BTW, thanks for the reminder to rewatch GalaxyQuest. It's such a great movie.

TBF, they want everyone dead.

"Hoarding" was just another example of American media blaming individuals for systemic problems. There are always a few idiots, but what actually happened was a breakdown in supply chains.

Same thing happens every time it snows. Stores have enough stock for X people to buy TP. When the whole neighborhood decides to stock up at the same time, they run out.

Companies used to train workers, now they just complain that workers aren't pre-trained by some magical process. (And millennials are old enough that we've forgotten how dumb we were in our 20s.)

Those are the gang tattoos we need to worry about.

Yes.

America has always been more or less of a fascist state, and this is not new activity, although it is worse and more brazen in a lot of ways. Civil Rights for ethnic minorities has always been pretty iffy.

30% of the country loves this shit, and another large fraction doesn't even know it's going on. A lot of us are working to try to change things. The media is not covering all of the demonstrations, but we definitely need more people to get angry.

The problem with that is that a guy who murdered his three kids is known for something.

At the most generous, maybe the professor in the article shares a name with the killer. Articles will include enough information to clear the professor (like maybe the killer has been in jail for a decade ). A LLM will weave together real information about the professor with the "fact" that he killed his kids.

ChatGPT shouldn't be used to find any real information, period.

People thinking a glorified autocorrect is a source of factual information is horrifying.

When you want a job done right, don't leave it to amateurs, go to stealmytesla.com.
