Do these people talk to anyone in the real world
by all indications “literally all of society mildly likes this abominable scam homunculus” is much closer to the truth. I don’t see how you can win if you are actively in denial about the reality you’re resisting

as so often, the explanation is probably 'animals feel emotions that are similar to ours, and when we disregard the evidence to avoid 'anthromorphism' it's fundamentally ideological, not scientific'
this might be the saddest story I've ever written, about a seal that I will be thinking about for a long, long time.

All of this water pollution is coming from local agriculture. Trying to frame this as an AI problem is blatant reactionary fearmongering.

A left without an exciting, inspiring vision of the future is one that will lose.
The idea that they "destroy communities" is absolutely absurd, and one of the top priorities of the left should be rolling out tons of solar, which is absurdly cheap now. Expensive electricity is a policy choice.

i think tech and ai positive people are going to be in for a big shock when anti tech and anti ai sentiment becomes a major part of leftwing politics going forward especially as datacenters continue to destroy communities and raise electricity bills
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

Gates Foundation IP maximalism killed a ton of people when pepfar and HIV prevention was spinning up but that was long enough ago that it's forgotten now :)
Gates insistence on prioritizing intellectual property rights before distributing the COVID vaccine definitely resulted in unnecessary deaths of children.

Rolling Stone recently ran a really terrible headline that lets a huge environmental bad guy off the hook for giving people cancer. I'm already ratioing them on Twitter but would appreciate some eyes here as well
You absolutely need to change this headline. It's unacceptable and disrespectful to the people harmed by the pollution.
This article itself makes it clear that the water pollution linked to cancer and miscarriages is coming entirely from nitrate pollution from farms.

There's this whole image of nazi eugenics as evil scientists doing science without checks, but in reality what "science" happened was usually incompetent and driven by cruelty, and so fucking much of eugenics was about rejecting modern medicine as an "unnatural" boon to those who would otherwise die
American “public health” has been fully remade into the eugenics based view that the weak will die and the strong survive. This is fascism 101 and it’s the use of natural methods to enact genocide.
It’s a form of auto genocide and part of MAHAs expressly murderous plan globally.

He is digging around again -- not clear if its another book/or expanded paperback version. Was asking me all sorts of questions about why you hired Ken Starr. I told him I had no idea - I think he is doing some Trump-related digging too.
