I've given many warnings about AI. Unfortunately, I don't have Werner Herzog's voice (though I do a good impression). However, Werner is on Conan's podcast today warning about the dangers of AI and other tech issues. It's very good

As a midwesterner who never visits Washington, DC, I voted for Trump because I wanted higher food prices and greater cleanliness in our nation’s capital. I wanted to see the nonexistent DC crime wave eradicated while watching my meemaw lose her health insurance and access to lifesaving vaccines. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Yeah JD, we remember. We will never forget your boss was best friends with the guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring.

And then that guy was "silenced" forever.

And now we will just not talk about anything else until they...

Yeah so throwing dildos at women athletes on the court is an actual example of gender-based violence against women in sportsβ€”one that transphobes and acquiescent Dems will surely make 1000% less noise about

This morning, ICE rolled into a Home Depot parking lot using a moving truck loaded w/agents, like a Trojan horse, to snatch up Latino workers. Whoever they could find. No idea if they were undocumented or not.

That’s not enforcement. That’s racial profiling, and violates a standing court order.

If he builds his golden ballroom, how soon can it be torn down?

Indeed, let’s remember many of these heinous acts can be overturned. None of this despicable demolition of our government and values is unchangeable. But it requires ending his lawless regime & returning power to responsible leaders.
