The "Use AI or you'll get left behind" crowd always makes me laugh with how obtuse they are. Get left behind on what? Being unable to think for yourself? Do things for yourself? Have meaningful human interractions? The techs goal is to simplify & automate not gatekeep future use.
Related, homelessness went up by 18% last year. We have so many peoole who make a living from being influencers and content creators that this ban is going to deal a huge blow to people economically (not to mention the blow to marketing)

If this country didn’t treat incarcerated people like they’re subhuman, this story would be all over every news platform. But because these are Black men and the US prison system is the evolution of American chattel slavery, people don’t care.
“In a span of just two weeks, a dozen Black men at Red Onion prison in Virginia took the same desperate measures, setting themselves ablaze. These are not acts of protest. These are human beings driven to extreme lengths, hoping for relief from torment.”

Kenny Johnson had been begging for something to be done about BioLab since before the latest fire that spewed toxic gasses all over the Atlanta metro area.
He died shortly after speaking at this meeting. The GBI is investigating his death.
