if your agents are going to commit crimes, you are legally responsible if you cannot figure out how to prevent your agents from doing crimes, you’re going to have to choose between releasing them and protecting yourself from criminal liability imo this would do more for “ai safety” than a sex cult

I encourage American's everywhere to support Ukraine as they engage in a long-time American tradition--crippling the Russian state. Oil refineries go boom and tankers explore the ocean floor until they pull out of Ukraine. The admins push to undermine this is antithetical to democratic interests.

I guess in fairness. If anyone in the Trump administration actually took any Greek poetry or plays to heart they wouldn't be the people they are now. So I don't know why I would expect them to take any of this seriously.

President Trump on Russia's war against Ukraine: "I think that Russia would like to make a deal,&we've had it back and forth." Comment from me: within the past few days, Putin killed over 70 civilians in Ukraine, including children. I think that speaks very loudly regarding his peace intentions.
