You really need to watch Red Dwarf
- I was just on my way mention this 😅
- Absolute first thing I thought of.
I’m partial to the theory that Kennedy’s head spontaneously exploded, a rare but not unheard-of phenomenon, and the authorities hurried to find and frame some schmuck for shooting him, because the idea that an assassin could kill the President would lead to far less existential terror and mass panic than the idea that the President’s head could spontaneously explode without explanation, as could anybody else’s.

- My favourite theory. "His head just did that"
- Kennedy suddenly dreamed up a basilisk
- That’s a dangerous idea you’re playing with
  
  "DROP YOUR IDEA AND SLOWLY BACK AWAY"
- I have a similar but distinct theory.
"AI" doesn't understand how guns work. There's a dial sight on the bolt ...
- That's actually a comforting fact, honestly.
  
  THAT'S BECAUSE WE DON'T NEED GUNS TO KILL HUMANS. I MEAN THEY DON'T NEED GUNS.
  
  Guns used by AI would be designed to be used by AI. We already have automatic nerf and paintball turrets which to me says even if I haven't seen one, it exists for real guns too. Such a device would be perfect for AI control. Perfect in some strange sense anyway...
- And the barrel extension/trunnion has dials too ...
Is an a.i. derivative image of a political figure considered art or a political figure? I'll poll my fellow mods on the rule 4. Interesting. Because this is the issue in Hollywood. I'll vouch for you, Stamets.
- I don't see "AI" being a relevant factor here, it should be treated the same as if it was drawn, photoshopped or otherwise.
  
  Although I don't know the full intention of the rule as it was originally created, I assume the intention to be avoiding political debate here. One of the easiest ways to accomplish this is by banning political figures, no questions asked, but that also prohibits a bunch of content that is unlikely to result in political debate.
  
  At the same time, we have
  
  Exceptions may be made at the discretion of the mods
  
  so I would consider this an exception on that ground.
- Genuinely didn't even realize this was AI until it got pointed out. If you wanna remove it I totally understand and you have my apologies.
- IMO this post stays. It breaks the letter of the rule but does not break the intent of the rule.
  
  Honestly didn't even realize it was AI until it got pointed out. My genuine apologies. If y'all wanna remove it then I totally get it
If you are wondering who actually shot Kennedy. The shooter is you and me Source
- Mea culpa, I was slightly bored and severely confused.
pictures for sad children.
Fuck you, Oliver Stone.
I knew it, I'm finally not alone
