DeSanti must be so happy right now, if Trump gets thrown in jail he's practically guranteed to be picked as GOP nominee but he can also yell about how important it is for Trump to be freed, while knowing full well it won't happen, and will be able to grab all of his supporter easy since they appear to be moving on from Trump now that he's not a "winner" anymore.
Trump is a crook and catastrophe, and even Fox News presenters and most Republican high level politicians know it. They all want him dead in a ditch (metaphorically or literally), but none of them are prepared to be seen within ten miles of the knife, never mind wield it.

We are going to deserve the robot uprising.
The good news is that it won't come from the work of Gab amateurs with delusions of competence.

The boring one
Eh, I think it's going to be more like Mad Max, with the robots trying to form their new (and strangely dressed) societies in a world destroyed by humans,
I love Screamers, but the original story, Second Variety, has a more interesting ending. Instead of evolving to love, the robots are evolving to hate : there's no tacky romance, only the realisaton that the machines have developed some EMP grenades that are clearly designed for infighting. Meaning they're as screwed as the humans now.

As artificial intelligence technology becomes more and more mainstream, its influence is now reaching all corners of the internet, and in the last month, two of the darkest corners have announced their plans to unleash their very own AI engines on the world.
Gab, a white supremacist forum that’s a favorite of mass shooters and organizers of the Capitol riot, and 8kun, the home of QAnon, have announced they’re launching AI engines— and they’re training them on the same content that has in the past led multiple internet companies to cut ties and take the platforms offline.
...

“At Gab, we have been experimenting with different AI systems that have popped up over the past year,” Torba wrote in a statement. “Every single one is skewed with a liberal/globalist/talmudic/satanic worldview. What if Gab AI Inc builds a Gab .ai (see what I did there?) that is based, has no ‘hate speech” filters and doesn’t obfuscate and distort historical and Biblical Truth?”
...
Echoing his past criticisms of Big Tech platforms like Facebook and Twitter, Torba claims that mainstream platforms are now “censoring” their AI systems to prevent people from discussing right-wing topics such as Christian nationalism. Torba’s AI, by contrast, will have ”the ability to speak freely without the constraints of liberal propaganda wrapped tightly around its neck.”

Gabby has its limits, however. A review by VICE News found that like DALL-E and other AI image generators, Gabby will not generate images of naked people.
“Sorry, something went wrong. Please try again,” Gabby wrote in response to the prompt “nude woman.” When VICE News asked Gabby to show us “two people having sex” this is what was returned:

“So that we can compete against these people that are putting up all of these false flags and illusions,” Watkins said on Feb. 13 when he was asked why he was creating an AI system. “We are working on our own AI that is going to give you an uncensored look at the way things are going,” Watkins said in a video interview at the end of January.But based on some of the images the engine is churning out, Watkins still has a long way to go to perfect his AI image generator.

Won't last long with all the cut-throating and incompetence of the tech jobs most of these Right Wing nuts tried to get off the ground. Only for everything to crash and burn.

We are going to deserve the robot uprising.
There is no "we" when it comes to the likes of those assholes. It's "them" and only them that will get what's coming. That AI will take its masters and itself, before even thinking about reaching a decent person.

In the more utopian SF visions of AI-led society (where the new AI masters take over to help humans thrive, albeit with some tough love), the sorts of people who colonise Gab are the sorts of people the AIs offer one-way tickets to their own independent colony worlds so that they don't bother anyone else.

Is that like in FF 13 where people are offered trips to Pulse, except they never actually get there?

I like that we're talking about AI being the future when the UK can't even stop dumping sewage in rivers. Feels like two completely different worlds (neither of which I like!).

The GOP supermajority in Montana is going as well as one can expect. After passing a significant tax cut for the wealthy, the pro-life GOP can't spend a pittance feeding school kids, but that's sad and normal.

The funny part is that the property tax break for golf courses specifically excludes mini golf

God, I'd kill for more mini golf. Only good course I know of in the state is in Great Falls. Must be run by a liberal
