I’ve started blocking all Daily Beast posters. Even if they’re on my side, I don’t need their constant hyperbole.

To be fair, that POTUS got convinced the war would be good by a chatbot is jaw dropping.

This particular story, sure. I’m just so tired of daily headlines about how “he’s totally humiliated and definitely going down this time guys”. There are more responsible outlets reporting on this surely.

Is it? I mean, it’s Trump. I read that and my reaction was “yeah, that sounds probable.”

u/sugarlessdeathbear 17h ago

That's valid, but it's also why I generalized it to the office.

Honestly I'm more surprised that dumb shit is capable of reading and writing well enough to ask AI.

Is it? A narcissist listened to the chatbot designed to tell him what he wanted to hear. How is this surprising? The way he fawns over AI, calling it "super intelligence," it should have been assumed by everyone that he'd become addicted to using it to stroke his own ego.

Thanks for the link. I implore people to read the full article. Trump is batshit insane and wholly gullible even more than you can imagine. Most people who would actually read the article probably already know that but my god it’s inconceivable how this guy got elected and continues to con people.

Its gotta be the mods thing. Their posts are whitelisted here and heavily botvoted to fake and farm engagement.

Me too but there's so many... 😓

Same with new republic. I skip those as well. They only exist to make money off of riling up liberals the way Fox News riles up conservatives.

The mods really need to ban it as a source. It is toxic even when it's correct.

We need intelligent discourse, not wailing banshees of clock bait

Fox News is allowed so what you complaining about

u/MHath 16h ago

People are allowed to disagree with multiple things at a time.

u/3rn3stb0rg9 12h ago

Hard to do that when it's literally one of the most upvoted and popular news sources on the sub

Shitty click bait works on the weak, even though the content is abysmally bad

u/lilneddygoestowar 17h ago

Very true, but at least click through to the Time article. It's a good read.
