Andy Beshear has an entire chapter in his new book about backing the LGBTQ community and it's worth a read. He talks about how the anti-trans ads were tested in KY during his election and how vetoing anti-trans legislation didn't hurt his reelection campaign.

However the anti-trans ads had less to do with Kentucky and more to do with the fact that we were in an election. Terry Schilling, the head of the APP, decided to test the ads in our election to determine whether or not the issue could win votes for the Republican Party. Earlier in the summer of 2019, Scholling had partnered with a behavioral science firm to try to find a wedge issue that resonated with suburban voters. That's right. The anti-trans ads did not come out of some firmly held conviction but was a purely political stance. Their research landed on trans athletes, specifically trans women, competing in women's sports. They tested their theory in the 2019 Kentucky gubernatorial general election. Although I won, APP considered their test successful, because their research showed the ads delivered thirteen thousand votes for Trump Lite, which made the race tighter than anticipated.

You might hask how, in this political climate, I was reelected after vetoing the anti-trans bill. Because people respect authentic faith. The day I vetoed it, I explained my why. I said I believe all children are children of God and that I don't want people picking on these kids. I then countered their anti-trans ads with commercials talking about good jobs, healthcare, roads and bridges, public education, and

public safety. The result? The biggest win of my career. So don't tell me the Democratic Party should stop fighting for the rights of all people. Just explain your authentic why, and then get back to focusing on issues that touch all our lives on a daily basis.

I feel like this thread dovetails fairly nicely with an idea I've been thinking of as "Harry Potter Is AI" Like, obviously it's not literally, it came out in 1997, but it *might as well be* in the sense that it has (or rather, lacks) value in a very similar way to AI "art".

I feel like the "AI detector" apps are becoming the 2020s equivalent of polygraph lie detectors — the disclaimer was always "remember they're only 99.99% accurate" on Ricki Lake, but the truth is it's probably closer to 50% and there's a damn good reason they're not used in court cases these days

I've built a little prototype of a game displayed via autostereogram, so you can game *and* have a migraine at the same time! In the game you can adjust the pattern width or invert it — you can't do that in a static video so I guess just resize the window until it works (or take my word for it)

Going to start a movement called Very Effective Altruism. The idea is that if human achievement is built on that of the previous generation, lifting one potential Einstein out of poverty now will give all the next generation's geniuses a head start, and the effect compounds exponentially over time.
