In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

Interesting thought experiment: would Hitler have succeeded in completely dismantling Germany as a liberal democracy if, in 1933, all Germans suddenly realized he was a serial pedophile? 🤔

Something that often gets lost in this tragic situation is that it's not JUST ChatGPT that's responsible here. It's the rhetoric of every tech giant telling the world that AI is an all-powerful entity capable of the most complex thought and analysis. That plays into how seriously people take it. 1/2
Six people died from tampered Tylenol and the company pulled 30 million bottles off the market. ChatGPT is accused of urging seven people towards suicide, and OpenAI just assures us they’re still working out the kinks. Billions in investment, zero accountability.

Mind-blowing stuff from Robby Soave.
"Podcasters should not avoid Fuentes." Of course they should. Deplatforming Nazis is good. Not amplifying them is not censorship.
Also laughable to claim Fuentes has been deplatformed. His growing reach is directly tied to MAGA destigmatizing naked racism.
