She must be, because Republicans in other states are suppressing speech. At least that's the Daily Kos take. All the stories explain what happened, but THE NARRATIVE take is what we must spread. What a buffoon ! 😂 Conservatives love banning books they don’t like. Look at Maus, for instance. Can’t have anything that makes you feel uncomfortable! 44 minutes ago, Chris farley said: LMAO.

Mobs/authoritarians love banning books. Some weirdos lately are championing pornography in libraries. thats just strange. but again, that seems to be a mob thing I provided an example of when the LEFT wanted to and banned DR Suess. and you still ran with "Conservatives." 1

So books that have pornography should be allowed in school libraries, is that what you're saying? And The Sneetches is broadly about classism, not just racism. Edited January 12, 2023 by Doc 1

Not allowing certain books in school libraries is very different from banning books everywhere. But if it plays into the left's hands, that's all you care about, isn't it? Never mind that this was a terrible example. Again the kid and probably the Admin weren't Republicans. 1

Tiberius Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 A few weeks ago, I had dinner with some friends. One of them pulled out his phone and asked me if I thought I had written more than 200 pieces or so at this stage of my career. “Probably,” I said. “Why?” Sign up for a weekly roundup of thought-provoking ideas and debates “You know, the way things are going, artificial intelligence is going to be able to write articles and books just by analyzing your writing style.” I was initially incredulous, maybe a bit dismissive. Then my friend went to a program on his phone and put in a query, asking it to write a 1,000-word Christmas story in the style of Charles Dickens. To my amazement, the program started churning out paragraphs within seconds — and not just a jumble of random words. The grafs had sentence variation, color, plot development. He did another query: Think of a title for a children’s holiday book aimed at a Black audience. Within seconds, a list populated — and the winner was something to the effect of “Zahra’s Big Holiday Surprise.” I was stunned. I thought of that convo as the news came down this week that the popular electronics site CNET has been using AI to write full articles. Frank Landymore at the Byte documents how eagle-eyed marketer Gael Breton figured out that CNET had quietly published more than 70 articles using AI since November, under the author name “CNET Money Staff.” Clicking on the author’s note reveals the truth: “This article was assisted by an AI engine and reviewed, fact-checked and edited by our editorial staff.” On top of that, it appears these AI-generated articles have benefited from Google traffic, despite the fact that Google has said it will prioritize human-generated content. Landymore wrote that a Google spokesman had clarified, “Our ranking team focuses on the usefulness of content, rather than how the content is produced.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/01/13/ai-writers-performance-enhancing-steroid/ 1

Even without Market Garden we had the upper hand. Many soldiers of that time had the same opinion. My father included. Roosevelt sold out to the Russians when he could have crushed them. Always said they could have marched right thru them. I hope there was some good reasons. 1
