@Support My other X account, that I have had since October 2008, has been hacked and taken over by someone else and had the email and phone number changed. The emails warning me about it went to Spam and I only just now have seen them, so the recovery links are expired.
This is incredibly reductive. Different people โhateโ or have great concern about AI for different reasons. Some might have a very simple understanding of what is happening and may form very knee-jerk fear responses to it. Many others, myself included, have spent years trying to understand the capabilities of AI, how and when they will manifest, and what that ultimately means for the world writ large.
There is no doubt that it will begin to enable us as humans to create and discover new, absolutely mind-blowing things. Breakthroughs in medicine, science, communication, law, transportation, food, etc are already beginning to roll out and show promise. Moreover, Iโm a firm believer that we cannot stop progress, we can only hope to guide it.
But therein lies the rub. WHO is guiding it? And for that matter, to what ends? These are questions that give me great pause when I consider just how benevolent a force AI will be in this world. Electricity in the hands of evildoers poses no real threat to the people. AI, on the other hand, poses the highest risk possible when wielded by those who wish us ill.
I believe the light wins, no matter what, at the end of it all. But also, I believe we may be headed down a long, dark tunnel before we get there. ๐
The DOJ has ONE WEEK left to charge Anthony Fauci for the worst cover-up in modern medical history.
He lied to Congress about funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan. Millions died. Trillions were spent. And Fauci walked away with book deals and fawning media coverage instead of handcuffs. I re-upped my criminal referral to the DOJ because the evidence is overwhelming, and justice has been delayed long enough.
RT if youโre ready to see Fauci behind bars.
Arnold Schwarzenegger shocks The View when asked about condemning ICE,
โIโm an immigrant, but you have to do things legally. You are a guest in America. You must give back.โ
@willdone@ThatEricAlper I refuse to watch ANY movie where the dog dies. Turned off Aging Adaline when her dog started to go, haven't seen Marley & Me, John Wick, Frankenweenie... I just can't do it.
(I have seen All Dogs Go to Heaven, but I was a kid, and they kind of don't die in that!)
@ThatEricAlper I avoid the majority of disturbing movies, but the first that comes to mind is Deliverance. I walked out of the room, nauseous, after the "piggy" scene, and did not keep watching.
I have never seen a Rob Zombie movie, or Requiem for a Dream, or Grave of the Fireflies...
Eric Swalwell just said his number one job as California governor would be to โfight Trump.โ
How disgusting. My number one job will be to clean up the mess created by Democrats.
The Trump voting libertarians saw this momentum shift first and tried to warn MAGA it was coming and caught hell for ringing the alarm.
We might be well known for less than stellar candidates in the LP, but we are good at seeing through the bs and predicting the future.
Please lay off Massie, arrest the Covid cabal, release the Epstein case, focus on $38 Trillion in debt, and end foreign aid.
Wishful thinking, I knowโฆ but this is how to turn it around.
This is the final line! "If the gov't can make you inject something into your body that you don't want, then there is nothing the government cannot do to you. This is the final line." -@RobSchneider
Newsom keeps yapping about the PRIVATELY FUNDED White House construction because he doesn't want you to remember that he approved $1.1 BILLION in taxpayer dollars for bloated improvements at the California State Capitol, or that he let THOUSANDS of homes burn to the ground in California this year. Stop chasing Gavin's squirrels! Donโt fall for his tricks!
We have some of the worst politicians here in California. Sadly, Katie Porter is closer to the norm. Most fail upwards. They just jump from one political position to the next. They only care about personal power. You can never get rid of them. Prop 50 will just make it easier for the worst to keep getting elected here in CA.
How about actually voting for the person, not the party? How about researching a proposition instead of just reading the title or following what a commercial or mailer tells you to do? Local & state elections affect you and your family so much more than national elections. Every single thing in life isnโt about Trump.
Doesnt every Californian deserve public safety? Donโt we all deserve affordable homes & the ability to purchase affordable homeowners insurance to raise our families in safety? Everyone deserves good roads, safe public transportation, good jobs and really good schools for our children.
If you donโt care about the safety of a voter because he or she just isnโt in your political party, then you donโt deserve to represent all of us. Weโve had 15 years of really bad governance here in CA. If you want more of the same, keep voting for those Katie Porters. If you want things to actually get better, how about just voting for a good candidate who has integrity and actually cares.
@FiveTimesAugust It's wild. Saw that a bookstore that was holding author events with over 100 people squeezed into a small space almost daily still required masks for those attending... I was not even a little shocked that it was in eastern Portland, OR.
