This. This is important. They’re hoping fear will hold us back because they don’t have the numbers. But it will make us stronger. It will bring people out.

Factually: a) Whatever he "meant", he picked cities he doesn't like to be theoretically destroyed b) he didn't seem remotely upset at the thought of their destruction or mind when people CLAPPED for it, & c) if it wasn't a threat, he can no longer express himself coherently enough to be understood.

This whole thread was super helpful to me in understanding my personal antipathy to AI. There's so much BS swirling around - it's easy to get the 3 issues described confused, but I think this gets to the essence of why people like me just flat out refuse to use it while understanding what it can do.

Cornell expelled students who were protesting genocide in Gaza, but made five of seven guys who gang raped a drugged girl for seven hours write essays. That tells you EVERYTHING you need to know about the morals of that institution.

This poem is one of the best answers I’ve found. Your wedding vows, your eulogies, your apologies.

PLEASE USE AI by Jo Atkins-Potts

Please use AI
when your mother dies.

Ask it what grief feels like.
Let it explain bereavement
in twelve clear bullet points.

Do not spend years
finding her
in the supermarket
by the tomatoes she always bought,
in the smell of rain on warm pavement,
discovering new ways
to miss her.

Please use AI
the next time you fall in love.

Ask it how to know
whether someone is the one.

It will give you a faster answer
than watching a person become familiar,
learning how they take their tea,
which floorboards will wake them,
how their silence sounds
when something is wrong.

And please use AI
for your wedding vows,
your eulogies,
your apologies.

Why struggle
for the right words
when a machine can give you
beautiful ones?

Words untouched by shaking hands.
Words that have never sat beside
a hospital bed.
Words that have never known
the terrible privilege
of having something to lose.

Meanwhile

I will be over here
watching someone I love
fall asleep on the sofa,
the television talking to itself,
rain tapping the windows,
the dog twitching in her dreams,

wasting my life
on these small unremarkable moments
that become,
without asking permission,
the whole thing.

Over 50% of their revenue comes from the United States — They live off American Buyers, American Companies, American Airports, and American Service — All while Canada blocks our GREAT American Banks, and Companies, throughout the U.S.A. They even blocked Gulfstream Aerospace from doing business in Canada — Completely unjust and unfair! That Era is OVER! If they want our Market, they must build here, and stop treating America like a “piggybank.” BUY AMERICAN. FLY ON AMERICAN AIRLINERS. ENJOY AMERICAN LIQUOR AND BEVERAGES. SAIL ON LAKE AMERICA.

Our society's unfathomable cruelty to homeless people is not just morally unjustifiable, but more expensive than housing people would be. Cruelty against the homeless is an unaffordable luxury. Abandoning homeless people to avoid offending the Protestant work ethic is an unaffordable luxury.

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions). Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom. And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ. Remember this.

Senior Army officer denied a much-deserved promotion due to mere *suspicion*--which turned out to be incorrect--that he might have supported women as paratroopers. Yet another data point for the theory that the real secret sauce of MAGA--"secret" bc somehow invisible to media--is misogyny.
