I simply think that people this soft should not be allowed to carry a gun

If Moderna is no longer bringing vaccine trials for Epstein-Barr virus (good evidence that EB causes Multiple Sclerosis), herpes, and shingles because of Trump appointees, I want prison time for those appointees.
This might be dooming millions to disease they don’t have to experience.

“The Constitution does not permit the government to arrest thousands of individuals and then disregard their constitutional rights because it would be too challenging to honor those rights.”
BREAKING: Judge Nancy Brasel, a Trump appointee, has issued a TRO in the Minnesota access-to-counsel case about treatment at Whipple.
"It appears that in planning for Operation Metro Surge, the government failed to plan for the constitutional rights of its civil detainees."

Great, must-read thread!
I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."
That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

To try to improve AI, corporations need ever more training data, so they're forcing everyone to beta test half-baked AI everywhere in everything so we can improve it for free.
They'd rather PR-fight the resentment than pay the cost of sourcing data. Penny-wise but pound-foolish.

Sometimes I wonder if the "AI in everything whether it needs it or not" crowd understands that they are the ones poisoning the well when it comes to sensible applications of AI.
Why do people hate ai? It’s a mystery for the ages.
