Every parent of a child with special needs should be terrified right now

New York is the first state in the US to pass a bill requiring AI disclosures in news content

[bONGO 🌹 @wariocolosseum]

this is good !! now let’s enact this everywhere

How do you even read things like this and not want them GONE?

[Mary L Trump @MaryLTrump]

Donald had a temper tantrum on national television and walked out of an interview simply because Kristen Welker presented him with a basic fact.

Note to other journalists: now is the time to pile on. He won't be able to handle it.

I really believe if New Yorkers try their damnedest that they can boo him into leaving Madison square garden tomorrow

[Anthony Avon .Art @AnthonyAvonArt]

So stop it maybe? Who are you warning? I can't do anything, YOU are the UN.

[Reagan Gomez @ReaganGomez]

Is this what we want for our kids? Hell, is this how we want our billionaires leaders to talk about humanity? Humans have existed/discovered/learned just fine up until now. We do not just have to accept this dystopian future these folks are creating for us.

[Reezy Miller @Trixie_Boo]

I now believe this man is deeply, utterly stupid. Human intelligence isn’t just about processing data, or regurgitating facts. It’s the ability to reason, create and feel.

Honestly, I’m sick of these fucking robotic dickheads. Burn it all down 🔥

[Alex Veremeyenko @alex_verem]

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.

Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.

Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."

Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."

Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.

They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.

One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."

Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.

That's the metered intelligence business model.

And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas

[Jim Stewartson, Decelerationist 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇺🇸 @jimstewartson]

I will say this again. Elon Musk is pathologically, genocidally racist—it was drilled into him from birth. This has nothing to do with the Oscars. It’s about finding an excuse to generate hatred against Black people.

Remember his tirade against Somalis?
It led to ICE in Minneapolis and two dead protestors.

Remember how he gave Trump propaganda about “white genocide” in South Africa and shut off all refugees to the US except racist Boer farmers?

Remember how he deliberately shut off USAID food and drugs which led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Black kids?

STOP WONDERING.

He’s a full fledged, eugenicist Nazi who will use his power to kill millions more people. He will be worse than the original if we keep sanewashing his psychopathy, sadism, and misanthropy.

What Zohran Mamdani is doing is NOT EVEN SOCIALISM. You know what he's doing? He's showing what can be accomplished when the WEALTHY PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE OF TAXES.

[Secular Talk ([email protected]) @KyleKulinski]

The republican mind is amazing. Zohran has been in the news for:

- balancing the budget without cutting services
- raising taxes on the rich
- cracking down on shitty landlords
- freezing the rent
- universal childcare

what, exactly, is "lunatic" about that? This guy supports a war criminal pedophile rapist con man. That's actual "lunatic" shit.

[Globethotter 🌍 @BrianMcLight]

This is insane. And exactly what all of the wealthy people and corporations were terrified of. A politician proving you can enhance the quality of life for your constituents, by not taking away from the working class, rather taxing the rich.

See how socialistic views aren’t bad?

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

some Americans have literally been paying into Social Security for 50, 60 years; & this multi-billionaire from South Africa dismisses Social Security as a mere "entitlement"--not workers' actual pay, deferred.
cutting Social Security would be literally--not metaphorically: literally--stealing earned money from American citizens.
please let us hope that MAGA gets this news from some source other than Fox; otherwise, MAGA might agree to it without comprehending.
