The UK, Canada & Australia are reportedly in talks about potentially banning Twitter/X over Grok’s AI image generation, per The Telegraph.
Ministers believe a joint move would send a “powerful message” to Elon Musk.

There are some 20-30k ICE agents. There are approximately 250 million adults in the United States. The idea that we are helpless...is the biggest load of bullshit mindset one can have.

Here's the thing. Violence isn’t required, because autocracy depends on compliance...not force alone. When people withdraw consent through mass noncooperation, institutions holding, and legitimacy collapse, power evaporates. History shows regimes fall when obedience stops, not when bloodshed starts.

"Idea Guys" are so accustomed to only knowing how to come up with stuff they don't seem to grasp that's not the hard part of being creative. I can fill a double two-page spread with thumbnails or written brainstorming in an afternoon.
The hard (and rewarding) part is the execution.

The UK, Canada and Australia are considering banning X.
And yet, the progressive movement and Democratic Party still haven’t figured out how to boycott it.

like last time (about crypto), pretty sure the discord survey about AI integration is something they'll use to show their shareholders to prove it's a bad investment. otherwise they wouldn't have had those super negative responses as choices.
you should still be overwhelmingly mean about it though.

I think one of the great realizations folks need to have is that today the cause of liberty and the cause of tyranny are both global. We rise and fall together.
I hope the Iranians achieve their liberty. I hope we defend ours.

Last night in Tehran. We don’t need that many nights like this for the regime to fall. One or two could finish the job.

This brought out a bunch of doomers "...but! but!"-ing with all of the obstacles facing a pro-democracy movement in the USA, but I think it is worth thinking about the question from the other side.
What does MAGA need to do to do (not how, just what) to hold power long-term? Are they doing it?

This was written three months ago. The economy is worse now, Trump is more doddering and unpopular, and ICE actions have stolid midwesterners dropping the F-bomb and protesting.

Any studio that says they're only using their own assets for an A.I. model is lying to you, likely intentionally.
Generative A.I. models require an insane amount of existing work to create anything that looks new and decent. Categorizing said data would take years.

This is simply not technically possible. You cannot generate enough writing in-house to train an LLM. You cannot generate enough art in-house to train a GAN. People who think they have a model "trained on our own material" are using a base model of mass-scraped data, unknowingly or disingenuously.
