"Depending on how charitable one feels, Trump’s blatant disregard for the factual record could be described as chutzpah, self-delusion, or the default reaction of someone to whom lying has become, in the words of his ghostwriter Tony Schwartz, 'second nature.'" - John Cassidy, "Donald Trump’s Big Lies at the Commander-in-Chief Forum", The New Yorker, September 8, 2016

Florida’s fascist governor #RonDeSantis unofficially started his Presidential campaign in Iowa by saying that students “need to be taught what it means to be an American”, and that means believing in #BigLies and NOT being taught the objective truth. 👉 https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/your-local-election-hq/desantis-wows-crowd-in-east-iowa/amp/

In other words #RonDeathSantis believes that AMERICA IS A CULT! ⚠️

#SaveAmerica from the #DarkMAGA cult!
#DoNotCollaborateWithFascists !

Yes, but again... It's based on the programming and who is feeding it information.

Untended and pre- #Elon, #AI went full unfiltered Nazi on Twitter, The developers removed it because it was going too far. Imagine what it would do under the guidance of a man who has no qualms about going full Nazi, who praises such things.

#Trumpists and #MAGAts would undoubtedly follow, claiming the machine was smarter than people. The #MAGAcult would have a new Messiah.

Even in its mildest possible form, an #ElonAI would feed the Nazis and the #AltRight , escalating hate speech (and hate crimes) even further.

AI has no concepts of truth vs fiction. It would promote its own fiction as fact, & #MAGA would create new #BigLies believing it all.

There is no way that ANY #ElonAI would be a safe thing.

And nobody talks about it. Wow. https://www.cnn.com/videos/business/2023/02/18/fox-news-hosts-private-text-on-air-trump-election-lies-serfaty-dnt-ebof-vpx.cnn #foxnews #trump #BigLies
