My gut feeling right now is that once we get past this AI LLM boom and bust cycle, the skill of knowing how to have an imagination and how to create stories with your own human skill will be even more valuable than before. I would spend this time learning how to do everything you can to nurture that

Meta explicitly enabled its chat bots to engage in sexually explicit chats with young children.

This company is fundamentally evil.

arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

This screenshot claims that a Reuters investigation revealed Meta allowed its chatbots to engage in “sensual” chats with minors, according to an internal document titled "GenAI: Content Risk Standards." It alleges that the document included examples of permissible chatbot behavior involving romantic engagement with kids, and that CEO Mark Zuckerberg pushed for more engaging chatbot interactions after finding cautious designs “boring.”

A rock in a parking lot median in Aurora, Colorado is jumping out in front of cars, trucks, even an ambulance. Who will stop this menace?

Issue-specific targeted checkpoints like DUI checkpoints can be constitutional, but a generalized roust-everyone-for-anything checkpoints are definitely not. There may be an exception for a special purpose to help a career sex pest and rapist evade attention to his connection to a serial pedophile.

Situation on 14th St and W St. NW, with federal agents -- no specific agency identified -- pulling cars over for checks. They arrested a Black woman in this car.

BIG crowd of people shouting at police.

"Fuck you!"

"What is wrong with you!"

"You don't need to terrorize people like this!"

I linked it because it provides the links to each arrest and I can’t link them all here. I’ve tried repeatedly. A lot of my followers want the sources. Try being nicer next time, Elaine.
