To me, this looks very winnable for Osborn.
I checked and the lawsuit story is true.
"AI" is screwing up things that shouldn't even be possible to screw up.
But this is a reality from which we can easily escape. I've never had an account on any social media platform, and you don't need them either. Just close them. No "but I only use it for.....", just close them.
I've thought of the New Testament as Christian mythology for years. The Old Testament is various ancient Middle Eastern mythology and folk tales mixed with a small amount of real history toward the end.
How can you see a cow up close and still want to drink or eat anything that comes from that thing?
I'm sure all those activists will get right on this as soon as they figure out how to use it to make Israel look bad.

Good round-up of memes this morning! Perfect with coffee!

Great stuff, especially the callouts to antisemites!
The cashless retailers really aggravate me now. Especially since most restaurants are charging a fee TO USE a credit card. Make it make sense!
I like those second graders who say, "That's AI!"
Rade: Thanks!
Paula: My loathing for anti-Semites will never fade.
Bijoux: I very rarely use cash, but I don't think I'd go to a business that declared itself cashless. It's the principle of the thing.
It's well-deserved that "AI" is becoming an expression for "it's wrong".
If I didn't have a dog that needed to go out, no one would see me until October. lol
I don't carry a lot of cash but if a business says they are cashless, I won't go in. Let one do that and too many others will follow suit. We need to be able to use cash if something happens to the power.
I know the feeling. I wish I could teleport so I could get everything done without ever needing to be outdoors, especially in this heat and glare.
That's a good point about loss of power. If cash goes out of use, a power outage of more than a few hours would be disastrous. Nobody could buy anything.
Your "I don't judge people quote" reminded me of one of my favorites:
"I have no color prejudices nor caste prejudices nor creed prejudices. All I care to know is that a man is a human being -- that is enough for me; he can't be any worse."
Mark Twain
That certainly sounds like Mark Twain!

Please be on-topic and read the comments policy. Spam, trolls, and fight-pickers will be deleted. If you don't have a Blogspot account and aren't sure how to comment, please see here. Fair warning -- I reject all comments containing any of the following:
1. Support for transgenderism

3. Support for a military draft or compulsory national service
I am not obligated to provide a platform for views I find morally abhorrent. And obviously I'm going to delete anything which is just quoting what an "AI" said. I want to hear from you, not from the always-wrong hallucination machine.
No comments advocating violence against any specific identifiable individual, even jokingly.
Please be considerate -- no political or politics-tinged comments on non-political posts, and no performative cynicism. Finally, please remember that this is a personal blog whose main purpose is to encourage contact from people with similar interests and world-views to mine. I really don't much care for arguing and debating; if arguing and debating is what you want, there are plenty of other places on the internet which welcome that.
