Too many people (including my boss) seem to think AI is a magic oracle that can replace the whole messy business of ever investigating even the tiniest thing. It’s astonishing how many people were apparently just waiting for the first chance to give up on doing anything at all for themselves.
Some people are smart enough to be a lawyer yet still really fucking stupid.
How like your wife does she need to be?
I also doubt ChatGPT is just going to say “vote Republican”.
Propaganda is usually far more subtle than that. You can gently color the way the issues are framed, choose what to present as the important questions and deciding factors, omit to mention certain evidence or arguments, describe some candidates in appealing terms and others less appealingly, etc. All it needs to do is nudge some of the questioners a little to the right, not overtly or dramatically, but just enough to tip the votes statistically just a little bit towards the Republicans.
Well the tech CEOs are doing very well for themselves, governments are finding it easier to suppress dissent than ever, and corporations have a ready excuse for firing more people and paying the rest less. Those are the benefits.
He didn’t say they’re benefits for us. There are plenty of benefits for Sam. And we’re a sacrifice he’s willing to make.
And the LLMs trained and operated by companies whose leaders are unscrupulous fascists, and who pander to Trump for the sake of favors. It’s naive to assume they’re giving unbiased answers.
Unfortunately the wealthy have convinced the ignorant that it is the poors stealing everything.
It won’t be the churches that most need to close. The quiet little church that feeds the local homeless people will close while the Trumpist evangelical megachurches with the hate-spreading, abusive, grifter pastors will be fine.
Ah, but can he go top-floor window? He needs to show us his powers.
Trump’s people aren’t even admitting that the USA started this war. They seem to be trying to build a narrative in which the USA is simply defending itself from Iran’s attacks. The fact that the USA attacked Iran first is no longer considered a fact.
What? A real man like RFK eats his roadkill right off the hot asphalt, using only his face.
Canada sits quietly, not interrupting them…
“A board loaded with defense contractors and one draft-dodging war hawk will decide the future of the US military,” said one observer. “What could possibly go wrong?”
It’s OK though: they’re overseen by a drunken TV host, and he’s overseen by a senile pedophile rapist, and in any case all the big policy decisions are made by the zombie-eyed, hairless, friendless Nazi lurking in the shadows.
They should probably investigate RFK Jr too.
“If you kill Americans, if you threaten Americans anywhere on Earth, we will hunt you down without apology and without hesitation and we will kill you,” Hegseth says.
But also:
US Senate blocks resolution seeking report on Americans killed in West Bank
Hegseth’s rule is very selectively applied.
And how many Americans was Iran killing before the USA and Israel started bombing Iranian cities and killing Iranian schoolchildren?
According to Wikipedia about 20 US soldiers have been killed in this war, compared to almost 4000 Iranians, about half of them civilians:

Does anyone believe him?
That’s kind of the whole problem with AI in every domain: it can save you time if you let it churn out unchecked garbage, but if you check its outputs it won’t save you time and you’d have been better doing the work yourself. It’s still not clear whether there’s any room for actual value in between these.
