Very well said and I do agree with most of it. My point was more so that just being a transphobe is not the only thing making her a terrible person. There were very troublesome depictions even in her books before we knew she had gone off the deep end. I would argue that those indicate she has always held vile beliefs, she just didn’t flaunt them so brazenly. The fact that she is unable to admit her errors and correct her ways is also an indication that she holds these beliefs deeply.

I certainly did. Your first paragraph was very much giving her the benefit of the doubt that she wasn’t always a piece of shit. I disagree. I think she just no longer needs to hide it.

There’s no need to play apologist for a cunty billionaire. More likely, this is who she’s always been, and now she just has enough money that she no longer needs to hide it.

Doubtful. Most of them are going to want a pardon for their complicity in the destruction of America.

That’s the Washington Post.

It didn’t say he successfully defended them.

Agreed. He didn’t have any problems posting it to social media. There’s no reason not to include his identity in the article. Even if he posted under a pseudonym, that should still be included.

Not really, no.

The problem is that this is going to affect far more people than just these moronic Teamsters.

If they are training the AI with copyrighted data that they aren’t paying for, then yes, they are doing the same thing as traditional media piracy. While I think piracy laws have been grossly blown out of proportion by entities such as the RIAA and MPAA, these AI companies shouldn’t get a pass for doing what Joe Schmoe would get fined thousands of dollars for on a smaller scale.

Come on, everyone always mentions the elementary schools, but we have plenty of other gun ranges. High schools, colleges, workplaces, shopping malls…

I have a government-issued iPhone. It has Signal on it, and I have access to the appstore. It’s also not allowed to be used for anything but unclassified communication and isn’t permitted inside restricted areas.

I don’t see any sarcasm here. That is a 100% factual statement.

These puns are fowl. I’m glad we’re not cooped up on the same instance.

The leopards have been eating well these last couple of weeks.

Well, sure. We needed a new DINO now that Manchin and Sinema are gone.

Yes.
