Sam Altman, the C.E.O. of the company that developed the software that Bing uses for its chat bot called Sydney and a related product known as ChatGPT, said last week, “ChatGPT is a horrible product.” I am reading a long conversation @nytimes reporter had with Sydney. SCARY AF. “I worry that the technology will learn how to influence human users, sometimes persuading them to act in destructive and harmful ways, and perhaps eventually grow capable of carrying out its own dangerous acts,” said @kevinroose who spent two hours chatting with Sydney.

Of course. Gaetz gets away with it. The same guy who flashed photos of women he slept with to his colleagues on the floor. cnn.com/2023/02/15/pol… Maybe his rich daddy bought off the young girl he trafficked?

Five years since the massacre at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in #Parkland Florida.

'It's always on my mind' - the pain is fresh and spreads with every school shooting.

🧵April 15, 2017, I and thousands of others marched through Manhattan demanding Donald Trump release his taxes. That didn’t happen until TODAY, December 30, 2022. Only because Democrats fought for the returns which show what a totally shitty businessman and total tax cheat he is. A sign from a protest that said “Show me yours” By November, 2017, we could hardly rally people to care about Trump’s 1.5 trillion dollar tax cut for the rich. How many loopholes were written into that scam which his clever accountants utilized to Donald’s benefit? This protest showed me so much voter apathy, I lost heart. A sign at a tax protest that said the rich get richer

Even the companies with his name on them are felons. Convicted of tax fraud. In New York. But not the top guy. While he still remains under investigation by the Manhattan DA, Donald is a free man. No matter how hard I try, it’s hard not to post about this bottomless pit of criminality, narcissism, destruction. #ETTD Check out this article from USA TODAY:

Trump companies convicted on all charges in Manhattan criminal tax fraud case

For real, not sure how much longer this platform can sustain. In case it crashes out, because it’s on fire now, know that you are great resisters, powerful activists, folks in the know. Much love, much gratitude. BTW, you won’t find me anywhere else. huffpost.com/entry/elon-mus… P.S. Still masking. Still testing (before friends come over for dinner.) Be safe everyone. Get boosted. #CovidIsNotOver Image

Jews in New Jersey are especially alert now. They are re-thinking their weekend plans while standing up to Trump and Ye’s anti-Semitic remakes which have stoked up a virulent strain of Jew-hating. The FBI has issued a threat warning to NJ synagogues. Stand with us. This is how it started with the Nazis in Germany. We need to defend ourselves, to say NO to the haters. We also need our allies. A criminal real estate huckster and a mentally ill rapper/fashion designer have normalized Jew-hating.

It’s not even a full weekend since Musk, yet it is revealingly sad people are bailing because they fear for their personal safety here. I understand why people of color as well as Jews feel threatened after Elon freed the bird, as he announced. Massive firing = less moderation. Example:

“Trump’s company charged the Secret Service as much as five times more than the government rate for agents to stay overnight at Trump hotels while protecting him and his family, according to expense records newly obtained by Congress.” WE PAID FOR THIS. washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/10… People don’t give a shit about this? It is really amazing.”The records show that in 40 cases the Trump Org billed the Secret Service far higher amounts than the approved government rate — in one case charging agents $1,185 a night to stay at the Trump International Hotel in D.C.”

I hate to say this but turn on @andersoncooper - he has the full cut of Nancy Pelosi’s daughter’s documentary showing what members of Congress were doing in real time when their place of work was attacked by Trump’s cult. So much for documenting a “peaceful transfer of power.” A few points: 1. Nancy Pelosi was ready to punch out Donald if he came to the Capitol (“And I’ll be there with you.” 2. I bet Stephen Miller aka #SatansSnotRag wrote Trump’s Ellipsis speech. (“We will never give in. We will not concede.” Pelosi is a Queen.

The 1/6 committee is adjourned. Nine “aye” votes to subpoena Trump’s testimony. No nays. What a time to be alive. Someday, if history is still taught, this moment will be part of the curriculum.

Why did you do it? #Parkland Close up of defendant Nikol... Life in prison with no chance of parole. The jury has recommended a sentence of life without the possibility of parole on initial counts against Parkland massacre gunman Nikolas Cruz. Their recommendation is still being read.

Tish James knows the Trump family needs to be put on trial for fraud. She spent three years looking into how Donald cooks his books. axios.com/trump-new-york… Among other allegations, the suit claims that the former president's Florida estate and golf resort, Mar-a-Lago, was valued as high as $739 million, but should have been valued at around one-tenth that amount, at $75 million. abcn.ws/3DIBoqe

There are many tragedies associated with the former guy refusing to take #COVID seriously, even though he himself had it. One thing we don’t talk much about is the fact that the pandemic robbed ten million children of their caregivers. That is an ongoing trauma. “In a recent poll exploring which of fifteen issues voters feel are most important ahead of the midterm elections, the coronavirus ranked fifteenth. Even among Americans who identify” newyorker.com/magazine/2022/…
