The word must remain free. If you think something looks like AI you shouldn't be required to stay quiet, since there can't exist any evidence for or against the usage of AI anyway. It's the reality of the current climate. A rule would mean an unfettered growth for AI where it can be present without anyone saying anything until the artists/company admits it themselves, and that's simply asinine.
No company is even required to disclose AI usage in the first place.

Where is the line between speculation and accusation anyway? If someone is 100% sure something is AI, you mean it's their duty to either stay quiet or add "I think" and that will somehow make a difference?
As I mentioned, evidence is not relevant since it can't exist outside of admitting in using it.

Great Progressive Causes in History:
-Prohibition
-Race science
-Eugenics
-Sterilization
-Minimum wages to drive minorities out of employment
-Industry monopolization
-Banking cartels
-Cartelization in general
-Labor camps
-Worshipping foreign dictators like Mussolini and Stalin because "they get things done"
-Anti-pornography
-The Pledge of Allegiance and making it mandatory
-Targeting minority culture for forced "assimilation"
-The "spiritual" benefits of mass warfare
-Unchecked executive power
-Presumption of legality for all government actions
How much more evidence do people need to understand that the progressivism = progress?

Because borders are a thing. It's all in project 2025 documents.
If you own Greenland you can continuously use the North West shipping passage, since it's without ice more and more each year. And Trump would love some uninterrupted, unmonitored shipping route to and from Putin. Quote:Vladimir Putin controls half of the Arctic Circle. Trump wants to be best friends with Vladimir and for the two of them to be the masters of the Arctic Ocean once the polar ice caps melt, ripping out all of the newly revealed natural resources and using them to become the kings of the world.
It's not even a conspiracy, it's the most obvious thing.
Quote:Thanks to our impact on climate, Greenland will be likely a lovely new shipping route soon enough. Control that and you control a huge source of wealth, let alone the other resources to exploit.
Trump may be an idiot impressed with big maps, but the people behind him are just plain old land grabbing bastards.
Quote:At this point I wish the EU would start taking some measures against the US, give them a taste of their own medicine. I'm talking Cold War era style espionage and sabotage.
Whats funny is, folks have said the US invading Greenland would be attacking NATO which the US is part of, so Trump would be directly attacking the US too, treason effectively.
Quote:And any future US federal elections are very, very much in question. imo, Trump is going to at least try to cancel the midterms. He is saying so. We do not know if our laws will hold and stop him. They barely stopped him from stealing 2020, and everything was rigged in his favor after that. The US is in real trouble.
Quote:That's more or less Putin's playbook on how he annexed crimea.
Quote:6billion for acquiring greenland, but no money for helping to fix the economy or adding universal healthcare.
Quote:So we got bribery money but we don't have money to feed poor children or give everyone health care? I'm at the point where I want to stop paying my taxes. Fuck this horse shit.
Quote:Tax dollars hard at work, I'm glad we cannot have health care or pay for education.
$6 billion is literally a rounding error for the federal government's annual spending. It's also a rounding error for annual spending on health care and education by all levels of government.

Congratulations, you've given this far more thought than Trump and the GoP has. Quote:Wouldn't this cause huge inflation, among many other problems?
Not how inflation works, especially if they became American.
Quote:This sounds like a good sign the fact that they are considering money instead of war means they know attacking Greenland won't end well for them.
