Seems to me this is leading to intellectual Darwinism - those without critical thinking skills who rely on AI to โ€œget aheadโ€ will get found out and left behind.

A sign - in Dorset - that says 'MILITARY FIRING RANGE', with a red line struck through somebody in big-heeled shoes who looks like he might be in a 1976 episode of the TV show Soul Train. In the distance, if you look hard, you can just make out a hat that I have dropped.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT PRACTICE YOUR 1970S DISCO STRUT ON THE MILITARY FIRING RANGE.

This is how you do wash trading. All these companies are investing in each other paying each other bits of the same trillion dollars in order to make it look like theyโ€™re so close to AGI so investors will keep giving them money to lose.

This is also known as a Junkieโ€™s promise.

I actually donโ€™t know how you solve the problem of people just refusing to believe sources that tell them the truth instead of ones that lie to them

I know this is obvious. And I know we all know this.
But if the President can raise taxes because an advert annoyed him, without even consulting Congress, then the US constitution is simply not functioning as intended.

WHO THE FUCK IS GOING TO STOP HIM? Why does ANYONE believe in the fucking rule of law anymore? Literally, laws only exist if we all agree they do, and if the fucking maniac in charge ignores them and NOBODY stops him, then we donโ€™t have laws.

An image of a list of the 27 grievances against King George III in the Declaration of Independence. Donald Trump's regime has committed at least 20 of them in whole or in part, condensed into the list below:

2.	He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation โ€ฆ
3.	He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing โ€ฆ his invasions on the rights of the people.
4.	He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; โ€ฆ obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners โ€ฆ
5.	He has obstructed the Administration of Justice โ€ฆ
6.	He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices โ€ฆ
7.	He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
8.	He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
9.	He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
10.	He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution โ€ฆ giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
11.	For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
12.	For protecting them โ€ฆ from punishment for any Murders which they should commit โ€ฆ
13.	For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
14.	For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
15.	For depriving us โ€ฆ of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
16.	For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
17.	For โ€ฆ abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
18.	He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
19.	He has โ€ฆ destroyed the lives of our people.

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain.

Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow.

Robin Williams' daughter, Zelda Williams, also recently slammed people who are making Al-generated videos of her late father, calling the clips "gross." She added, "To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop pup-peteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it."

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base donโ€™t even know thatโ€™s what it stands for.
