This is much more than a question of authenticity. What we see is the weaponisation of AI to discredit non-white intellect. There is an agenda behind this. Just look at the media circus. The witch hunt against Thélyson Orélien was sparked by a "random" X post.

ICE has abducted Senegalese WBB player Aminata Seck and won't release her. DHS 'policy' is to provide medical care to prisoners at intake, yet they admit to denying her care for an ACL injury for 1.5 months. The NCAA is letting it happen, despite its predatory recruitment of ICAs. We explain.

ICE has abducted a college athlete. What are the NCAA and universities going to do about it?
Aminata Seck’s detention shows the bargain facing international college athletes: universities eagerly recruit them, but support can disappear when their immigration status becomes precarious.

I think the "debate" about bringing iced coffee to job interviews is effective at distracting people from the really bad job market, the high unemployment rate for Black women, ongoing mass layoffs in tech and media, and how Gen Z workers are refusing to adopt many toxic aspects of corp work culture

This is state-mandated book banning being perpetuated here. It is the Dan Patrick level "we're going to downgrade your school" banning from Texas, but in Florida. Thousands of books will be removed, and you'll probably never know about it.
