Just to clarify, I'm not against all AI. But I would prefer to opt in to the use of AI for specific purposes rather than it be recklessly bundled into everything on the internet by default.

One small way to prevent unsolicited use of AI and save a bit of electricity is to set #DuckDuckGo as your default search engine and turn off the AI features in the settings. #OptOutOfAI

Amazing that it already knows of songs you haven't written yet. I reckon we would all enjoy Woyzeck.

Godwin's 2nd Law: If they start deporting innocent citizens to foreign prison camps, there's no further argument, therefore the 1st Law no longer applies.

Needs a bit more verification, but if true, the Trump anti-free speech agenda has just gone up yet another notch.

Is anyone checking whether there is any market movement before each of Trump's daily massive policy changes? It seems extremely unlikely that his friends and family aren't profiting from all this flip-flopping.

It's his only remaining option because Tesla's debt to revenue ratio is getting very close to non-viability (and he's too proud to quit, which is the only thing that will really save Tesla). So he's going to be bankrupt if the government don't bail him out.

Nah, there's freedom of speech and there's violence. A big "Swastikar" poster on the windows of every Tesla dealership is far more effective than smashing their windows.

Depends how anonymous you've managed to keep your "rant and rave" profiles. At this stage I don't think you need to declare them for them to be known.

Not going to help, they just need to look at your social media profiles.

Oh looks nice without all the temporary buildings they had last time I was there!

Yep, this is closer to the 1938 Munich Agreement that handed the Sudetenland to Hitler.

Every time one of these people use the word "woke" I want to remind them what it means. It infuriates me when even centrists start to adopt it, "yeah, perhaps Trudeau was a bit too woke".

It's not possible to be too woke. That's like saying "you're concentrating too much on flying this plane".

Turns out that when Vance was comparing Trump to Hitler, it was meant as a compliment.

The thing is, Bernie is 83. Everyone who's 83 is going to gripe sometimes. He should be an irrelevance in the liberal movement, a cuddly memory. But where is everybody? Where's the movement? I listen to countless liberal-leaning podcasts but where are the actions? It's baffling.

Exactly. And the best that can be done to end this is to use the filibuster and oppose every Trump bill. Why did 10 Democrats support him?

So which Senator is doing a better job at opposing the orange moron?

I was referring to the producer of the video, who define themselves as Leftist. But I maintain, choose your enemies. Sanders calls Israel's actions terrible and wants to prevent funding their military. Trump wants to displace every. single. Gazan. Why are you singling out Sanders and not Trump?

So the path ahead is clear. Trump can attach whatever he wants to a budget bill; an end to birthright, an end to 2 term limits, an end to an independent judiciary, an end to abortion, an end to democracy, and this guy won't vote against. What is the point of the Senate sitting any more?

Seems odd for a "leftist" to pick on Sanders when 10 other democrats have sided with a far right agenda. He may be cautious about using the word genocide - which is a matter for international courts - but compared to proposing turning Gaza into Gaz-a-Lago? Pick your enemy.

This is just wild.

Truth Social is still going, I guess?

It’s amazing to find out at this late date how much the rule of law depended on people simply deciding, on a voluntary, daily basis, not to break the law.

The shade to only grant Canada a single state rather than 13, so like Wyoming's 600000 people would have the same number of senators as 40 million Canadians.

So now Musk wants to eliminate "entitlements" like social security and healthcare for the poor. In other words, safety nets.

You know what else is an entitlement? To vote. That'll be the next inconvenience to eliminate. Since his family prospered so much through apartheit, he'll be used to that.
