🟠AI is easily the most American invention: nobody wants it, it befowls the earth to make and steals real work from other people, produces a shit product, and the only way anyone pays money for it is if they're tricked into it or forced into it
I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

The president is now attacking a US Olympian as a “Loser” and misrepresenting his words for his mild unspecified criticisms about things going on in the US right now.

My first grader (a US citizen) came home from school crying because a friend from class (also a US citizen) hasn’t been coming to school because his parents (one of whom is not a citizen) are afraid of ICE.

Gonzales on Liam Ramos and his family: "They're not gonna qualify for asylum. So what do you do with all the people that go through the process and do not qualify for asylum? You deport them. I understand that 5-year-old and it breaks my heart. I also think, what about that 5-year-old US citizen?"

The moderate position on AI is that anything made with AI should be labeled as such.
Here, she describes switching pen names so, if a reader figures out it’s AI and tries to boycott the “author,” they might unknowingly pick up one of her other books

What’s darkly funny is that there’s an old CIA manual about this, and how if enough people do it, it can destabilize a country. It’s still on their website right now after being declassified in 2008.

They are building a permanent system of nationwide concentration camps. Since immigrants are being deported the question might be who are those camps intended for? The answer is simple. Those camps are intended to hold tens of thousands of Americans who aren’t down with Dumpy’s dictatorship.
