"If you were in charge of Star Trek what would you do?" Post-DS9 prime timeline sequel series to the Dominion War, in which the Romulans take advantage of their fewer losses to wipe out the Klingons and topple the Federation; who have to earn their space communism back, explicitly this time.

To be generous, they’re just taking their cue from Dem leaders. They transparently do not give a shit about sex crimes

And, again, the explanation for this kind of result is that the ai can’t *do* anything. It can’t count letters or do math. It can only generate what a reasonable answer to this question would look like, which this absolutely is. This isn’t a bug, it’s all that gen ai does.

Happy Appomattox Day to all that celebrate

I wonder what the public perception of AI would be if he never got reinstated after OpenAI fired him

A sitting Senator has more power than a grunt in the military and you pass the buck to them. You're a shithead. you know that right? Go do your job. Make a scene. Get your lazy ass back to work

The congressional obsession with vacation is gonna doom us all

Kill him.

Fuck you www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/202...

Donald Trump is an unhinged warmonger and war criminal using violence for personal gain and profit, while innocent people pay the price.   Congress must reconvene to pass the War Powers Resolution. The 25th Amendment must also be invoked. Congress has to do our damn job. War powers and Impeachment.

One of the craziest stories of the past few years is that Google had the best business on the planet. They were wildly profitable and fairly well-liked by the public. And then they burned it to the ground by going all-in on AI hype.

Is on vacation and can introduce impeachment articles whenever she wishes 👇

Every person who has spent years saber rattling and pretending Iran was some rabid because it's muslim is responsible for this. The entire permission structure exists because of a multi-decade lie fronted by think tanks and cynical politicians yearning for a civilizational enemy.

Prosecuting and purging the Republican Party was Biden’s one job. When he failed to do his duty it was just a waiting game to this moment.

for those keeping track: antizionism is antisemitism but bombing a synagogue is, of course, fine to do

yeah man i'll circle back to you on that agenda item from yesterday's all hands in just a sec. our pedophile king just threatened to destroy a whole civilization

Normal Tuesday. Got a few meetings today but not too many. President's threatening to genocide millions of people and there are folks flying around the moon in the fucking sky. Gotta take out the garbage later

Good news, folks. Everyone blaming GenAI are the best type of correct, technically correct.

Pretty interesting chain of logic which, if applied in the inverse, would functionally legitimate airstrikes on everyone in Israel or the US

Welcome to Taskmaster!!! Would you like to play a game?

much in the way new atheism simply removes the concept of “god” from a philosophical lens that is still filled with western assumptions, bce/ce maintains a largely artificial divide in human history while trying to remove reference to the historical figure/resulting movement that it’s named after

my genuine opinion: if you’re not actually going to change the dating scheme, just changing the name does more to entrench christian nationalist assumptions in historiography

under woke 2 you have to explain what your company does in one sentence or we pull your fingernails out with pliers

the frequency of people using the literal Nuremberg Defense to justify individual enlisted military committing obvious war crimes is giving me the heebie jeebies

Actually we should just give citizenship to every undocumented person in the United States who wants it. Walking over an imaginary line isn't some great moral atrocity. Making people live in the shadows as a permanent underclass absolutely IS.

They shouldnt teach history at all until 12th grade, because the fairy tale nationalist version kids get before that colonizes most of their brains forever. Forget deprogramming college freshmen, people go to their graves believing that. Just move language classes earlier and history ones later.

Unlocked a new kind of guy today

hear me out: Isaac Chotiner

This site chose Jesse Shingles over Dril. Don't know what to tell you. It deserves to die.

I wonder how much of this is the dogshit people running this place

Not a single one of these smartphone catholics is even remotely catholic and I’ve been going insane pointing it out for over a decade. They are just mean snobby big city evangelicals who think megachurches are for hicks

Means-testing also makes programs cost more than they would under a universal model, because so much money gets wasted on verification, surveillance, and compliance.

The Claude ad in front of Project Hail Mary got huge boos at the theater I was at. In San Francisco.

i vetted this to make sure it wasn’t ai so you could enjoy it fully

Also, a big thing people leave out of all of these discussions is that inequality is a driver of unhappiness. Regardless of whether living conditions are improving in general since hundreds of years ago, if inequality increases that impacts happiness and conflict

"Gotta have them ribs... and pussy too!" — God, when creating Eve

That dude is talking himself into open transphobia rn, right? His recent posts seem very “I’m progressive, but these rude kids online are making me side with the bigots”

I just think that professional writers should apologize and clarify when their phrasing causes readers to understand the opposite of what they meant to say

A parenthetical like “(which really are abuse)” is always understood to be editorializing, if it’s not he should apologize for misspeaking. Calling it a bad faith pile-on is so disengenuous

8-1. would love to hear the democratic party dead-enders spin this one for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is a shit argument, for all the liberals defending it. conversion therapy is medical malpractice. you can’t say “we can’t ban malpractice because then someone might ban proper treatments”, that’s fucking psychotic.

Andy Weir is either a moron or a closeted right winger. Either way: bad!

History is not a settled field. We remain in discussion, debate, and research on every event in the past and are likely to forever remain uncommitted to one singular “true” version of the past.

Again this demand that gender be determined not at birth or by self definition or cultural upbringing but by genetic testing is a major and radical demand for a new standard never, ever practiced by any culture in the history of the planet Earth.

This is obviously homophobic, but it’s also shitty that Gavin is going after the staffers. They, unlike Gavin and Benny, are not public figures and they deserve for their private lives to remain private

This is a good summation of the situation and opens with perhaps the most important argument as to why Black people must be paid reparations; slave owners received them. Their descendants use that wealth to advance generations of harm that entitles Black people to *even more* reparations.

I don’t think anyone has come up with a better way to start taking about communism than “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles," that’s just how you have to start
