But he's always been like this. He had the world's largest intelligence apparatus at its service, but didn't believe what they said when it contradicted what his buddies Vlad and MBS told him.
Alternatively, they spend so much of their time listening to bots on the Internet that only other bots make sense to them.
Jesus was a socialist Jew. We had one of those run for President, too, but couldn't make it past the Democratic primary.
Many Conservatives have been conditioned to stop looking for facts and believe what the TV tells them. Trump admitted as much during the debate. When challenged on the cat thing, he dismissed the reporter's research and said that he believes it because he saw it on TV. His voters will, too.
Roger Ailes was Nixon's media consultant during Watergate, and the lesson he learned was that if the media was on Nixon's side, he could have gotten away with it. Ailes went on to run Fox News. That is no accident.
Back in the day, if I saw some braindead karma farming post on Reddit, I took a look at their post history and quite a few times it was a brand new account. I would simply reply "Welcome to Reddit! How has your first [week/day/hour] been?". I think precisely twice it turned out to be a new human user, the rest of the time they would just delete the comment (or possibly even the account).
I got banned years ago from r/funny because I was browsing on "new" (like I do here), responded to a post with a lame joke within minutes after it posted, then the powers that be decided the poster was a spammer, and banned me too. I asked them why they banned me, but got absolutely nothing in response. It turns out, though, that being banned from there made absolutely no difference to my Reddit experience.
Now that Reddit is a public company, and courting income from paid official subreddits, it's only a matter of time before there is a huge class-action lawsuit over their uneven moderation policies. Especially if companies start steering a good portion of their customer interaction there. It is super unfair to be cut off from legitimate customer service because of a power-tripping mod in a totally different part of Reddit.
Besides, I hit on the best way to ensure I never get banned from Reddit: I don't go there anymore.
Bullshit. AI are not human. We shouldn't treat them as such. AI are not creative. They just regurgitate what they are trained on. We call what it does "learning", but that doesn't mean we should elevate what they do to be legally equal to human learning.
It's this same kind of twisted logic that makes people think Corporations are People.
What's better is that, thanks to Elon Musk, "STINKY" is the default name for its Starlink wifi. These people didn't even change that.

Think of someone who makes small crafts and sells them on some online platform. Someone who does this as a business will keep track of their materials costs, and subtract them from their sales cost, only paying taxes on their actual profit.
But the IRS will only let you do this if they determine your intent is to make a profit. If they think you are purposely just selling enough to cover your materials, but using most of the materials for yourself, they can tell you that you never had an actual business in the first place, and that all that deducting of expenses never should have happened.
