Hey you need a lot of money when he throws you under the bus
poorly placed em-dash
that's not x, that's y
mic drop final sentence in its own paragraph
I'm not saying it's AI, but I am saying that I hope Sam Altman gets cancer for making me question virtually every string of text I see
As a person who has used em-dash style of writing for decades, because it’s correct and appropriate, I hate that AI has made me seem like a bot
The reason why AI uses em-dashes is because all the journalists and writers used it first.
AI doesn't make you seem like a bot. Honestly, you're a bit mixed up there.
The internet is packed with arrogant idiots who can't actually detect AI written content anywhere close to as well as they have deluded themselves into thinking -- they are the problem in this context.
AI was trained on the content people like you and I have been writing and posting on the internet for decades. It is AI that writes like us and uses our style, not the other way around.

Perfect.

If there's one benefit to the rise of AI slop, it'll be pushing people away from mass social media and back to IRL meetups where you can mostly guarantee you're talking to a real person.

As that one retired general said. We need Nuremberg-style trials. Either the democrats enact them, or the US will fall into republican-controlled dark ages.
Either the democrats enact them
Good luck. Dems are complicit playing good cop while the Republicans are bad cop in the service of oligarchs.
Primary the corporate Democrats with progressives. If that fails, only then a revolution will truly break the shackles of corrupt oligarchy.

On one hand jfc, on the other, you'd think people would stop betting on world events, killing that line of gambling on Kalshi, when we now have multiple pieces of evidence of manipulation.
This is simply what happens when you elect a mob boss as president.
No Trump voter should be surprised.
sure would be nice if there were a way to track that accounts' bets and make the same ones.

The insider trading has been out of control for a long time, but this shit with Trump and truth social posts is as blatant as can be. Of course absolutely nothing will happen to these people as they now 'have money' and are immune to the "justice" system. I don't think I'll ever see things moving in the right direction in my lifetime.
They've got a Signal group.
What insider? Which guy is 16 for 16? What source? I don't disbelieve that could happen, but I can't find anything as specific as this that back that up, and uncritically taking tweets at face value will be the death of us all.

Are you able to tell what this person is betting at the time of the bet? Or only after?
Cause I would just bet what ever he does if you could know beforehand.
Yeah well donald trump jr is an "advisor" for Polymarket so I suppose he's got a lot of things he can win bets on. Not to mention Kushner who's close to both benji and mbs (and djt sr and djt jr). They're all in this scheme together. And the ones who can stop them (GOP senators) aren't stopping them so there's no oversight to whatever corruption they may attempt.
America is not a good country.
Never was.
Everything good about this country was because of our counter-culture doing things in spite of this nation.
A country is more than it's government.
What is wrong with America as a country runs far deeper than its government.
American culture is rotten to its core and always has been. That's why the only good that has ever come from it has been, as stated before, from the developments of counter-culture movements that were born explicitly to oppose it.
Just because I was born in America doesn't mean I have to identify with it and because I don't let that arbitrary identity blind my judgement of this country I can see it for what it really is.
America doesn't have a single, unified culture.

Hey, look at that! A Trump finally figured out how to run a fucking casino!
But Pelosi has made millions being the 29th best stock picker in Congress!
Yes, they both should be in prison.
