Noticed some AI evangelists try with the same kind of fake centrism, that was pretty popular during the Gamergate era. In this case, they try to set up people spamming genAI slop against “fanatical anti-AI people”. But just as many loves to pretend moderates are “far-left”, as their past-Gamergate selves pretended Anita Sarkeesian demanded state censorship of sexist videogames, as they are now pretending Hasan Piker is the most radical leftist living today (there are much worse even within the content creator sphere, such as Badempanda) to illustrate the “horseshoe theory”, the table is tilted in favor of AI adoption.

    Might want to wait until he actually takes office before taking a victory lap on that one.

    Maybe this time it’ll be worth ignoring all of the giant red flags. I honestly hope it is.

      The only thing weirder than people who obsessively hate dude is the people who obsessively pretend there’s nothing wrong with dude.

        I don’t pretend there’s not anything wrong with him. But he’s not a stinking Republican or a diet MAGA like Fetterman, at least not yet. Besides, it may be tough to beat Collins.

          Can’t speak to what you do or do not pretend, but I can say that this site has a sizeable contingent of people who would lose their shit (before the primary) if you dared to bring up legitimate concerns.
