@davatron5000@mastodon.social The comiseration is real. I paused on this one sentence and felt it needed one more item…

@scalzi This is an indictment against people who were warned (as the alarms continue to blare) that AI has its value, provided you don’t go beyond a point that we know is questionable. And these idiots do it anyway. We see this all over humanity in all areas, not just AI. This is a problem with falling for promises for easy gains, being deaf to wisdom, and lacking critical discernment. Take the majority of Americans voting for a president, for instance…

We have some water and toilet issues, and many of us suffer from Outlook glitches, too.

This is what democracy looks like.
Joyful, peaceful, and unified, San Diegan’s delivered a serious indictment to Trump and US Congress: “Enough of this ‘excursion’ into lawless fascism, racism, xenophobia, warmongering, cheating, stealing, grifting, abusing, and killing. We are taking the country back now!”
Only one guy held up a large black sign that said “Jan 6” in red. Nobody was hassling him nor engaging with him at all. One asshole out of 40K+ is still one too many.
