Already saw at least one Dem Congressman making the same point about denaturalization and just begging, begging people not to descend to the level of calling for stripping the citizenship of people you don't like.

Fingers crossed this truly is a bridge crossed and the Trump/Musk falling out is irredeemable. (Don't want to get my hopes up and then see this spat memory-holed a few days hence.) Also, like actually get Musk and minions out of our data, if that's not too much to ask.

Helpful to have this extended example of what chatgpt actually outputs to see the kind of impressionistic, overly wordy slop that LLM's generate. The nature of it is immediately clear to me when I see "AI" images (since I work in a visual field,) but this is revealing to see in text form.

🇵🇱🇭🇺 Poland’s presidential election reminds me of Hungary, where Viktor Orbán appointed inexperienced, unvetted & unqualified presidents—one (Pál Schmitt) resigned over a plagiarism scandal, the other (Katalin Novák) after pardoning someone in a pedophilia case. Different context, same warning signs.

So here's the thing about "viewpoint diversity": those who advocate for it would never tolerate—or certainly advocate for—including underrepresented liberal perspectives. It's a one-way ratchet.
