It is impossible to overstate the extent to which people who consume exclusively right wing media have had the part of their brains that contain Occam's razor sanded down to a tiny little nubbin.

If you use AI, you are responsible for what it does. If you program AI, you are responsible for what it does. If you distribute AI, you are responsible for what it does. If you fund AI, you are responsible for what it does. If you legalize AI, you are responsible for what it does.

Bolsonaro's dad, hospital visit enthusiast Jair, trashed the Amazon, tried to do a coup and was tight with international neofascists. To put his kid in power would be awful. And would come as the US pushes to get right-wingers into power in Latin America, as it expands a military campaign there.

Yesterday, asked about its chatbot's many debunkings of Trump, the White House said it "will continue to be updated to provide more features, resources, and the most accurate information from the federal government."
Today...lots of accurate answers have been simply forbidden, with the chatbot framing information like who won the 2020 election as forbidden "political commentary." x.com/ddale8/status/...
