There’s gotta be some kind of β€œcrazy magnet” sucking these people in, to debase themselves, morally and physically, to the point of truly becoming aliens.

True, the line drawing has to be more favorable. BTW, read your amicus with M.L. - excellent. Concise. The museum tour guide analogy works well. πŸ’―

Idea: let’s eschew DHS’ bs. It’s β€œimprison.”

β€œDetention is short-term: an officer stops you, keeps you from leaving briefly, and may question you or do a limited search.”

β€œImprison: a person’s liberty is severely restricted: in a secure facility and cannot leave until bail or release order.”

Father claims Google's AI product fueled son's delusional spiral The case is the first wrongful death case against Google over alleged harms caused by Gemini.

Try not to be shocked by the allegations in the Gavalas lawsuit against Google/Alphabet (not the first, btw, they are defendants in the character dot ai case also).

Correct. Is the argument really that exams for doctors, lawyers and architects are censorship?

True; plaintiff’s lawyers usually plead negligence and intentional torts alternatively to keep the carriers in. If they didn’t hear, it could be strategic given Meta’s astonishing revenue & wealth.

Re_the classic story: a young revolutionary politics scholar was sipping his cappuccino at a table on the promenade when suddenly throngs of people ran by down the street. He jumped up, his friend ask,s β€œwhere are you going?” He says, β€œto find out where they are going, so I can lead them!”
