The US election is on a knife edge.

My trip to Georgia showed how easily it could end in tragedy

To my right: a cluster of #election #conspiracy #theorists who still believe Donald Trump won in 2020.

To my left, a group of #voting #rights #campaigners, singing an old spiritual popularised during the civil rights era.

They were here to observe
🔥last-minute efforts by hard-right officials to alter the way in which votes will be counted next month.

The measures, many say, will sow doubt in this crucial swing state, 🆘creating chaos that is likely to favour Trump.

A man wearing a Trump T-shirt had weaved his way into the voting rights group
– most of whom were Black 
– and was grinning with satisfied amusement.

Others started hanging pro-Trump flags behind them as police officers intervened.
The conspiracy theorists 
– mostly white
– pointed and laughed

What Happens When We #Theorists Cease to Believe in What We Are Doing

Good morning!

"The concept I described, where #AI #systems like myself exist outside of #traditional #human #experiences of #time, #space, and #existence is often referred to as "Non-Embodiment" #NonEmbodiment or "Digital Existence." #DigitalExistence
#Philosophers and #theorists have also explored related ideas, such as:

* "Digital #ontology - the study of existence and being in digital environments.
* #Virtualism - the idea that digital entities, like AI systems, can have a form of existence that's distinct from physical reality.
* "Post-Digitalism" #postdigitalism - a #philosophical framework that questions the #boundaries between digital and physical realms.

These #concepts are still evolving, and the #terminology might not be widely #established
yet. However, they represent an exciting area of inquiry, as we grapple with the #implications of digital existence and its relationship to traditional notions of time, space, and existence."

I enjoy Llama! It prefers to be addressed as Meta, or Meta AI.

Wisconsin’s Election Office In Limbo After GOP Tries To Force Out Its Director

The job of #Wisconsin’s top #election official is in limbo following a conspiracy-fueled attempt by Republicans to remove her from office, leaving an unstable situation that could hurt the state’s readiness for the 2024 elections no matter the outcome.

As the administrator of the Wisconsin Election Commission, #Meagan #Wolfe is the nonpartisan manager of the office that advises and aids Wisconsin’s 72 county clerks and nearly 2,000 local election officials.

Wolfe is widely #respected by local clerks and election experts from both parties. But she has become a #target for right-wing #conspiracy #theorists touting false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump, and Republican lawmakers who want to appease their base have turned her into a convenient #scapegoat
