A lot of tools work for both sides. That's why some authoritarians on the left and the right want to remove them. But that would be a disaster fro freedom.
Freedom is messy.

Jury Nullifcation, a critical safety valve of our legal system, long appreciated especially by conservatives and libertarians, is blocking some of Trump's actions.
The public is taking notice of the Federal government bypassing rule of law by 'Strongman' tactics.

At a frame rate of about 1 per second (primitive by current standards) the plane travelled nearly 600 feet, considering the slow sequential readout of image sensors of that day, nothing would show.
A modern camera would be much more likely to pick it up, even a a slow frame rate because the readout is very fast... but this 25 years ago with CCD sensors.
Be realistic, if the WANTED to fake a plane crash, and went to all this trouble, don't you thing they would have pasted one in???

There is a framed nude of my wife hanging in our home. It was painted years ago by an artist in Paris.

There was an article in tech site ars technica giving tips on putting down 'EV hating' family members at gatherings.
Glad I don't do any forced family events.

Actually the real danger of AI is that it is NOT truly intelligent, it's all an illusion. It cannot be trusted.
