Summary
President Joe Biden commuted the sentences of 37 federal death row inmates to life without parole, sparing all but three convicted of high-profile mass killings.
Biden framed the decision as a moral stance against federal executions, citing his legal background and belief in the dignity of human life.
Donald Trump criticized the move as senseless, vowing to reinstate the death penalty.
Reactions were mixed: some victims’ families condemned Biden, while others supported his decision. Human rights groups praised it as a significant step against capital punishment.
It’s not a matter of it being fake or real, it’s that we’ve already passed the threshold where it’s not remotely worth the time to figure out: you are on the wrong side of the value proposition as it relates to time. 4 years ago it was preposterously easy to detect AI slop. Now? Now not so much. It’s 10x easier to make and 10x easier to detect, and seems to have been doubling in difficulty about every 6-8 months. Simple enough to"just Google and do a bunch of research to confirm something is or isn’t AI garbo"? No, that’s what an idiot would do. Or what someone who either a) doesn’t value their time, or b) their time has no value.
It’s not worth the effort whatsoever. Simply rejecting at a higher rate is a much better strategy. Sometimes you’ll have false positives, but such is life. It is far less costly and has the same if not better outcomes.
