3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.

AI did not arise out of a real human need. It arose out of billionaires’ agenda that this is what the world needs next so they can be even richer. Everything it does, humans do better, it’s better for them to do. What’s left is that it’s causing people mental crisis, polluting, plagiarizing.
