A striking thing about articles I’ve read claiming to “study the effects” of generative AI on student writing skills and consumption of information is that (1) they nearly always find the effects are negative and (2) most “conclusions” are still written assuming that we must use AI, for some reason.

Explain to me again how the Republicans "accept the gays" now and they are "only going after trans people" 🙄

This MAGA pyscho ran these girls down at 70 mph.

This is Trump's America, where sniper units are now aimed at ICE protestors, children are being dragged out naked and zipped tied, and people getting murdered in the name of Kirk.

What's next?

Just look at history.

No violent protests are happening in Portland. That's it. That's the tweet.

Wait, so you're telling us *US* models echo Chinese Communist Party narratives *1/4* as much as Chinese models? Lol.

This is such BS fearmongering.

But the thing is, even if no one believes this, they're still going to act as if most Americans think this is true and ban DeepSeek.

This is the sort of trash the Trump administration is now 'communicating'.

‘We can do things during the shutdown that are irreversible, that are bad for them and irreversible by them, like cutting vast numbers of people out, cutting things that they like, cutting programmes that they like,’ Trump said, adding that ‘a lot of good’ can come from government shutdowns.'

Also, I imagine you shan't be counting the dissidents who are disappeared for disobeying "laws" that are passed by decree of the dictator, and how many of their family members are also disappeared in the process of securing compliance. Most of this isn't reported-- guess who controls the reporting?

^The same question was asked shortly before the killings started in every other dictatorship. Can we not follow this pattern this time? thanks.

It would be way better if it weren't dominated by opinions from like 3 countries.

Stop blithely saying "dictatorships always fail" as if they're just a spot of bad weather.

Dictatorships don't fail to murder millions of people.

It's not insane, it's a rational response.

Stop saying that they're "flooding the public with disinformation".

They've graduated.

They are now plainly controlling information and silencing dissent by threat of force.
