Madison was saying that blacks in the south were enslaved and couldn’t vote. They made up a significant portion of the southern states population which put them at a disadvantage giving them poor representation.

My point exactly. They originated as a open initiative to make AI open and accessible to everyone. Hence their name. Greed made them change their stance and now they are only open in name.

Trolls will be trolls. There are millions of foss projects that function as community efforts and thrive. As another example, have you ever used Wikipedia?

Maybe if OpenAI didn’t suddenly decide not to be open when they got in bed with Micro$oft, they could just make it a community effort. I own a copyrighted work that the AI hasn’t been feed yet, so I loan it as training and you do the same. They could have made it an open initiative. Missed opportunity from a greedy company. Push the boundaries of technology, and we can all reap the rewards.

Wasn’t really all that long ago when non-black people very commonly used that word in public and probably still so in certain communities. Having said that, obese is a medical term and I don’t think it compares in anyway to the n-word.

I think ‘complacent’ is a better term than ‘docile.’ The upper class has put significant time and effort into making everyone else believe that their actions won’t make any meaningful difference, and it’s worked just as planned.

I can’t comprehend why there aren’t people marching in the streets demanding a constitutional amendment to limit the executive branch and restore checks and balances. The recent Supreme Court decision granting absolute presidential immunity is a direct threat to our democracy. We all need to be more proactive. Government moves so slow if not pushed.

As an atheist I can’t tell you how many Christians have asked me why I don’t just rape and murder people if I don’t believe in hell. Tells me everything I need to know about that POS.

Fair enough, but I would compare someone who owns a fat lazy cat to rollin coal assholes.

How are cats bad for the environment? Sorry, first time I’ve ever heard someone claim this.

Nothing like exercising your right to protest by infringing on everyone else’s right to travel freely.

Republicans sure do seem to think you have the right to marry who ever you love when it comes to incest and pedophilia but not LGBTQ.

I would be amazed if Gaza still exists when this war is over.

In other news, VPN sales in Texas skyrocket.

And apathy is why so many businesses are getting away with anti consumer practices.

I think you’re missing the point that it is working and they are intentionally breaking it.

Last time she bet on Nvidia was right before she voted on passing the chips act which directly benefited Nvidia. Thats why this is a story.
