At this point I’m convinced Musk bought Twitter to train an AI to manipulate global politics
I can’t really post this anywhere else so you guys get to deal with it. Given how machine learning works, feeding it a bunch of data on political leanings could give it the ability to accurately manipulate the public. Doing this manually was the thesis behind the notion that Russians somehow brainwashed the public in 2016, which means there might be genuine concerns that this is possible.

The Pentagon Keeps Losing Equipment and Buying Stuff It Doesn’t Need
Keeping track of inventory is hard for any large organization. Workers misplace items, administrators fill out the wrong paperwork, and things just go missing. But losing $85 million in inventory? That’s a job for the U.S. military.

Supporters of constitutional liberty should watch closely to make sure that such legislation is shorn of the punitive enforcement provisions and unrealistic timelines that riddled last year’s Republican bill on citizenship verification, and that it does not let the federal government draw unto itself too much discretionary regulatory power over local election administration.
