I say this as someone whose entire job is finding the narrow use cases in which AI is actually useful:
All the fear about AI, all the reluctance to adopt it, is entirely legitimate, and a product of the fact that it's been foisted on the public with no consideration of its negative externalities.

I continue to have no sympathy left for whinging about how the public are rude about AI and feel threatened by it when the biggest players in the AI space have spent years very vocally and constantly *threatening the public*

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.
All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties.

Last night was our latest home buyout, $300 worth of candy and snacks, then we spotted a vendor out in the cold and rain and bought all his chips and elotes passed them out to folks taking shelter in the library. Tonight we’re buying 20 dozen tamales. Ride Bikes. Chicago Winters. Spread Joy. 🤙🏽

Writers belonging lies in thresholds of air. In doorways. In the halt. They root themselves in living & leaving. On the horizon that stings & the proximity that steadies. Their chosen ground is the almost illicit border where worlds blur. Or begin.

When Zohran Mamdani won, pundits tried to say it was a fluke.
Joke’s on them. In Jersey City, voters not only turned out in force to elect a new mayor, but for the first time ever, the Jersey City Council will have a Working Families Party majority.

You’re allowed to say “Merry Christmas” but you’re still not allowed to emulate Christ.
DHS ordering a church to take down a nativity scene!?
Wait, so is Trump waging a WAR ON CHRISTMAS!? I’ve been warned about this for years by Fox News!

ICE’s acting director ordered a Boston Catholic parish to tear down its Advent Nativity scene—stripped of baby Jesus and branded with the message “ICE WAS HERE.” The parish priest is refusing, citing he pope’s call to stand with migrants. It's another chapter in Kristi Noem's war on Christians.

A huge night for Democrats:
—They flip Miami's mayorship.
—They flip a state House district in Georgia that had voted Trump by 13%.
—They keep Albuquerque's mayorship, while the liberal faction flips city council.
—And they get big overperformances (+18 & +22) in 2 Florida specials.

So it's AI propaganda
You deliberately chose to make your process more grueling and stupid to get a lower quality result and convince people we should accept AI

Imagine taking more time than it would take to do something traditionally. I bet it would take a builder longer to build a house out of jelly instead of brick, because jelly isn't brick.

It does seem like Australian governments don’t see children as rights-bearing people who deserve evidence-based laws that respect their autonomy and need for connection & community, and allow them the space to mature and learn.
“Let them be kids!”
But Victoria passed the Adult Time for Violent Crime legislation which can send 14 year olds to adult jails.
Which is it you want them to be? Adults or children?
Or simply not seen or heard at all?
