it's unnecessary, unregulated, and every use lines the pockets of the creeps who do not care about 200k+ csam being created by their very platforms

"theres plenty of worse uses for chat gpt"

all uses of chat gpt contribute to the poisoning of environments, people, feeding an amalgam machine that steals art and ruins the clean water we have.

I had no wish for him to be murdered, but I’ll harshly judge anyone who flies their flag at half staff for that hateful extremist or talks about honoring his memory. There was no honor in his life.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

Moskowitz on Mike Johnson: "If he was lying then, is he lying now? ... I don't think in the history of this country we've had a Speaker of the House say the president was an FBI informant ... we need to hear from the FBI."

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment.

Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

Governor Polis Orders Flags to Half-Staff to Honor the Anniversary of September 11th and the Passing of Charlie Kirk

The president went on TV to attack political opponents and blame them for the killing of Charlie Kirk, even though we don’t know who shot him.

If there is anything this man can do to worsen the situation, he will do it. Despicable.

fascists always act shocked when the people have had enough....idk what else they'd expect to happen. but even then i could see the government killing him just to make a martyr out of him. the equipment needed to take a shot that far would have to be military grade

XRYXIX @xryxix.bsky.social · 28d

do i hate how vitriolic the political landscape is? yes
do I feel folks need to talk w each other and be a genuine community? yes
but he has blood on his hands, they all do with all the inhumane shit they support. they called for marginalizations, grooming, and violence and it begets more violence

if charlie kirk didn't get shot the right wing would be equally and as consequentially as mad about a tv commercial or restaurant logo or something else, they're gonna do what they're gonna do regardless

UK, Australia and maybe some other countries have passed legislation to restrict under 16’s from social media, including YouTube. YouTube is trialing age verification methods today because of this

sources on this

YouTube is gonna slowly roll out a feature that uses AI to guess the ages of its users. If it guesses you're under 18, it's gonna give your account age-appropriate restrictions. If the AI incorrectly restricted your account, then you can use your ID to prove your age.

Extending our built-in protections to more teens on YouTube

We're extending our existing built-in protections to more US teens on YouTube, using machine learning age estimation.

I tested AI chatbots with history facts. They spewed a lot of bullshit.

Why AI Shouldn't Replace Historians Anytime Soon

A recent study found that AI has put a target on historians' backs. We put several chatbots to the test.

After gutting the funding for PBS, the White House is now partnering with PragerU, the right-wing YouTube empire spreading conservative misinformation.

As Mark Oppenheimer wrote in 2018, at PragerU, police are not biased against black men, and man-made climate change is debatable.

Inside the right-wing YouTube empire that's quietly turning millennials into conservatives

The viral videos from Dennis Prager's "university" have clocked more than 1 billion views.

There is no crime problem…

“Crime” is a response to a problem

The problem is poverty…

The problem is inequity

when the right say 'crime' they mean 'the presence of groups of people we're bigoted against,' they don't care about the actual stats

NEW: In June, ProPublica reported that the FDA has given more than 20 foreign factories a special pass to send drugs to the U.S. even though they were made at plants the agency had banned.

Today, we’re publishing a list of those exempted drugs.
