In the middle of a small project I was doing with GPT a few weeks ago (failing to convert sheet music to MIDI), I had a good chat with it about ethics, the singularity, the stealing of the libraries and works of humanity, and right-wing bias training of AI models.

It was quite a good chat, so I decided to post it.

At the moment, I am quite optimistic about AI's future with humanity, but I am sure some billionaire owned corporation will come along and fuck that up somehow.

If you want to follow the real story of the Nazi Regime tariffs, ignore the headlines and watch his crypto exchange and the valuation of its so-called “stablecoin,” USD1. He’s already made $550 million on another World Liberty cryptocurrency, WFLI.

At the same time the Nazi Regime has been imposing trade-strangling tariffs on everything from bras to beer, he has stripped the FTC and FEC of any ability they once pretended to have to regulate crypto currencies and exchanges, creating a wild west free market in those imaginary “investment vehicles.”

Follow the funny money and ask yourself this question: where are the tariffs on crypto?
