You cannot respect authority and respect yourself at the same time.

If a business is using them, yes.

One star reviews on Yelp.

So they have money to brutalize children but not to teach them.

Something really bad is waiting for me there

Or it disproportionately kills the most economically oppressed like always, spreads paranoia and destroys community trust, leading to another right wing surge.

Totally what happened. We now have a leftist president and congress. The right wing is all dead.

Being “canceled” often seems to benefit someone in the long run, if they can keep it together and not respond by making grievance their entire online identity. In a sense it’s just attention and an opportunity for greater exposure.

Either way, you’re going to die someday. If there’s something you would like to do before that, you shouldn’t let fear of disapproval stop you.

““The physical threats and the harassment represent something new in our society and something that’s quite disturbing, and I think it’s a danger,” Alito concluded.”

These are just not new things at all in US society. Maybe he thinks it’s new because he’s never experienced it before. But it shows a profound ignorance of American history to say something like that.

The level of trust that implies, though!

Meta is an evil company. How many ways do they have to show that before people catch on?

Not knowing where you are, it’s hard to say. But you might as well start with whatever is most accessible to you. Getting involved will help you get to know who’s doing what and how in your area. I will say it’s usually easier to move from less to more radical groups than the other way around, so if you’re shopping around, you might want to start with a more mainstream group.

This is why I hate linear planning. Pick an end goal and devise a process for approaching said goal. Correct the process as needed along the way.

Doesn’t fit in a gant chart, though, so my boss never listens.

I think things are getting worse faster because the people in power know the cat’s out of the bag. They’re trying to grab everything they can and to fortify themselves against the backlash they know is coming for them.

We have these midterms and then the Presidential election in a couple years. Unfortunately, things will get even worse before they get better. But if we aren’t building the power to actually seize opportunities when they arise, we’ll fail to recover at all. Organizing is the best thing we can do.

The best part of the article is that it’s literally their job to make sure Copilot is successful at tasks like making boobs bigger and shortening skirts, etc.

It’s the new steam power!

People will literally move to Israel to avoid going to therapy.

Just imagine how many different ways of being human and ways of organizing communities have existed in that time. The oldest civilizations we know of are just barely detectable anymore. There’s no reason why there couldn’t be more that have simply been lost to time entirely.

It’s like oreos. These are the “double stuff” smartphones, haha.

Governments around the world fund cancer research. Cancer charities are among the best funded. There’s a lot of money going into curing cancers.

If you put LLMs in everything, eventually when something good happens, then someone can pretend it was because of the LLM!

Cancer doesn’t get cured by ideas alone, the most demanding part of the job is actually testing the treatments, which takes a huge amount of money, time, and effort. No technology will change the fact that you need to wait 10 years to see if a treatment can prevent the cancer from coming back for 10 years.
