Crazy how Star Wars has 12 movies and each ranges from good to excellent. Not a a single miss. The 13th movie comes out next week to finish off the 10 movie prequel run. Just take a look at this! Episode 1: Revenge of the Sith Episode 2: Cassian Awakens (S1E1-3) Episode 3: Rebel Heist (S1E4-6)

Chatbots are not bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh. They are not suitable for companionship.

Read an article recently with the line "Move slow and repair things," in contrast with Silicon Valley's "Move fast and break things." That's a proverb that immediately settled right on down in my soul.

Primary use case of generative AI in politics is not creating high quality deceptive imagery, but obvious attempts to take someone's likeness and subject it to your will. Technology always extends something. One thing GenAI extends is non-consensual interactions. Just look at how it was built!
