Do you think that all the episodes of all of the slight variant programming teaches us something new each time or does it teach us the same however many things over and over again?

The uselessness of the idea starts far lower down the ladder: even Superman does not have the time/ability/resources to fix _everyone_. It's unsustainable for the response to that impossibility to be inertia.

To be clear, this risk is so high on X because the platform is owned by a person who does not see CSAM as disqualifying behavior on the platform, let alone objectionable. He will try to profit from this. bsky.app/profile/lora...
more on the nightmarish situation on X where users are apparently generating non consenting pirnographic imagery & sexual images of minors (csam) using xAI’s Grok. Musk merged xAI and X (fka twitter) last year.

So, anti-immigration bollocks bookended by the flight of John Alcock and Arthur Brown (UK) and the Moon landings, built on the work of Wernher von Braun (Germany), Katherine Johnson (US, but whoops, segregation), and John Hodge, Francis Thomas Bacon, Keith Wright, Ian Dodd, and Tecwyn Roberts (UK)?
