Ok… We knew all of this already. I don’t care if the video ads his voice saying “I’m going to kill you now only because I can” we had enough information to make this assessment already.

Sanewashing: the old videos clearly showed the murder was in cold blood. I strongly oppose this capitulation to the right’s framing that there was any ambiguity to begin with.

Even the stamp gesture is implicitly more genuine; receiving a card/stamp implies the effort to:

• go to a place
• review some number of cards and stamps
• select one that best expresses whatever message you want to send
• put it in the physical mail to send it

Most people won’t get that impression from an llm generated email

Ostensibly.

It’s prevents direct stimulation, but life, uh, finds a way
