Don’t use AI.
ALL you have to do is just not use it, tell these companies you aren't using it, and make fun of people who do. We need a mass collective effort to make genAI extremely uncool, lame, embarrassing, cringe. Everyone needs to react to it with a MOUNTAIN of hostility until they run out of steam.

This isn't unstoppable. It's not inevitable. It's greedy, short-sighted anti-human solipsists that have been rewarded by crony capitalism to the point of being toxic toward society, who think they have the right. These are the same people that want to go to space, but only with the "right" people.

Boycott AI. For the future of the next generation if nothing else.
Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."

Contacted a friend to go for a drink the other day, he couldn't as he had an operation for cancer a month ago and is undergoing chemo.
He went to the doctor for something different, and a test showed he had cancer.

Important to remember that Enoch Burke is in trouble for failure to obey court orders. But when he refers to his cherished beliefs this is where those beliefs lead. So yes he and his beliefs can all get in the sea.
A trans teen in Iowa completed suicide after severe bullying by classmates and teachers.

I believe Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens have the pulse of the modern MAGA movement going forward.
You can laugh at them and dismiss them as cranks, but you have to pay attention to what they're selling.
This is what comes after Trump.

This is an accidentally honest answer. What she's saying in code is:

Q: What did the president mean when he called a reporter "piggy"?
LEAVITT: Look, the president is very frank & honest with everyone in this room. You'll all seen it yourself. You've all experienced it yourselves. And I think it's one of the many reasons the American people reelected this president

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.
