It’s an Israeli company, albeit with a U.S. owner. I’m fairly sure this is all fed straight back to the mothership in Tel Aviv.

Perhaps the best way of thinking about the current regime is as the last gasp of white supremacist patriarchy before it gets drowned by irreversible and unstoppable demographic change

Why are white people so afraid of becoming a minority?
Does America treat minorities badly or something?

There will be war. Putin cannot demobilise the Russian war economy without it collapsing so he is compelled to keep attacking until either most of central and Eastern Europe surrenders and pays his bills or he is defeated.

Billionaires: Hey those foreigners are taking your jobs.
Also billionaires: I'm moving my factories overseas to give your jobs to foreigners because you won't let me pay you basically nothing.
Also billionaires: Hey help us train our Ai systems so we can replace you with robots as well.

Honestly if anyone tries to defend his behavior, well that’s a block. Art has a life beyond the artist, but his creations are another reflection of the upbringing that created a monster and that can’t be unlearned.

That was horrific and also horrifically unsurprising. The role of Scientology goes woefully underreported, but the same can be said of other cults that have coercion at their core. Gaiman thinks he’s done nothing wrong - his upbringing taught him that this is what ok looks like 🤮🤮🤮

Emerson Tan @squeakingwheel.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

Sadly none of this is much of a surprise. There are uncountable instances of similarly abusive people who are charismatic and emotionally/sexually abusive. The only difference is that Gaiman is famous and his works are beloved.

As an LLM, it has no memory of interactions across sessions and between users - it's going to be different every time, which makes for a gaslighting machine. I also have deep questions about the business rationale behind the development of these things
