There are genuinely useful things that this tech can do and the reflexive belief that this is all inherently bad or has absolutely no use is one that is going to result in the unilateral disarmament of the left in technology spaces. It's a force multiplier when you know what you're doing.

I spent more time on this piece than almost anything else I've written in the last year. Building a better, more decentralized internet is an inherent necessity if you want a functioning democracy. I hope people find it a useful encapsulation of where we're at.

One of the more misogynistic takes currently trending in the AI policy space is "women use less AI than men because they have less tech literacy" Ok but have you considered that women use less AI than men because we have more tech literacy?

No matter who you are, if you are running a platform or a making a product that collects user data, you need to have a plan for what happens when the government shows up and asks for it, you need to share that policy with that users, and publish a transparency report.

We Need A More Serious Discussion About Suicide And AI Chatbots
As someone who thinks a lot about AI and suicide, I was disappointed with John Oliver’s recent episode of Last Week Tonight on “AI Chatbots.” The segment boiled down to this: chatbots exploit vulnerable people, drive them toward delusion and harm, and AI companies aren’t meaningfully trying to fix them. If anything, as John Oliver suggested, that’s part of the business model.

The desperate campaign to push AI down our throats is just what Nestlé did with baby formula, or Monsanto with patended seeds. Manufactured Intermediation—inserting a corporate tollbooth into a process that used to be self-sustaining, using a low initial barrier to entry to destroy the alternative.

Trump was beatable, always has been, but the Democratic coalition has been unreliable and easily fractured - and tends to stay home. Hillary could have won if Democrats and Indies had just clenched their teeth and pulled that lever instead of Jill Stein and Gary what's his name

I just wish everyone would stop treating "getting lots of likes and shares" as either a way to confirm that a statement is true or a permission slip to not care if it's true. Everyone does it across the spectrum, not just MAGA, and it's going to destroy our country.

There is a reasonable path back. Everything doesn't have to be all existential all the time. 👴🏻"If we even have elections!🤡" We are having elections. 👴🏻"The GOP is going to try dirty tricks!🤡" So? The GOP always tries dirty tricks. Always. There has never been a modern election where they didn't.

Americans suffer from a desperate need to believe in the inherent goodness of the American electorate--the idea that a voter in 2024--after nearly a decade of unfiltered, widely broadcast, deeply fascist rhetoric from Donald Trump--was simply "tricked" by a Facebook algorithm or a Fox News segment.
