If stupidity is painful, then please help me to understand how a president can
claim "AI does not need guardrails, only a high IQ
president".https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-administration/trump-rejects-ai-guardrails-rcna597700As
Rick Gervais said "when you are dead, you don't know you are dead. It is only
painful for others. The same applies when you are stupid".-J.

Pink later explained that she did not object to Macklemore’s calls for a “Free
Palestine,” but said, “I have never asked for another artist to be silenced and
I’m not asking now. I don’t need anyone fired, and I don’t need a refund. What
I need is to be able to say, as a Jewish mom, ‘that scared me, and it scared
people I love,’ without being told our fear is just propaganda, and without
being told I’m somehow cool with genocide because I noticed?”I'm not the most
empathetic person. But I try. And I simply cannot understand how someone like
Mackelmore saying "Free Palestine" could *scare* someone like Pink. Is it that
when she hears "Free Palestine", she thinks it means "free Hamas from its
restraints so it can murder Israelis". Is that it?If so, I can imagine myself
hearing someone like ... oh, IDK, Toby Keith shouting "Free the Proud Boys".
Would that scare me? Would it scare local trans people because it would mean
"Free the Proud Boys so they can freely execute trans people in the streets?"
Is that why "Free Palestine" scares Pink?If so, I have to go back to one of my
favorite quotes: "Stupidity should be painful." I mean, yes, I do have an
irrational reaction to things like lotus seed pods. But OMG, it's *because* of
that reaction that I look at them so frequently. What kind of "fear" does Pink
experience? It's just baffling, ridiculous even.-- 8647 ⊥ ɐןןǝdoɹ ǝ uǝןƃὅτε oi
