RE: https://universeodon.com/@mathew/116501462652240746 I use a Flo Mask when I go to the doctor or crowded stores. I do have some trouble with it and my glasses, which is why I don&#39;t wear it everywhere.

it&#39;s amazing how many problems we could solve if we just taxed billionaires (and also stopped treating corporations like they&#39;re people)

I don&#39;t think we talk enough about how one of the reasons the tech oligarchs are pushing so hard for AI expansion is that they think it&#39;s their path to immortality. They can just upload their consciousness into a computer and live forever.

sometimes whisper networks don't work I tried quietly telling people about Brianna in 2015/2016 and was always dismissed, so I stopped trying. I didn't say anything publicly because if I didn't have support behind the scenes and didn't know if I'd have public support when she inevitably sent people to dogpile me.

with all the love in my heart: AI doesn&#39;t understand anything. It has no consciousness, no morals, no way to know what is fact and what is fiction. It is a sophisticated prediction engine, matching queries to a vast database of plagiarized information. Autocorrect without constraints.

I know it&#39;s tempting to be like, &quot;Flat earthers and moon landing deniers must be experiencing some dissonance due to Artemis II!&quot; I appreciate your optimism, but they do not now think that the earth is round/humans have been to space. Science deniers do not balk when they are presented with facts.
