Newsletter: Generative AI is a marketing con perpetuated by Sam Altman and Dario Amodei through a mixture of lies and half-truths carried by a tech media that fails to ask the right questions. Outside of ChatGPT, generative AI companies barely get any traffic at all. www.wheresyoured.at/longcon/

This is a program for teenagers with serious disabilities who are finishing high school and transitioning to their next steps in life. Trump just axed it, effective immediately, in the middle of the night, with no notice.

What I struggle with now is...did everyone else know this and still vote for him? Were they deceived? Did they choose to ignore what was right in front of their faces? I shudder to think, that like me, people recognized, remembered and knew all of this. And still fucking pulled the trigger. 4/4
