At least none of them will die of autism.

That wasn’t built around agentic AI integration.

This will be.

Is it bad optics? Absolutely.

But anyone who earns an actual paycheck should be on the same team, or at least given the benefit of the doubt.

The enemy makes their money by simply having money, that’s not what this is.

The judge also revealed for the first time that one body-worn camera video captured an immigration agent using the AI tool ChatGPT to “compile a narrative for a report based on a brief sentence about an encounter and several images.”

“To the extent that agents use ChatGPT to create their use of force reports, this further undermines their credibility and may explain the inaccuracy of these reports when viewed in light of the BWC footage,” Ellis wrote.

Quick, someone check if this violates ChatGPT’s TOS!

As much as I appreciate your armchair terrorism PhD, the most likely answer is that he had severe PTSD from his participation in a CIA death squad, where he killed his own people in Afghanistan, including children.

How many American veterans have come back with PTSD and lashed out with gun violence?

Is it possible he was reactivated, or coerced, by a nefarious actor to achieve said bad actors political aims?

Sure, but you’re making a lot of conclusions based on little to no evidence, and flatly ignoring or dismissing other more likely explanations.

By all means float the possibility that this is part of some conspiracy, but don’t pretend that you have definitive evidence that gives you just cause for excluding all other possibilities, especially the possibilities that already fit into the existing American cycle of foreign wars and domestic gun violence.

For example, what if one of his friends or family members were recently deported? Or if he was enraged that after betraying his native homeland, he saw America under Trump descending into fascism and decided to lash out by shooting American military members inside America’s Capital?

You’re hung up on his choice pistol, but how close do you think he could have gotten to his targets with a long gun in the streets of DC? How long could he have walked in DC with an AR-15 slung over his back?

Or what if he couldn’t afford a long gun? Or had other issues purchasing one?

There are many more reasonable explanations for this situation then your comments would lead people to believe, which is my point.

I will say this in your defense of your theory, he is such a terrible choice for a false flag operation, as evidenced by the immediate New York Times article about his CIA background, that it would fit my preconception of just how incompetent a Trump administration false flag attack would be.

I still think it’s one of the lesser likely possibilities, but again, I’m not dismissing that it is possible, just that there are other more likely explanations.

You think he was contracted to sow chaos as part of a false flag operation, with a handgun?

Also, terrorist attacks are generally premeditated by design.

It makes sense because of symbolism. An attack in DC is different than attack anywhere else in the country.

If his aims were political, then of course he would go there, and not Portland, or California.

None of this means he was of a sound mind, and I would say his upbringing means that he most likely not very well adjusted, how could he be?

Whether that extends to some specific diagnosis of mental illness, such as PTSD, I can’t speak to.

Spent practically his entire life in a war zone, because his native country was invaded by America, and was trained to be part of a CIA death squad.

I don’t think you have to reach very far to find causality here.

Are you kidding?

That was the best part of the article.

God bless America. God bless football.

I have a Skylake box that still functions perfectly.

Yes, there’s more power draw then I’d prefer, but why would I upgrade when I use nix and don’t game?

I always have a spare phone on hand, because I literally use my phones until they no longer turn on.

Again, I don’t game, and Pixel’s have an active ROM community and long-term updates, why would I upgrade any earlier than that?

Of course not, which is obvious to any good faith reading of what I wrote.

It’s also one of the biggest factors as to why crimes in those communities are under-reported.

So the research on under reporting of crimes in migrant communities has nothing to do with the crime stats used to support claims that migrants, as a demographic, commit less crimes?

I take it this view on the accuracy and totality of reported crime stats also extends to figures on sexual assault and rape i.e. the crime stats surrounding SA are accurate, and not under reported?

That study long predates the current fascist crackdown on migrants.

I’m not making any argument, I’m simply correcting your misinformation with relevant scientific studies from the NIH.

I understand why that message is counter to the popular narrative on the left, but that doesn’t mean it’s wrong, again, see the study.

I also understand that it’s not a popular thing to bring up right now because of what’s going on, but when you drill down into it, all I’m saying is that migrants are people like everyone else. They aren’t inherently worse then natural born citizens, but they aren’t better either, they’re just people.

And like everyone else, migrant crime rates are most closely aligned to poverty rates, but crime rates are also dependent upon crimes being reported, and there are legitimate and understandable reasons why crimes in those communities go under reported.

This is the other side of migrant propaganda, the the one where they are paragons of virtue and more law-abiding than everyone else, but it’s false.

They are people, and their crime rates, like with everyone else, are most closely aligned to the demographic’s poverty rates, not their immigration status.

Migrants don’t magically escape the correlation between income levels and crime. But they are significantly less likely to report crimes, for obvious and understandable reasons, which does bring the reported crime rates in their communities down.

And I can match your anecdotal stories with my own that counter your anecdotal experiences, including living in Arizona during the SB 1070 era. But just like your stories, they’re anecdotal.

So instead, here’s a 2019 NIH Study:

Silence Speaks: The Relationship between Immigration and the Underreporting of Crime

Covert actions are also acts of war, but the plausible deniability can be used by both sides as an off-ramp from further escalation.

This is a hilarious self-own.

NatSec reporters are critical components for modern defense policy, as they are how the planners and politicians manufacture consent across the populace.

I don’t think this will turn all of these journalists against their masters, errrrr sources, but I bet you get a few additional cases of journalism that would have been previously swept under the rug as favors for said sources.

Maybe not enough to rock the system, but possibly enough to pressure Hegseth.

It’s systemic, and whether or not it’s perpetrated directly by big tech, they are the primary beneficiaries i.e. increased ad sales.

This is a problem that requires regulation, which means it will not be addressed meaningfully, as that won’t happen anytime soon.

Not entirely true, but necessarily false either.

Projectivy launcher for Android TV is great and will remove home screen ads, and provide a much more streamlined interface overall.

Apple TV is really nice though, clean, smooth, and stable. I honestly would recommend that to most people, especially if they already have Apple products.

I have no idea what you’re going on about.

It’s not a matter of betrayal, it was a video revealing another area of influence in society that is now controlled behind the scenes by private equity.

Whose work was I shitting on? I was shaming people who were down voting that very well sourced and informative video, that documented private equity’s quiet takeover of major YouTube channels.

Maybe you should review the comment thread and see if you meant to respond to someone else, because that’s the most charitable explanation I can come up with for your responses to me.

I didn’t single out any particular YouTube channel for individual scorn. My comment was in reference to that very well sourced video about private equity buying up / investing many YouTube channels, of which they provided sources for in the description of the video.
