I can center images in webpages, also animate some stuff while you scroll them, while they all glued together with magic and the power of imagination.

Web design in the early 2000s: Every 100ms of latency on page load costs visitors.

Random advice:

1. Remember, the world is a lot smaller than you might think.
2. Don't use AI for electrical wiring diagrams, unless your life insurance is paid up.
3. The more fame and fortune, the less you might want to trust that person, based on a leaked email database.
4. The grass is not greener on the side of the fence, which is occupied by Nazis.
5. Do not pick the poison oak, even if it's got pretty flowers (right about now).
6. Apparently, though, you can eat raw stinging nettle. 😬
7. Don't drink raw milk while pregnant.
8. Make sure you are up on your measles vax, and your kids, too, and avoid the anti-vaxxer church with your infant.

"Is that really the hill the State Department wants to die on? That deepfake NCII is conservative speech?"

Yes, it really *is*. Because conservative patriarchal values are all about ownership of less-than-fully-human chattels (loosely, women and children: also, weaker males) by the patriarchs, who get to fuck them however they want (because they're property, not people).

Deepfake NCII *is* "conservative free speech". When someone shows you who they are, believe them.
