  • Do you think that Trump or the Republicans will halt military support to Isreal?

    You also have not answered my question. Are you simply not voting because all politicians are just various degrees of evil and voting for any of them will be “accepting ‘the lesser of two evils’”?

    I am genuinely interested in knowing the point of that statement. Is it to encourage people not to vote?

    Are their any other topics that you apply this mentality to or is it just this election?

    Edit: To answer your question, no, I do not support genocide. I do however believe in choosing the lesser of two evils when there are no better alternatives.













  • I would think that providing an echo chamber for an existing belief would make somebody less inclined to consider alternative view points. Further, I would suspect social media could sway people still undecided on issues. We’ve already seen reports on how Facebook deliberately manipulated the feeds for certain people to encourage either positive or negative emotional responses to a subject.

    Couldn’t those impacts be seen as fueling division and polarization?







  • There are laws against it in the US.

    From the article:

    Two officials from the US Justice Department’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section told The Washington Post that AI-generated images depicting “minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct” are illegal under at least two US laws.

    One law “makes it illegal for any person to knowingly produce, distribute, receive, or possess with intent to transfer or distribute visual representations, such as drawings, cartoons, or paintings that appear to depict minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct and are deemed obscene.” The other law “defines child pornography as any visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct involving a minor,” including “computer-generated images indistinguishable from an actual minor.”
