Breathalyzer-locked SUVs, padlocked gun cases with more than three digits (they can probably guess 555), crayons that taste yucky so they’ll stop eating them… the list goes on
Liberals are honest that they pursue electoral politics to improve capitalism. DSA presents the same electoral reformism as socialism. Congressional reactionaries love to smear DSA, knowing its rejoinder will be safely anti-communist. It’s a win-win for capitalist politics.
As I understand it there’s a distinction between analytical AI (the stuff that can help identify tumors and such), and LLMs which are now effectively the catchall “AI” term — your ChatGPTs and Claudes. I honestly have no problem with machine learning if it can be applied, as aforementioned. in research and validated by researchers to improve medical outcomes. That’s a wonderful thing.

Real leather or Naugahyde?
It’s not for you. Of course you’re “stunned.” The base eats it up.
Do it when you get your colonoscopies. A little propofol, a little road test… have fun with it.
You mean the customers with the pup play masks on? Perhaps
Count your bars. There’s one missing, isn’t there. Which one of your friends/family stole it?

I generally assume these days it’s AI-reliant/adjacent and remain in my Luddite cave.
