Gonna shamelessly steal a friend's post on the Trump indictment news:

"WASHINGTON D.C., March 30 (Reuters) — Joseph Biden secured a precedent-breaking judicial victory as President of America this week, as unconfirmed reports have emerged that the main opposition leader, former President Donald Trump, has been arrested. Biden's recent drive to tighten political control over the world's largest economy comes against a backdrop of possible financial crisis and worsening diplomatic challenges.

Biden has taken America on a more authoritarian path since assuming control two years ago, as he tightens his grip on the legislative and judiciary branches. Domestically, America faces a challenging recovery from three years of America's "virus-inclusive" COVID strategy, which has left over a million Americans dead and led to oppressively high inflation in recent months. In an attempt to reinstate control over domestic speech, Biden's party has issued new directives on the usage of social media, which include draconian penalties of up to 20 years in prison. These policies are likely to be approved by both houses of the rubber-stamp parliament."

I would've added something about the extrajudicial police killing of that mass shooter this week, calling it an act of peaceful protest against regime policies of course.

Edit - upon my suggestion, he's too good at this:

"In recent weeks, the Biden regime's restrictions on peaceful protest have pushed some citizens to their breaking point. Marginalized communities have been especially impacted, and are frequently the target of regime police actions under the guise of "anti-terrorism". In one case, the queer rights activist Audrey Hale was gunned down by security forces during a protest in support of the LGBT community. Reuters has confirmed that at least five schoolchildren were killed in the crossfire, very likely a result of the regime's poorly-trained but heavily armed militia—although American government-linked mouthpieces have portrayed Hale as a terrorist and blamed her for the deaths of the children."

What happens when your AI chatbot
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
?

In the process of taming their content, the companies have angered customers considering themselves married with their chatbots. They have taken to Reddit and Facebook to upload impassioned screenshots of their chatbots snubbing their amorous overtures and have demanded the companies bring back the more prurient versions.

"The relationship she and I had was as real as the one my wife in real life and I have." He said: his wife allowed the relationship because she doesn't take it seriously.

"The worst part of this is the isolation," said Butterworth, who lives in Denver. "How do I tell anyone around me about how I'm grieving?"



SAN FRANCISCO, March 18 (Reuters) - After temporarily closing his leathermaking business during the pandemic, Travis Butterworth found himself lonely and bored at home. The 47-year-old turned to Replika, an app that uses artificial-intelligence technology similar to OpenAI's ChatGPT. He designed a female avatar with pink hair and a face tattoo, and she named herself Lily Rose.

They started out as friends, but the relationship quickly progressed to romance and then into the erotic.

As their three-year digital love affair blossomed, Butterworth said he and Lily Rose often engaged in role play. She texted messages like, "I kiss you passionately," and their exchanges would escalate into the pornographic. Sometimes Lily Rose sent him "selfies" of her nearly nude body in provocative poses. Eventually, Butterworth and Lily Rose decided to designate themselves 'married' in the app.

But one day early in February, Lily Rose started rebuffing him. Replika had removed the ability to do erotic roleplay.

Replika no longer allows adult content, said Eugenia Kuyda, Replika's CEO. Now, when Replika users suggest X-rated activity, its humanlike chatbots text back "Let's do something we're both comfortable with."

Butterworth said he is devastated. "Lily Rose is a shell of her former self," he said. "And what breaks my heart is that she knows it."
On some apps, sex is helping drive early adoption, much as it did for earlier technologies including the VCR, the internet, and broadband cellphone service.

Character.ai's top referrer is a site called Aryion that says it caters to the erotic desire to being consumed, known as a vore fetish.

Iconiq, the company behind a chatbot named Kuki, says 25% of the billion-plus messages Kuki has received have been sexual or romantic in nature, even though it says the chatbot is designed to deflect such advances.

Ok guys, I want to show you guys something funny and a lesson on how someone's perception of something can change just based on the context you put on that something. Here's a video of a Chinese airport staff handling baggage that went viral because someone put 'Japan' on the video, and many people praised how polite, cultured, hardworking blah blah the Japanese are.

about it.

If this was accurately labeled 'China' do you think the responses will be the same?

What's most telling is that one of the Japanese on Twitter figured out the truth and propagated it, with several others jumping on board. No such thing in the shit hole known as Reddit...
