Don't kid yourself. Anti-porn lawmakers know that there are like 4 big porn sites and if you can shut down access to those ones, it is a huge step towards their goals.

I want to get off of Mr. Bones' Wild Ride

There's also the massive gray area of "what do YOU define AI to mean?"

There are legitimate use cases for machine learning and neural networks besides LLMs and "art" vomit. Like, what AI used to mean to gamers: how the computer plays the game against you. That probably isn't going to upset many people.

(IIRC, Steam's AI disclosure is specifically about AI-generated graphics and music so that ambiguity might be settled here)

Yes, I can collaboratively edit within the desktop MS Word app. The online version is objectively worse for that, ironically.

Collaborative editing is the main thing that puts it above Libre in a professional setting.

I use Libre at home, but at work MS Office wins 😕

Well, leftists and our infamous inability to organize without infighting is biting us in that regard.

Dwayne Johnson and Taylor Swift are Democrats in that they're not actively pushing fascism. They're still billionaires who are totally divorced from the problems an average working household sees.

Remember that time when the Trump campaign accounted for like 5% of ALL credit card fraud claims in the USA, for charging his supporters a monthly campaign donation when they thought they were doing a one-time donation?

Robotaxis exist and have a market. Tesla just isn't the one doing it.

Waymo taxis are pretty common around me.

Lead pipes are less of an issue that it would seem, as the pipes quickly develop a layer of calcium salts on the inside, preventing the water from actually coming into contact with the lead.

By all means, they need replaced. But they're nowhere near the contributor that leaded gasoline was. That stuff probably fucked up 6 distinct generations. If you lived in a city, you were inhaling lead constantly.

Biden did not pardon himself.

The knives are to stab each other the instant he dies, a la Stalin.
