It’s alarming to see how people who claim to be progressives and caring have adopted GamerGate and MAGAt tactics to achieve their ideological goals. His wife and son kept getting death and other threats. He also received constant threats and racism. That’s despicable.

It also doesn't actually say anything real. You can't destroy AI. It's just maths. You can't destroy maths. It's also an insanely practically useful technology that gives its users a massive leg up on those who abstain. This just isn't a practical approach for graduates to hold.

I would encourage white evangelicals in particular to not vote, just pray. Trust in God, whoever gets into office is who He wants to be there. You shouldn't try to take control and tip the scales yourself. Pray for a good president and I'm sure He'll give you one.

I love universities. But the incentive structure is badly fucked up. Anyone who teaches has had the experience of teaching a class they don't want to teach to a room of students who don't want to learn. Like with a lot of things Ai is an accelerant, but it didn't create the problem.

Trump's popularity is not stabilizing like his first term. It's continuing to deteriorate and their "you should love the stick and really a little bruising isn't a big deal" message is the worst thing I've seen in 40 years.

I'll say again, I get the PTSD over Republican attacks but the fundamentals are very strongly against them and we should have confidence in the data (not to mention recent examples like their abject failure in VAGOV). They very likely aren't going to make fetch happen this year.

On a related note, Operation Al-Aqsa Flood was one of the most delusional military actions of my entire lifetime, in addition to being a gruesome mass atrocity. Possibly the most delusional. Sinwar literally thought he'd instantly destroy Israel by overrunning and slaughtering a few small towns.
