I’m going to keep calling Charlie Kirk a fascist who should not be valorized. I am not capitulating to the climate of repression the Trump regime and its supporters have created. The only way to protect freedom to speak truth, is to keep speaking truth.

"Confirmation bias (tendency to believe what you already believe) + automation bias (tendency to believe what a computer says) + isolation + an AI chatbot that constantly reinforces whatever you say = an incredibly powerful recipe for psychological dependence and thus user retention and thus money".
