This is my last tweet. The more I learn about Musk’s projects the less I want to associate with any of them. DCD

Fox could do the nation a great service by asking for a show of hands of the candidates : raise your hand if you believe Biden was legally elected president in 2020. Any who didn’t raise their hands would then be asked what evidence they were relying on

@nescio13 @TheAtlantic @harari_yuval @TheEconomist This gets it right. Schliesser didn't stress that these counterfeit people will reproduce, which will very soon create an uncontrollable pandemic if we don't take steps NOW to regulate. LLMs, like other viruses, don't have to be intelligent to get us to reproduce them.
