Media isn't reporting his obvious dementia. They call the nonsense he spouts "rambling speeches."

Some other recent examples:

“We can’t have an election in the middle of a political season. We just had Super Tuesday. And we had a Tuesday after Tuesday already.”

"Gang boong. This is me. I hear bing.”

" I could tell you about aircraft carriers, where they use electric catapults. They couldn’t go to the steam, which works better for about 1/100th the price, you know? The electric catapult, you know that story? I could tell you about the elevators on a tremendous carrier, the Gerald Ford, and they decided not to use hydraulic like the John Deere tractor, they decided to use magnets, ‘we’re gonna use magnets!’ to lift up the elevators with seven planes.”

Under the Ayoka moniker, Johnson issued a torrent of antisemitic screeds, conspiracy theories and alarmist warnings on Thursday and Friday. These included a repost of a debunked apocryphal speech attributed to Ben Franklin about how Jewish people “depreciated” societies wherever they settled, a video about Jews promoting pedophilia in the entertainment industry, and unproven theories about the origin of COVID-19.

This is qanon shit. Don't know why OP didn't include it in their excerpts of the article.

"X" is such terrible branding that every news article always has to do what you suggest, otherwise people don't know what the hell is being discussed.

Sancerre, for sure.

That's the beauty of sado-populism

• Enact policy that hurts your constituents
• Blame out-group du jour for the problem
• Run on "stopping" said out-group
• Rinse and repeat, change out-group as necessary.

They were using machine learning to try and figure out what people were buying. Machine learning has lots of errors until you train it.

Machine Learning, no matter how well trained or advanced, is just doing a make-em-up.

Besides that, in this case the experiment has been going on for years and humans were still doing like 70% of the work. It was a failure, that's why Amazon shut it down

This is well worn Nazi propaganda.

They constantly claimed crime was out of control during the Weimar era, when it was lower than before WW1

Everything that is labeled "AI" is made up. It's all just statistically probable guessing, made by a machine that doesn't know what it is doing.

A term created in order to vacuum up VC funding for spurious use cases.

This concept was in season 2 of Slow Horses.

Fighting climate change takes systemic change, as to truly solve it we need to do away with extractive capitalism. Turning on the money taps to fund the military industry fits neatly within the current system.

This whole grift is specifically set up to allow churches to donate money to him without breaking the law.

I think you're more optimistic than I am about a conservative appeals court judge being able to first understand that the technology works very well, then actually give a shit if they do.

Which big tech companies are trying to fight misinformation?

I think it's telling that they acknowledge that the stuff their bots churn out is often such garbage that training their bots on it would ruin them.

Especially if you are using the word "pants" the way that Churchill would have.

Automatic spam generator.

I mean, the ability to churn out maybe amounts of these fake photos with no effort on the part of the user, causing them to pollute real Internet searches (also now "augmented" by MLB themselves) is definitely AI specific.

Also, colorizing photos is not the same thing as making fake ones.

I think about it the other way: there are lots of people that are uninformed and apathetic, they didn't like trump, but think there isn't a big overall difference between the two old guys. Those are the people that need to understand how bad Trump is, and how good (in a relative sense) Biden is as the alternative.

They are incapable of embarrassment.

The reason you're being some of these old guard Rs retiring, even far right ones like that rep from Colorado, is that they actually can feel something resembling shame. Guys like Jordan and Comer can't.
