At this point, if you're not double-checking something produced by your AI tool of choice, it absolutely is your fault. It's no secret that these applications were trained on garbage.

There's plenty of evidence that social media is harmful to kids, teens, and adults. Several are referenced in this article: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/social-media-teens-mental-health

We also know that FB has used its platform to unknowingly run social experiments on users without their knowledge and helped the proliferation of misinformation to the tremendous detriment of our country and our people. With gen AI creating even more false information, it's imperative that governments crack down.

Social Media can and should be regulated just like any other objectionable form of speech.

Totally.

I was very impressed by Democrats' reaction when the Roe repeal was leaked.

They used it to raise money.

That alone is indicative of the fact that they're unsuited to govern.

Well, thank you for your perspective.

Have a nice weekend.

I don't think that's accurate.

I'm not the one gaslighting myself about Democratic governance or pretending that they actually did the things that they promised, and neither are the people who need better pay instead of memes.

When was the last time the minimum wage went up in this country?

Almost two decades ago, and 2/3 of the US states use that as the standard.

So yes, if you're poor or working class in this country, it doesn't matter much who we elect.

I don't think it matters much who we elect, at least if you're a member of the poor and working class. It will be interesting to see the stats on how many people don't bother voting this year.

Every time I hear stories like this it reminds me of the efforts Dubya and Cheney have made to rewrite history because they're associated with some of the worst people and decisions in American history. I don't believe for a moment that he wasn't just another yes man indulging Trump's nonsense.

There are so many high-profile assholes in this country named Eric.

A 100+ billion dollar valuation.

Absurd.

It's just as absurd as when WeWork got a 40 billion dollar valuation.

These VC's are insane and should be paying a high-as-fuck tax rate instead of having a bazillion dollars to drop on boondoggles.

That it does.

We still have to look at historical patterns and acknowledge that what a person claims to vote for is antithetical to what their party of choice is actually going to do.

Yes, it does. We may not like to consider that, but it's the truth.
