Yes, of course this stuff isn't new, google bombing (or looking for the specific words where there suddenly are more black than white people on a google image search) has been a thing for a while now. But this has the added authority of googles AI saying it. And it also needs just 1 source (which always was a fiction account) which is what makes it scary.
The whole trust me im lying multi step program of getting something into the media can be tossed out. It is now even easier to lie online.
Abusing privileged identities like this to do things is apparently a thing the younger hackers are quite good at so this will all be fun.
Painting a cross on the skull of the pope and then claiming this is wrong is a whole new kind of heresy.
Nobody show that picture to the mensware guy.
What a makes this story even weirder was that the ai script apparently talked about forgiveness, but he still got a year more. Which doesnt sound very forgiving to me. Anyway it is going to start to be really fun and messed up when they make the AIs interactive. Esp when they go off script during cross examinations or something like that.
Polymarket on the new pope skeet
Also there already is a bsky user with the username leoxiv, who makes from what I can tell final fantasy poses, some nsfw. Lol.

I know the Rationalists tend to like (or used to) Freakonomics (contrarians recognize contrarians), and the Freakonomics podcast (there always is a podcast isn't there), so I was amused to see the YT channel 'Unlearning Economics', do a 'The Death of Freakonomics' episode.
Story goes he got an extra year of prison and the judge mentioned the ai testimony.
If I ever get murdered in the USA and my ai fake is not shouting about jury nullification you know it isnt the real me.
The anti-christ also needs to be universally liked iirc. And the Catholic church explicitly bans calling out a time (and thus a person) as the anti-christ. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_Council_of_the_Lateran if by a miracle I'm declared Pope (which is technically possible) I will excom all these people, Oprah giving out cars style. (vote for me you cowards).
As a Dutch person, why can't yall be normal about bikes? Just invest in separate bike lanes and protect people on bicycles from drivers (I really need to write out my ~~manifesto~~ blog post on how I think car ownership turns you into a psychopath one day). It isn't that hard. (Shoutout to the couple who was crossing the Houtribdijk (actually a dam, not a dike) on bikes last week)
The Male vs Female skull. Science!
