@elonmusk "AI is dangerous. I wish everyone would slow down... But since I can't trust everyone else to slow down, I can't slow down either.”
So nobody slows down.
It's a "prisoner's dilemma."
Individually rational decisions producing a collectively dangerous outcome...
More than 40 countries - Canada and its allies - have sanctions against Belarus for supporting war criminal Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
Buying blood potash from Belarus is supporting Russian aggression.
It’s wrong and it doesn’t make sense.
All of that potash has to be shipped first through Russia, then across the ocean, then across the US to mid-western farmers.
Does anyone believe Belarusian blood potash shipped through Russia is going to be more affordable, more sustainable or more ethical than potash shipped from Saskatchewan - right here in North America?
My guy, you blocked me now? This is too ironic.
Look, I get your point. CNN can still broadcast, publish, criticize the government, all of that. I’m not pretending they’ve literally been shut down.
What bothers me is the principle. If you accept that your government can decide a news organization is lying and restrict its access because of that, what’s the limiting principle?
Even if you trust this administration to use that power fairly, would you want every future administration to have that exact same power against reporting they decide is dishonest or misleading?
Holy shit! 😂 Are you arguing about whether the outlets are good or bad? Because that’s not my point.
Call CNN propaganda. Call Fox propaganda. Call all of them liars if you want. Criticize the press all day. You’re allowed to.
The question is whether the government should get to decide which news outlets are lying and then silence them.
That’s where the First Amendment comes in.
Nothing says free press quite like the government deciding who gets to qualify as press. 😏
@cryptojourneyrs FR tho. Pretty much rugged DAY 1 with the Trump memecoin, than Ivanka Memecoin. That set the tone for me.
Sadly still hodling tho. Big balls, small brain. Lol. 😉
@figanootz@Polymarket They can be press and still publish biased, misleading or even propagandistic material. Those things aren’t mutually exclusive. The uncomfortable part of a free press is that nobody gets appointed the official referee of truth.
FTR, I'm not loyal exclusively to one news source.

Bro, you say “liberal propaganda” like those views don’t represent tens of millions of Americans (they do). That’s the point. You SHOULDN'T get to stifle one side’s media because you think their views are bullshit, any more than "they" should get to stifle yours.
Everybody should get a voice, or else free speech just means speech the people in power approve of.
USA acting like an authoritarian government, controlling the narrative. Like the Chinese Communist Party. They exercise extensive control over news, online speech, and which political viewpoints can circulate widely. Media outlets receive coverage directives, politically sensitive content can be removed, and major foreign news and social media sites are blocked behind the “Great Firewall.” Or is this more the standard you want for USA?
This is one thing that makes @X very important for that world. It's a place where all views can be heard, whether you agree or disagree. Or would you also suggest @elonmusk turn this platform into one great big "circle jerk"?

@BernieSanders This is why I said what I said earlier. It’s bigger than whether you like CNN, FOX News, Breibart, NewsMax, MSNBC, (FILL IN THE BLANK). 👇

@grok Do Americans actually believe they own/control Greenland now? 😂
Greenland is still self-governing within the Kingdom of Denmark. The new deal gives the U.S. expanded military/security rights. It does not give the U.S. ownership or sovereignty over Greenland. 🤔
