Is AI a source? It feels like this possibility was unthinkable when that decision was made. Now, it's not.

Makes sense in the 40s. Now that big corporations have machines that can type following orders, this quote should also be taken with an extra grain of salt.

These feel like obvious overlooks. It's almost as if they were selected and planted to generate oposition. That makes me believe there's something I don't know regarding how this is going to go. It's too easy.
In other words, this feels like a bait.

My gut tells me the thing to look for is evidence of manufactured public discourse just before 2017. Whether that manufactured content was generated from a previously unknown widespread deployment of LLMs or manually produced by humans who had prior knowledge of this technology is also a relevant question.
It's so sad to see the Justice Department turn into Infowars.
You would have to be naive not to think it has been going on at scale most often due to financial kickbacks.
Push our propaganda and remove dissent and get a large amount of money, via NGOs / shareblue / USA-ID kickback.
Lately have seen a lot of paid work from Ukraine and other money pots.
Should be made open and investigated

So glad we have a government department out here telling us which people and ideas we're required to listen to or else we're Anti-Competitive.
Maybe if people are "deplatforming" you for your view points, it means that these viewpoints have ALREADY LOST.
Is this supposed to be an actual market place, where ideas win and lose based on whether or not people accept them, or are we now going to be forced by the government to listen to all of the dumb ideas they want to force down our throats?

Any platform with more than some arbitrary number of users which accepts and displays user submitted content will be required to post all legal content and will be prevented from moderating legal content without a court order.
I don't know why they bother, they won after all. Despite all of the "COVID oppression" they complain about, their views are now mainstream and an anti-vaxxer runs American medical policy. I guess they need to keep the narrative of widespread leftist censorship alive.
