This is what we should be spending money on instead of cops to brutalize people for the circumstances that make their lives harder.
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Jeffrey Epstein died on August 10th. In the Epstein files, there is what appears to be a draft DOJ press release announcing his death that is dated August 9th.

Yup. Also hear regular complaints from the kid whenever her classes or school uses images or anything that was clearly AI generated. The level of disdain these kids have for it gives me hope.
My kids & their friends say “that looks/sounds like AI” to mean shitty & fake/stupid. Really incredible to be inundated by “transformative AI“ discourse when the reality is so plainly the opposite.
The bosses are forcing their employees to use it. Politicians are competing to shovel money & infrastructure at it. The billionaires who control media are constantly lecturing & hectoring people to accept it & use it more.
They don't care it's losing money. They don't care people hate it.
