She was in jail for all that time for " violating probation and allegedly driving with a suspended license."

ICE showed up the day before she was supposed to be released on the November 11th and ordered her held pending deportation. She was released the next day when they got their heads out of their ass and figured out they were after someone else.

Yeah, Costco is fine. I would expect a Sam's Club membership.

How stupid do you have to be to intentionally annoy armed police who are known to violently overreact to provocation while carrying illegal drugs? Yeah, I know, the drugs were probably planted, but still. He probably shouldn't piss off armed fascists with his shenanigans.

Yeah, but to be fair it is substantial enough. This is very basic support issue. Most users (I suspect) wouldn't need any help with this. Any user who does need help from Copilot to change the font size would probably be further confused. If Copilot cannot handle something this simple, how in the world can anyone expect it to be useful and accurate in more complicated situations?

Unless everyone is granted due process, anyone can be denied it, including you and your loved ones.

How many people has Google convinced to kill themselves? That is the relevant question. Looking up the means to do the deed on Google is very different from being talked into doing it by an LLM that you believe you can trust.

True, he latches on to people he thinks are righteous, first Naomi and then Holden, and uses them as his moral compass. But when they are not around, he beats people up and kills then as his go to reaction to a threat and he has no remorse over doing it. As Naomi tells Holden about him, He is a monster. He doesn't want to be a monster, but he is one.

Let's devote the full force of modern technology to create a tool that is designed to answer questions in a convincing way. The answer must seem like an accurate answer, but there is no requirement that it be accurate. The terminology and phrasing of the answer must support the questioner's apparent position and the overall conversation must believably simulate an interaction with a friendly, or even caring individual.

Yeah, in a world of lonely people who are desperate for human contact and emotional support and are easily manipulated, this is in retrospect, an obvious recipe for disaster. It's no wonder we're seeing things like this and some people even developing a psychosis after extended interactions with chat-bots.

Amos Burton from The Expanse. Fans love him but he is a deeply damaged, disturbed, violent individual with no sense of right or wrong. At one point in the books, he looks at somebody and thinks he may have to kill them. The idea doesn't bother him. He doesn't get pleasure from it. But they're in his way so he'll do it.

Not a doctor, but I favor some sort of fronto-temporal neurological issue.

According to Cytowic, 'It is true that individuals who have balance and gait issues similar to those observed in Trump can have degenerative brain disease in the frontal lobes, such as fronto-temporal dementia or Pick's Disease. Other possibilities are normal pressure hydrocephalus, sensory ataxia, peripheral neuropathy, small lacunar strokes in the basal ganglia, supranuclear palsy, the effects of too many medications, and Parkinson's Disease, which can begin on one side and also show early cognitive impairment.'

That's President Hawk Tauh to you.

If you think about it, it kind of has to be. If it wasn't expanding, gravity would make it all fall together already.
