I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering the unregulated sprint to develop & deploy AI.
The moratorium will give democracy a chance to catch up, and ensure that the benefits of technology work for all of us, not just the 1%.

People say you’re driving a moral panic, that you’re blocking good regulation, that there’s no point in resisting. And then you enforce a phone ban and miracles happen (qualitatively): nymag.com/intelligence...

I don’t think it was so much that journalism was “declared feminine & invalid” as it just became almost impossible to have a career in it.
Thinking about the commonly observed phenomenon of industries losing prestige, compensation, & male pursuit when they're declared feminized. Were men pushed out by DEI or have some men turned elsewhere from demonized professions declared feminine & invalid?

This is a really neat insight into why LLMs sound Like That.
"When you see our work, what are you really seeing? Are you seeing a robot's soulless prose? Or are you seeing the image of our Standard 8 English teacher, Mrs. Amollo, her voice reminding us to connect our paragraphs with a suitable linking phrase?"

“we need to qualify if our dollars are being used wisely or not” is not right-wing rot lmao, every person, taxpayer or no, should want public schools to be as good as possible
Obsession with test scores? Right wing rot around the idea we need to qualify if our dollars are being used wisely or not!
It’s basically the same underlying problem that Stancil bitches about with non-profit motives around results!

If these people actually had the courage of their convictions they’d be trying to make King as successful of a comic book writer as possible so he doesn’t go back to the CIA and commit more war crimes.

there is a very good book about transatlantic exchange of fascist, eugenicist and racist ideas in the early 20th century and how those ideas shaped the nazi government in its early years. this has been transformed in popular understanding to "the nazis copied jim crow"
If you’ve heard the “the Nazis got their ideas from the US segregationists” I beg you to please stop. This is both false and it minimizes historical European antisemitism in a misguided attempt to emphasize the nature of US anti-Black racism.
It’s horrific without comparison to Nazism.

May I politely encourage you to reconsider this framing. It is inaccurately stated and suggests consistent and strong linkages that do not exist.
The Nazis did not “get their ideas” from confederate laws. Antisemitism and anti-Jewish laws existed in Europe long before the Confederacy…

That ad where Caitlyn Clark talks about doing things from the logo to make them easier really annoys me. Like I know she’s got great range but she still only shoots 30-40% from out there, she’s 90% from the line.

This is a hard thing to do in reverse because Celtics Shaq was so bad that he wouldn’t have made it five years in the league playing like that.
What’s the opposite of the Shaq in a Celtics uniform meme? Like a guy that went to a new place when he was older and balled out.

The nice thing about Time’s person of the year is that its vast history includes Hitler and Stalin (back to back, even!) so you don’t need to pretend it’s some sort of honor.
