“The only control or ‘guardrails’ that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!” Trump wrote.
This should get us all to stop AI. If he’s for uncontrolled AI then we know it’s another mess he got us into.
Stop trying to create life, by burning things that are already alive. stop trying to invent intelligence, when intelligence is everywhere. stop trying to give credibility to the grifters who we know are building these machines with apocalypse as their goal.
more and more and more i find myself feeling like people are wishing for intelligence to be magic, instead of a series of complex processes that are equally as traceable and predictable as an algebra problem.
Look at this photo we found from Donald Trump Jr.’s lavish Bahamas wedding.
Can you spot the Russian oligarch close to Putin who bankrolled the event? 🧵

He fell asleep in a meeting with Turkish President Erdogan, referred to Iran as the "Islamic Republic of Japan", TikTok as "Tic Tac", President Zelensky as "President Putin" & once again demanded the U.S. be given control of Greenland.
He's much less dangerous while sleeping than when he's awake. 💤
I have a question. The physician that does the physicals for our president should be held accountable so that they have to tell the truth or our held in contempt. Does HIPAA protect the presidents health issues? Congress should subpoena the Doctor and demand the truth or hold him in contempt.
this thought feels messy but when i see calls for "get ICE out of my state" an alarm goes off in my head bc it sounds a lot like calling for the fascists to go back to operating in areas where there is less political opposition. I want them out of Arizona and Texas too.
🚨BREAKING: TRUMP JUST
HAD HIS WORST MELTDOWN YET.

and then go play this demo because it's been about two months since I started writing code for this video game and it's gonna be a banger and I would really like more people to come with us on this journey of discovery
just realized it's been about nine years since I realized I was trans
eight years since I released my first ttrpg
seven years since my first ttrpg convention
six years since my first kickstarter
five years since aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
anyway go play this game if you think you might be trans
Mr. Speaker—Bullying trans kids:
-Won’t end this war
-Won’t address the economy
-Won’t make us more free
It will only hurt our kids.
Which is why we are a HELL NO on this bill!

Banksy is back but this time, it’s not a mural. The provocateur confirmed in a video that he is indeed the creator of an anti-imperialist monument depicting a modern man in a suit walking off a plinth with his face covered by a flag.
This👇🏼. AOC is the only one stating it clearly and plainly. Do I have any faith that the American people will ever elect a woman president someday? No. I hope I’m proven wrong.
Khanna to Maria Bartiromo: "Barack Obama was a great statesman who left America much safer. I wouldn't put Donald Trump in the same paragraph. Obama actually did his homework ... all Donald Trump did is listen to Netanyahu. That's his entire foreign policy."
A reminder, as Obama and Mamdani come together for the first time in person, that Mamdani is everything the GOP said Obama was... but wasn't: an African-born socialist Muslim.
