s that other presidents definitely couldn't do and they're really, really important, that's vindication. That's what we saw on day one. The supporters, we saw it early. Some people saw it because I told you to see it and I helped you see it. But you remember what I said from the very beginning. Did I ever say this man has the best character you've ever seen? Nope. Never said that. Did I say he ha…

then you should be talking about our history in maybe not so starkly accurate ways, but rather in ways that make children want to be Americans.

If your goal is to have a strong country, should you say, you know, your heroes are actually terrible criminal bastards and you shouldn't respect them? What will that buy you? That's not buying you anything. It might be true. I'm not even going to argue whether it was true or false, but it's the wrong move.

Instead, you should say George Washington was a hero. Christopher Columbus was a great discoverer, explorer. And then you make those qualities something that children would want and then the children think, oh, if my heroes are acting that way, then I can act that way too. So Kamala Harris doesn't understand really the most basic element of her job. Her job is not to give us all the truth all the time. That's not her job.

Now, her job, if she were president, her job would be to make the country stronger and safer and more prosperous. To do that, you might need to brainwash the children into some hero worship that's not entirely based on reality because the hero worship never is. Nobody's heroes anywhere who are as good as the reputation. So the fact that Harris doesn't understand that or doesn't care because the main thing is to say bad things about white men which I think is at least part of the problem then she needs to never back a white man basically. So there's that.

Anyway, she is so dumb.

According to Joe Wilkins writing for Futurism, OpenAI has said that it's going to loosen up and allow more smut, more porn on OpenAI. Now, I assume that means things like the chat voice will say dirty things if you tell it to and you have to prove you're a certain age. So that won't take effect I guess until they can do more effective age checking. So it's not there yet, but they're going to do it.

And I saw Sam Altman, he was talking about I think it was a different topic, but it relates to this. He was talking about how i

f you know that AI is going to do a thing and there's no stopping it. And in this case, AI is definitely going to be doing porn, right? Everybody knows that and it's definitely going to be doing porn where it pretends that somebody you know is in the porn scene, maybe even with you. So you know that's going to happen. And it doesn't mean you're going to use OpenAI to do it, but there will be a bun…
