To see everyday people standing up to heavily armed agents of ICE, FBI, every police state agency, just going out on the street & yelling at them & saying shame on you, get out of our neighborhood, & then they do, they turn around & leave, in this case the shouting beats back the weapons💥

We are hurtling towards an epistemological apocalypse. How will we be able to distinguish between real and fake? A guess: it won't be through technical means. Grasping reality will depend, ultimately, on interpersonal trust, which will become THE currency of the coming AI age.
