AI and the Redefinition of Violence

The hosts use an AI tool to investigate whether "undue alteration of text" is considered violence. While the AI provides a wishy-washy answer, the dictionary definition includes the alteration of wording in text as a form of violence. They conclude that platforms like Wikipedia and AI algorithms are participating in a form of systemic violence by rewriting history and controlling the flow of information through hidden code.

Denise Majette, 2002 Georgia Primary Controversy

The hosts review the Wikipedia entry for Denise Majette, who defeated Cynthia McKinney in 2002. They note that Majette's win was attributed to "crossover Republicans" voting in the Democratic primary to oust McKinney due to her 9/11 comments. They argue that McKinney was a "voice of truth" who was systematically removed from power for being a headache to the establishment.
