Please stop using ChatGPT in general, but also, please, please stop using it and then taking what it says to you as fact. It's usually wrong! It doesn't fact check itself. It just creates approximations of information based on other text! It's basically magnetic poetry that sets the world ablaze.

"The result of a lack of true skepticism and criticism is that the tech industry has become captured by people that are able to create their own phony and comfortable realities"
Newsletter: The tech media needs to move away from optimism and dreaming about what AI (and AGI) can do, and start focusing on the dangerous financial crises brewing. Failing to hold the powerful accountable is cowardice, and actively harmful to society.

The Phony Comforts of AI Optimism
A few months ago, Casey Newton of Platformer ran a piece called "The phony comforts of AI skepticism," framing those who would criticize generative AI as "having fun," damning them as "hyper-fixated o...

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

This is the danger of memes. This right here.

Not trying to stan for banks, obviously, and it's not like banking is easily *accessible* to everyone but lord almighty where the heck are people getting the idea that bank accounts are "expensive"

So many free options. Plus credit unions!
Young men don't open bank accounts. They are too expensive. They download coin base or Robinhood app and buy crypto. That's their savings

If one party pushes that number higher. They vote for em. Gensler/Biden caused those savings to go down. The demo with the biggest change was young men
This is legit the dumbest thing I've ever seen him say

Hey, it's almost like these abortion restrictions aren't actually pro-life after all!
Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, our analysis shows.

As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.
Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.
ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

Still too early to call it fascism?
And here we go -- Fox News is now saying we should get rid of "due process" because it's too cumbersome.

The stupidest thing you can do to try to be masculine is hating women. That's not what masculinity is, my dudes.

When our fathers and grandfathers said things to us like "be a man", posting on internet forums about how much feminists are ruining your video games isn't what they had in mind.

No one who's trying to destroy the Department of Education has ever spent three minutes in a public school, and neither have their children or their grandchildren. None of the people destroying any of our valued public services have ever relied on them.

The guy whose daddy bought his way into Wharton, the guy whose grades were so shitty he's never disclosed them – that guy just destroyed the Department of Education. This is what dystopia looks like. This is what Fascism looks like.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

When you removed populations from the category of human rights, are you removing them from the category of human?
The annual State Department human rights report “will remove all sections covering the rights of women, LGBTQ+ people, and the disabled as well as sections dedicated to discrimination against indigenous people and corruption in government.”

He also removed sections on women, people with disabilities, and government corruption.

When you assume bad things are always done in secret, it can take much too long to realize proclamations of ill intent are serious.

I think this is the hang-up.
