Aw, beans! I'm the only person with this full name, weirdly enough. Ever, as far as I can tell.

FWIW I don’t think that AI is an existential threat, nor on track to become one. I do however think that the leaders of the biggest AI companies, AI’s strongest boosters, and some of the folks who are most adept at using it to exploit others are actively hastening along OTHER existential threats.

It was never public, though. It’s always been controversial in Iceland for that precise reason.

There's a really simple fact underlying a ton of problems that have been getting worse lately, which is that a lot of our social structures actively harm people who show empathy. Worse, the advocacy for change that has actually worked is always "well, these people should be less empathetic, then".

Has the government considered how much more cool going on the internet will be for kids when it's a crime?

Swedish soldiers on Danish territory ... and they're _not_ invading? That really is unusual.

I seriously don't know how to explain to people that it is not in fact a sign of maturity and democracy to peacefully debate whether certain groups of people should be allowed to exist

Marco Rubio just made the argument, bold faced, not a mistake an intentional statement, that at any time the US can revoke your visa and then you are instantly here illegally and they can arrest you, deport you, torture you, all without any due process. That means the United States is simply unsafe

i think we should be more alarmed about this kind of thing as an ideological data point indicating who is actually running the country

we are under an admin that is full throated in stating that e.g. "if you so much as joke about our legitimacy and supremacy, then you are are functionally a terrorist who deserves to be gulag'd" so i struggle to see how decorum of speech on a microblog is a serious issue to debate right now!

I was struck by a thought that honestly terrifies me: Isn't the CDC in Atlanta one of the targets of the DOGE cuts? Isn't that also where they're storing variola?

These threats remind me of something I've read about before, but I keep being told drawing parallels with 80–100 years ago is unhelpful.

“Sex work can’t be work because it’s exploitative and is has so much violence.” Wait until you hear about working under capitalism, you’ll flip your shit.

I am so fucking mad that knowing what /pol/, GamerGate, and the Dark Enlightenment are makes me genuinely informed on the policy making decisions of the federal government. These people weren't supposed to leave the computer!

i think "an effective altruist is personally denying twenty million people their HIV medications despite a court order telling him to send the money" is a pretty good summary of effective altruism as a real world philosophy

I think @goldwagnathan.bsky.social was the person who made this point but because we have collectively accepted Nazism is The Worse Thing in the World (correctly!) this means that clearly it's not mainstream and no one important could support it, and if you accuse them of such you're a hysteric.

The clearest evidence to me that human brains have some irreconcilable differences comes from the popularity of the idea that the only button a microwave oven needs is +30 seconds and how that doesn't fit at all with how much I would hate such a microwave with a passion.

I can't help but wonder if the name they have is something obviously fake, like Daniel Cooper.
