Sure seems like Big Pharma spent way way more energy, money and lobbying capital on fighting Dems on prescription drugs than doing anything about the Secretary of HHS casually, and without any real evidence, telling everyone their products kill kids and give them autism.

This story is WILD. Trump sent Seal Team 6 into North Korea to plant a listening device. The entire thing went sideways within minutes of landing when they noticed a fishing boat near the beach. They killed everyone on board, sunk the bodies to cover their tracks, and fled. Congress was never told.

It feels like you are applying the past to the present here in a way that seems unjustified. Haven't we literally watched these organizations 'conform' before our eyes over the past decade? They were once considered credible news sources by much of the world.

One of the ways some of you do this is by constantly using the term 'AI', which tech oligarchs want us to use due to its inability to be well defined. We should immediately start using less sexy and more accurate terms like 'large language models' etc and stop buying into product marketing.
Chris (@c0sm0s.bsky.social) reply parent
Right? How is a politician who ignores the wishes of 80% of their constituents a good person? Also there have been multiple instances where he has put the interests of foreign countries ahead of the people he is sworn to represent. History is not going to view him as a good person.

They don't feel shame, but they care deeply about status. Wanting to be liked--or at least envied--is their Achilles heel. We can use that against them:it's cheap, non-violent & effective. Social shunning of elites supporting Pinochet helped bring down the Chilean dictator: it can work here too.

One of the most effective things Trump does politically is repeatedly refer to Chuck Schumer as pro-Palestine. Schumer will ensure countless more innocent children die to avoid the perception that he might help these people.

This is why we shouldn't use the term 'AI' when describing tech products. It's marketing. Yet most of the technology's most vocal critics fall into this trap where they ultimately are promoting it due to their choice of language. 'Large Language Models' is a less sexy term and Zuck etc know this.

"Democrats should be doing press conferences every day" or "we should bring back fireside chats" - Dems already do these things. The media doesn't cover them, social media doesn't amplify them (unless a Dem says something stupid) and no one watches or listens to them.

Four years have passed and Quenneville had to apologize directly to Beach, among other things to be reinstated by the league. The perception the team doesn't want reporters asking Toews about this is only going to be exacerbated if he's asked questions on the road that are not asked at home.

So you think we will have to wait for media availability in a US market for Toews to be asked about the Kyle Beach situation?
