spectacular to say. The tone policing is despicable.

I laughed so hard reading this. AI companies feed garbage to their tool and *gasps* can't figure out why garbage is coming out? Also the fact there are companies helping to deal with the problems created by AI hallucinations is hilarious to me, in a cynical and slightly unhinged way.

The newest and most powerful A.I. technologies — so-called reasoning systems from companies like OpenAI, Google and the Chinese start-up DeepSeek — are generating more errors, not fewer. As their math skills have notably improved, their handle on facts has gotten shakier.

"Studentski protest ne interveniše tako što nudi alternativu, već tako što ne pristaje. Njihovo odbijanje da se uklope, njihovo strpljenje koje se ne može instrumentalizovati, njihovo dugotrajno prisustvo, sve to funkcioniše kao raskid u kontinuitetu autoriteta."
