Tucker Carlson made it his life's work to loose this monster on the world so I don't care to hear his little face saving pieties right now, I don't believe a word of it

How do I work through this unprecedented time I mutter to myself for the 20th time this year.

wondering if maybe elon was wrong about the relative danger of the woke mind virus

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

The rest of the world should probably collectively stand up to the U.S. right now, tbh

[Chuck Schumer scavenging through the post-apocalyptic rubble for scraps of food] He's gone too far. Someone should do something about this

It is extremely insulting that I still occasionally get told political beliefs like police abolition are "too risky to be associated with" but the republican party is out here trying to end all life on planet earth and that's an acceptable position within the Overton Window.

you have to get him out of office and you have to do it today even if it gets blocked you force an impeachment vote right now how else can you live with yourself if he follows through with this and you didn’t do everything you could to stop it

In two weeks the national press corps is going to laugh at his jokes and applaud him at their annual Hilton dinner for being a fun and interesting president to write about

Absolutely tf NOT. I will not be integrating the text-extruding plagiarism machine owned by misanthropic, world-destroying sociopaths and trained on my STOLEN BOOK into my pedagogy or research. Fuck off with this boosterism.

so the AFT is bending the knee to the people actively trying to destroy education... good to know...

New over here so introducing myself with some commentary on Artemis II!

is the GOP's mistake that they...won? And got everything they ever wanted in the process? Is that what we're worried might happen to Democrats or progressives?

oh good Lord Kentucky House impeached a judge, saying she abused her authority & was biased in favor of Black defendants their evidence? the judge's statement acknowledging the state's pattern of charging white defendants with lesser offenses and giving them better offers than defendants of color

Chapo Trap House: All politics are sexual pathology and the sexual pathology of the right is rape. The critics: PSHHHH that's too simplistic, this is a land of contrasted motives and complex individuals. Reality:

Damn Sam Altman is allegedly a sociopath? That’s crazy. You’d never be able to tell the second you looked in his eyes.

I am happy to allow a path to redemption. Call me the day a single one of these fuckers actually steps onto it instead of driving their dirt bike back through the garden and popping a vindicated wheelie.

… I’m not being funny. I’m being serious Something BAD is a foot because they spent the past four years insulting and degrading the public Using AI as a sifter for who deserved care ….. Them trying to be benevolent raises my hackles, my shields, my eyebrows and my pressure

The thing about there needing to be a path of redemption for people who have been “canceled” is: there already is a path to redemption and it’s called “redeeming yourself.” The path is open! No one is blocking that! You just have to do it!

Movements to shut down or ban data centers are amassing power and notching victories. Wikipedia has banned AI-generated content in articles. Publishers and entertainment studios are being pushed to reject AI-produced content outright. In other words: It's open season for refusing AI.

THE NUTELLA HAS COME LOOSE

NEW: University of Michigan Chinese researcher dies after allegedly "hostile questioning" by federal agents www.detroitnews.com/story/news/l...

Y'all there is a woman and a black man circling the moon and NASA's mission control+ science teams are so diverse and people are nerding out about science and exploration this is all a gigantic middle finger to the stupid and hate and grotesque ghouls running our country

yes, I am still updating it, over 20 pages of problems with AI/examples of fails etc: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Realizing that some of my inexplicable sadness about the Artemis II stuff is that it feels like a trans-dimensional communication from an America that took a different path and chose joy instead of fear and hate.

i wonder if AOC’s early clashes with the democratic establishment PLUS the unhinged reaction to her from republicans have given her some of the “both sides hate her so she must be Independent” vibe that goes a long way with low propensity voters

the 'electability' question is increasingly clear www.sosavstate.com/p/gavin-news...

Everybody who read my last thread should know about this resource on all the problems with AI

all of these "everyone's using it" pieces about writers are there to make lazy/untalented people feel better about themselves and i just want to say that any "writer" who replaces themselves with ai does not deserve to say they are a writer and should feel bad about themselves

did i not say

The two truths: 1) There is nothing wrong with porn, let people safely make it, let people safely enjoy it. 2) If you let people define porn as bad, authoritarians will ALWAYS expand the definition until their hands are around your neck.

BTS on Wired! 💜 youtu.be/5lfnT1HdmuM?...

Mos Def and Agnes Varda

this is a brave and honest piece.

When the US admits that they killed any “military-aged men” who walked within 3km of a downed pilot they mean any boy lanky enough to be a teenager and any middle-aged man able to walk unaided with a cane got shot in the head for the crime of walking.

Here me out: take all of it. Take his shirt and shoes.

An opposition party would not be on vacation right now. They would have coordinated message to the public about the fact that a President in cognitive decline is threatening more war crimes. They would be BLASTING the message on all available platforms.

Remember all this nonsense about the supposed inferiority of “third world” immigration? They really believed that and applied their theory to international relations and it failed. Racism makes you stupid.

The greatest

The current moment in tech is loosely understood as software guys getting so evil they made hardware guys discover Marxism from first principles.

my goal has been to get my ai skeptic class (tech and society) in all the ai bs my school is implementing so they at least get a counter perspective...

Isn’t it weird how “AI literacy” being pushed on students isn’t about learning how it works, the cost of how it works, learning to spot disinformation, media and tech literacy. But instead is just “employers will like it if you get it to write your emails :)”

this has to be the greatest single-game defensive performance in baseball history. especially considering they won 1-0

This is the reason Peter Thiel and his buddies killed Gawker. Writing about open secrets was the entire point of the website.

there was a time the old heads remember when the internet existed and capitalism didn't realize what it could do to the place yet the problem is capitalism the internet used to be beautiful and can be again

1. "Here's an extreme idea. We're platforming it, so that people can watch out." 2. "This idea is gaining traction. We're publishing an op-ed in favour, for balance." 3. "This idea is popular now. Why does the left refuse to consider it?"

Iran is just a country of posters

Iran just reportedly hit an Oracle data center in Dubai and i can't stop thinking about how good it would feel to see my tax dollars spent firing Tomahawk cruise missiles at data centers.

this is a brilliant idea honestly
