The court ruled, in 1915, that the acts of MPPC constituted a conspiracy and monopoly in restraint of interstate trade, thus violating the Sherman Anti-Trust Act.
In 1909, William Selig was the first film maker to begin operations in Los Angeles according to one of your links. He wasn't Jewish. Then, in 1911, David Horsley, a producer from New Jersey, established Christie-Nestor Studios, the first movie studio established in the Hollywood community. Horsley wasn't Jewish either.
Not exactly in line with your little story.
If Hollywood was established by Jews, as everyone here seems to claim, then those two producers clearly weren't the only ones who set up shop in Los Angeles in the early days.
That's a nicely amoral attitude.
Instill healthy values in your own children, while marketing garbage to others' children.
Grok is probably the best - but it still has issues - it claims that a lot of folks being censored/limited are using “unfounded complaints” - I’m here to say it’s wrong about that....
Why bother with “news analysts” at this point? At least for 95% of them.
Just have Grok and Gemini ‘debate’...it would at least be entertaining.
I guess its not all bad.
See post 33.
Allow me to correct the record. Personally I don’t care whether Charlie Chaplin was Jewish or not. I always assumed he was and am kind of surprised to discover that that’s not the case. Goes to show you can always learn something new no matter how old you are.
Do you ever criticize anyone besides Jews?
That’s all I ever see of you.
"To help diagnose illness." = That's what doctors and tests are for. Hasn't failed me yet. Outlived everyone in my family because as the baby, I had the benefit of advanced medical technology and treatments.
"To proofread text and offer suggestions." = Again, laziness.
"To improve skills that help one to stay employed." = I'm retired, so it doesn't apply to me.
"To know whether Tyson would have beat Ali." = Who cares, I'm a 78 year old woman with more important things to worry about.
Anything I needed to know I learned from trial and error, life experiences, on the job training, two college degrees, a 25 year career, raising two sons alone, and reading many, and still reading many books. AI could never have helped me with any of that, and I'm not a weak person who thinks they need help from a non-entity.
At 78, technology or AI isn't going to enhance my life. Nor do I want or need it to. Internet, software and device technology have served a purpose, but they have also opened up a whole new world for criminals to take advantage of, and victimize people with. I'd rather be reading history books which provide sources if I want to investigate a topic further, than chat with a non-entity.
A person in this modern world who shuns technological progress is no different than a ditch digger shunning those "new-fangled steam shovels" in the early 20th century.
I don't "love" AI, and I'm concerned that we, as a society, are going to misuse it (who would board an aircraft knowing that the AI-pilot "hallucinates" reuglarly?). But I'm also no Luddite.
And some day, when a Dr. is looking at an X-ray of my lungs, I'm going to be very grateful when his AI assistant says ... "But Doctor, what about that little spot in the corner?" That AI assistant will have built into it the collective knowledge of thousands of human doctors - and it might just enable me to spend many more years enjoying the company of my own three sons.
Well, enjoy AI as you age. Hopefully, you’ll never need it to tell a radiologist you have a spot on your lung. I’m already old, and don’t need, or want it. I’m done being productive to satisfy others. Did it enough years without anybody, or anything’s help. Unless AI can get up and go to the bathroom for me every half-hour so I don’t have to, then there’s nothing it can do for me, that I can’t do for myself.
“Virtually all stereotypes, like virtually all conspiracy theories, are based on an underlying truth.”

And that “underlying truth”? Ignorance.
Psychologists call that filtering.
We only see what's important to us.
If a person buys a certain model car, they suddenly notice that same model everywhere they drive. If a psychic tells you your magic number is 5, you suddenly see 5 everywhere.
A person can write about a 100 different topics, but the one critical of Jews will stand out for you.
As the late Joseph Sobran said, If you write one critical article about Israel, you're called on it. If you write two critical articles, you're accused of being "obsessed." But if you praise Israel every week, no one accuses you of being obsessed.
