The Big Three automakers taking tens of billions in auto bailouts fully funded by taxpayers—and now refusing to share the resulting record profits with workers—is the epitome of what's wrong with our economy.

Socialism for the wealthy. Rugged individualism for workers. Absurd.

BREAKING! Senator Warnock wins the Georgia runoff election! ❤️ Dems now have complete control of the Senate and complete control of all Senate Committees. ✊🏽 GOP's “red wave” was a wave good bye. 😉

Congrats to Senator Warnock on his reelection!❤️❤️❤️

OTD in 1865, the United States adopted the 13th amendment & nearly abolished slavery. Yes, nearly. The 13th Amendment left open slavery and indentured servitude as punishment for a crime. They don’t teach us this in school, but America never fully abolished slavery. That’s truly horrifying.

Congress must abolish unpaid prison labor & truly abolish slavery and indentured servitude in America. We must uphold justice as the supreme standard in all manners. That is how we form a more perfect Union.

The Turing Test poisoned the minds of generations of AI enthusiasts, because its criteria is producing text that persuades observers it was written by a human.

The result? Generative AI text products designed to "appear real" rather than produce accurate or ethical outputs.

It *should* be obvious why it's problematic to create a piece of software that excels at persuasion without concern for accuracy, honesty or ethics. But apparently it's not.
