I don’t think you’ll get a more “on the nose” example of blowback than a guy from Afghanistan who America trained to go around executing civilians in something called a “zero squad” who later moves to America and attacks the American government. Like holy shit what the fuck are we doing here?

“When we critique AI, we should do so with intellectual honesty and in a principled way. Utmost care is needed to avoid ethics washing, greenwashing, and generally — what we dub — critical washing.”
“Reflecting on the harms of AI is not itself harm reduction. It may even contribute to rationalizing, normalizing, and enabling harm. Critical reflection without appropriate action is thus quintessentially critical washing.”

Very correct, and very important for everyone to realize.
You're not immune to propaganda. No one is. Don't go thinking you're better than everyone else, and have some immunity or inoculation against it.

This is the correct take. Stewing in white supremacist propaganda is bad for your thinking. And if think you are so savvy that it won’t impact you, you are the exact kind of mark they are slowly converting (I’m looking at you, centrist pundits).
It’s really funny how a generation will roll its eyes at parents who watch Fox News but doesn’t see why being immersed in Twitter is having the same effect. Lots of serious people show up on Fox News too but that shouldn’t be your primary source on the news.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the people bombing children are the bad guys and the people trying to deliver food and medicine to the children are the good guys.

But how will they afford universal healthcare?
NEW: ICE has torn up its $180M cap on a proposed immigrant-tracking program and is now guaranteeing private surveillance firms at least $7.5M each, with potential payouts reaching $281M per vendor. The change signals a shift from “pilot” to full-scale outsourcing of street-level investigative work.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement lifted a $180 million cap on a proposed immigrant-tracking program while guaranteeing multimillion-dollar payouts for private surveillance firms.

My mom told her physical therapist she wears a mask because her husband and daughter are immunocompromised. The PT said she is too but isn't worried bc she knows if she dies she is going to heaven. Then her co-worker yelled, “Shut up Debbie you wear a seatbelt and take blood pressure meds” 👀

Israel Shutdown a Children’s theatre Performance of "Dreams Under the Olive Tree” in Jerusalem, last night
It was so brutal that one child got so scared he vomited.
Imagine how WEAK your government has to be to FEAR and SHUTDOWN a children’s play.

Anyone else cheering on the collapse of the United States, or is it just me?
Come dork out while we zoom in on a judge’s ruling that Lindsey Halligan was illegally appointed and her actions, including prosecuting James Comey and Letitia James, are set aside. This has potentially big consequences for Trump’s revenge plans. My write-up in the replies.
