Andrew Neil got 1.7 million views just asking questions about whether this bonkers conspiracy theory was true. When given the answers, he got 200k views for noting it was 'Twitter bollocks peddled by numpties'. He then took credit for 'discrediting' the conspiracy, not amplifying it!

Okay maybe this is too hot a take for 5:30pm on a Saturday but I think meme accounts that don’t give any attribution paved the way for people to accept AI words and imagery because it separated culture and entertainment from the idea that someone had to have those thoughts and compose them.

Viktor Orban's decision to completely ban pride is backfiring dramatically. Now Pride is becoming the rallying cry of the opposition against him, and people who would have never even supported that movement are starting to support it. It's becoming the Umbrella term unifying the anti-Orban movement.

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

⚡️🏳️‍🌈After Viktor Orbán’s government passed an anti-LGBT law to ban the Pride march in Hungary, Budapest mayor Gergely Karácsony announced the city will officially organize Budapest Pride as a municipal event on June 28. This means the ban won’t apply: police can’t disperse the crowd or issue fines.

You'd think Elon would be familiar with the phrase "Garbage In, Garbage Out". Having a LLM decide what the correct version of the entirety of human knowledge is, deciding what's "wrong" and deleting "errors", in a recursive fashion, is a profoundly stupid idea, even for Elon.
