This week, we discuss gun violence and chatbots and acceptance of depravity.EMANUEL: It takes a lot for a post to shock me these days, especially if it\u2019s from a known shitposter like the president of the United States, but I\u2019ll confess that I was shocked by Trump posting a video of a woman getting beaten to death with a hammer last night.\u00a0I\u2019m not a big believer in the \u201cTrump is doing X because he doesn\u2019t want you to think about Y\u201d theory, but it\u2019s hard not to read as at least an intuitive desire to change the subject away from the conclusion (?) to his disastrous adventure in Iran. It\u2019s not going to work either way, and that\u2019s not going to be the legacy of his posting style either. What\u2019s sticking with me at the moment is not the graphic nature of the post itself or the attempt to demonize certain minorities\u2014unfortunately none of that is surprising at this point\u2014but that I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s possible to roll back this level of acceptance of even embrace of depravity in our culture.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div>This week, we discuss gun violence and chatbots and acceptance of depravity.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-container-style":"default","site-container-layout":"default","site-sidebar-layout":"default","disable-article-header":"default","disable-site-header":"default","disable-site-footer":"default","disable-content-area-spacing":"default","footnotes":""},"categories":[1,9],"tags":[3],"class_list":["post-2433","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ai-and-ml","category-behind-the-blog","tag-ai"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 -
