BBC: Meta AI searches made public - but do all its users realise?
"That may be happening to some users of Meta AI without them realising, as people's prompts to the artificial intelligence tool - and the results - are posted on a public feed....
This means some people may be unwittingly telling the world about things they may not want others to know they have searched for - such as asking the AI to generate scantily-clad characters or help them cheat on tests."

Can you tell this politician receives no money from AIPAC?
A lot of Americans do not understand how stupid all this anti-Iran sabre-rattling is. The USA must not invade Iran, regardless of what bribes our politicians get.
Remember Iraq? America was very successful at invading Iraq, but utterly failed when it came to the occupation. A lot of Americans forget that. We spent many years and massive amounts of debt on a failed enterprise.
Experts say you need one soldier for every 50…

Iran has a bigger GDP, a bigger military, everything about invading Iran would be orders of magnitude more difficult than invading Iraq, and the resulting occupation would similarly be far more disastrous.
Anyone seriously entertaining a war with Iran is either delusional, or out to deliberately ruin the USA.
We have now reached the point where Dems are attacking Trump FROM THE RIGHT on the issue of Iran. They think he isn't aggressive ENOUGH.

The Shift: Schumer attacks Trump from the right on Iran
Senator Chuck Schumer evidently thinks the Democrats’ best strategy is attacking the Trump administration from the right on this issue. Meanwhile, The pro-Israel camp is capitalizing on the Boulder, Colorado attack to demonize the Palestine movement.Michael Arria (Mondoweiss)
The idea of the USA invading and occupying Iran is every bit as insane as the Russian federation invading and occupying Poland.
I used to assume that the sabre-rattling was just empty threats to influence the international stage, but now that Trump is back in the White House, we cannot take for granted that sanity will prevail, not even among Dems.
Any politician pushing for hostility with Iran should be treated with hostility by voters. Invading Iran would be a massive disaster.
