If you haven't been keeping up, Sen Schmitt tried to play gotcha with Jack Smith and it blew up in his face.

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

Zero, because my parents refused to buy me refill mixes. Had to make the ones that came with the oven last. Then was told "but you never play with it!" This, and many other minor traumas brought to you by a Gen X kid.

Meta's platforms have repeatedly been caught running ads for deepfake "nudify" apps that let you virtually undress real people without their consent, but they won't run an a trailer for an upcoming documentary that reflects poorly on Elon Musk. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

The Major Social Media Platforms Are All Rejecting Paid Ads for Alex Gibney’s ‘Musk’ (Exclusive)
YouTube, TikTok and Meta have all turned down the trailer for the Oct. 9 doc, citing “political” content. X won't even take Bleecker Street's calls. The distributor is appealing.

Ok, let's say it's mathematically "correct" to take the coin flip, otherwise you are acting emotionally. Let's multiply by a factor of 1000. You get a guaranteed 50M or a coin flip for 1B. What do they choose now? I bet they get pretty effing emotional about a coin flip away from losing 50 mill.

So, that’s the injustice that creative are pushing back against. It’s the theft of the work, to fuel the revolution that replaces them, while being told that they are now redundant, whilst simultaneously being asked to continue producing so that the models can grow.

From attorney Christopher Parente, whose firm represents one of the defendants seeing their charges dropped:
While I appreciate U.S. Attorney Boutros finally recognizing there is a credibility problem at his U.S. Attorney’s Office, make no mistake that he and others had advance knowledge of these issues for months and did nothing to “remediate” the problem when it became known to them and instead attempted to redact their way out of trouble.  I do not trust those whose first instinct is to hide the truth to design the process of remediating its wrongs.
