Republicans were fine with and even supported authoritarian Latin American groups trafficking drugs to America when they sold them in black neighborhoods, but now rural West Virginia has a drug problem so the Constitution and UN Charter don’t matter anymore. What happened to just say no?

Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words.
But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.

Maybe this sounds hyperbolic, but the people who run our state are literal sulfuric demons from hell bent on increasing the stock of human suffering
ICE has posted a video of Santa Claus arresting immigrants. Your government is hijacking a symbol of charity to spread fear and hate. it’s up to all of us to defeat these twisted fascists.

Went to a convention and saw Clippy from Microsoft Word. He was signing autographs for 50 dollars and screaming at attendees to pay him if they tried to take a picture. He was really overweight. Watched a fan blow into his cars ignition interlock so he could drive home.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.
