This is the email just received by IMLS staffers placing them on paid administrative leave for up to 90 days.

I don't have a full review of Why We Fear AI: On the Interpretation of Nightmares by @hagenblix.bsky.social and Ingeborg Glimmer, but I thought it was a thought-provoking addition to the conversation on the ethical concerns of AI. Worth checking out!

It's a common tactic of those, like him, who perpetuate fear of the "other." Ask me how I know.
Also: Accusations are often confessions with them. Pendejo Anaranjado's been held civilly liable for r**e, and he surrounds himself with people who have done similar.

History is not just a random collection of stories that we learn from or try not to repeat.
History is how we got where we are. History is a series of causes and effects.
Knowing the causes of bad things helps us to fix or prevent them. Knowing the causes of good things keeps us from losing them.

Today it ended when the most corrupt cop in history took his life.
But it's not over.
