AI Getting Out Of Hand Already?

Between the chats, deepfakes, voicefakes, and the art...

I feel like it already is. I feel like in the coming years, people will be getting tricked into thinking this stuff is real and legit and they will fall for it. Wasn't there something in the bible about this, being deceived with your eyes and ears?

Scary times. I think it is important everything keeps an eye on this technology and learns to spot fakes.

No Clearer Indication

Biden is yet again giving MORE money to Ukraine while actively ignoring Ohio and doing nothing to help those people.

He should be sending that town money so those people could find a place to stay until the damages are clean. It just makes me take a step back and reminds me of all the failed attempts to "pretend to fix" problems in cities by democrats. All they do is lie, lie, lie. How long have places been with unsafe drinking water? How many buildings and streets have gone unkempt and broken down, not even safe to use or live in? But sure... Ukraine needs OUR money.

All this money they send to that place could have been used to fix OUR cities and pay our reparations.

Good to know sending money to nazis is more important than helping your own citizens, Joe! Well done KKKamala.

Michael Jordan and Jordan Brand Award $2.3M in New Black Community Commitment Grants

In celebration of Michael Jordan’s 60th birthday, Michael Jordan and the Jordan Brand announce $2.3M in Community Grant awards to 48 grassroots organizations across the United States to help create more equitable futures for Black people.

The 2023 round of community grantees includes 43 new organizations, along with a re-investment in five organizations that were awarded grants in 2021, including 1Hood Media, Mortar Cincinnati, Love Now Media, Revolution Workshop, and Good Call NYC.

Inspired by the notion that movements to create systemic change have limitless potential at the local level, Jordan Community Grants, a program of the Black Community Commitment (a 10-year, $100M joint commitment between Michael Jordan and Jordan Brand), were first given in 2021 and awards one-year grants to organizations leading sustainable solutions in their cities.
“We believe that these community organizations aren’t just local changemakers, but that they are dreamers, makers of generational bonds, and neighborhood leaders with an authentic understanding of how together they can create transformative change,” says Craig Williams, Jordan Brand President.

In order to be eligible, grassroots 501(c)(3) organizations must have an operating budget of less than $3M and share a tie to one of the Black Community Commitment’s four key pillars: economic justice (to build generational wealth in Black communities); education (to help schools adapt curriculum, diversify staff and engage in educational reform efforts that prevent discrimination); narrative change (to increase awareness of the role race plays in our history to drive a deeper understanding of the consequences of racism in our everyday lives) and social justice (to build social and political capital within the Black community by investing in and advocating for policy reform.).

How much do you spend on groceries per week?

I know some people do bi-weekly shopping while others go once a week. I do my shopping once a week. When I have the basics stocked, I was able to get a week's worth of groceries for around $65 and just yesterday, I did my shopping and the total took me back. It was $140. Prior to this, the highest I have spent since inflation started getting bad was $90. I looked over everything and the cost of the chicken I normally buy doubled. Things like sweets and candy are up 30%. All the fruit and veg I bought doubled. I knew this was a bigger list than normal but I did not expect to be paying more than $110 TOPS. What the hell is going on? It seems like everything suddenly jumped in price again this year.
