AI's best use case will always be scams. It's scamtech, top to bottom. Everything about it is crooked. Its bedrock is theft and its legacy is the destruction of the environment, both physical and virtual. Even most of its 'legitimate' uses are a form of lying. "I wrote this." "I created this."

Thanks to the Ontario Coalition of Rape Crisis Centres for synthesizing exactly why the Hockey Canada trial set EM up to fail.

Reminder of evidence that WAS included in the trial: - EM's weight at the time - Texts between EM and her colleague where she didn't disclose anything (used to suggest she's lying) - Suggestions by the defense team that EM wasn't actually drunk, that she lied about falling outside the bathroom at Jack's, that Foote was wearing pants when he did a Reminder of evidence that was EXCLUDED from trial: - The 2022 Hockey Canada investigation interviews with the players, which included statements that Foote was naked from the waist down when he did the splits over EM's face and that EM fell outside the bathroom at Jack's - Text from a witness immediately after the event that said And yet, during the Hockey Canada trial, we saw rape myths on full display across five teams of defense lawyers.
