@8124 @Properganda Yes please!

@rameshgupta @Properganda I don't know. I mean he could surprise me I guess, but then he has to get through the rest of the time without stepping on anymore rakes, and I just don't see that happening. I hope I'm wrong, but I suspect that a lot of people are going to be in for a 2016-style shock come November, except this time will be way worse because Trump is nothing but openly petty and vindictive these days.

@rameshgupta @Properganda He's going to botch it, Biden has never been good on his feet except in a clock-is-right-twice-a-day sense. And while most of the time that's not really important, it's vitally important in an election year.

@rameshgupta @Properganda Also Tucker's antisemitism don't forget that. And he has the ear of Trump.

@8124 @Properganda We need gallows humor now. Or at least I do. And yes we'll need it in spades because he's probably getting re-elected.

@8124 @Properganda Yeah that too but only one online trashfire at a time please it's better for all of our sanity.

@rameshgupta @Properganda First Amendment absolutism is going to be the death of us.

@8124 @Properganda Oh I'm not disagreeing with this at all. Just pointing out the irony of the sudden love of the First Amendment and "culture of free speech" by anti-Israel types.

@8124 @Properganda While we're at it, can we just admire the irony of the same people who have been screaching for years now about how Fox News should be banned because misinformation are now outraged because Israel is banning media outlets? Just trying to claw some positivity out of this timeline.

@8124 @Properganda If you know that something's a propaganda outlet, and you're still licensing your content to them, then you're culpable. We live in a world where information is constantly weaponized and traditional media organizations are going to have to adapt to the new reality. They're not doing that.

@rameshgupta @Properganda Yeah I figure they'll reach some sort of agreement, but also it probably will take this kick in the pants to get the AP to agree to something because inertia is real.

@8124 @Properganda If the AP is providing a feed to AJ after AJ's been caught one too many times disseminating Hamas propaganda, then the AP is a de facto propaganda outlet, to say nothing of the years-long adherence to Hamas's rules that's already been mentioned in this thread. The AP can either be independent. or it can follow Hamas's rules and pass info to AJ, but it can't do both.

@dukepaaron This is great.

@dukepaaron This is great.

@bryansmart Removing James from this thread as he asked.

@jscholes Yeah scamming people into thinking LLMs think and feel and that true AI is totally here is absolutely a huge part of this.
