"A.i." is a tool of fascism. These LLMs are controlled by far right billionaires and absolutely can be manipulated to crank up racism, bigotry, and fascist lies. Keep this shit out of schools, government, and every aspect of your lives.

This is wrong: Trump and Republicans in Congress gave BILLIONS in tax breaks to Big Tech companies building AI data centers. So YOUR tax dollars are subsidizing their AI data centers — at the same time you pay higher electricity and water bills.

WTF? The Republican Party has control of all three branches of government and "can't regulate this?" Why are we, the tax payers, paying these people if they can't, or won't do their jobs?

The GOP hates regulation in the name of freedumb. They do the bidding of their billionaire donors, but many voters don’t connect the dots. It’s why our food and water are poisoned and why data centers are popping up everywhere. Get these old fossils who have no stake in the future OUT OF OFFICE.

In other words, Congress refuses to do its duty. Not just a broken branch. A bygone branch. (At least, part of it...) Willingly surrendering the People's power -- our power -- to a wanna-be king.

The basketball game *mix-up* is the sideshow. The critical part of this Republican hit job is that a sitting US Senator was accusing Jack Smith of colluding in a secret corruption scheme with another prosecutor against Donald Trump. It is a vile as it gets.

It's a fascinating mistake bc it is rooted in the 100% GOP confidence that there was a coordinated legal attack on Trump from Biden/Garland etc. It follows that Smith must have been colluding with Willis to help her out. The idea that he has integrity and wouldn't do that is off the board.

Laugh at Eric Schmitt and Co. for Hawkeyes/Hawks, sure. Their screw up is funny and they deserve the mockery. But also, this was the GOP and allied media geared up to defend a coup attempt with lies and jail a prosecutor because he tried to enforce the law against a criminal. How far we've fallen.

It then went on about viewership. I had to argue back that I didn't ask about ratings but was it on! 🙄
