awlieb.bsky.social @awlieb.bsky.social · 09/10/2026It really made me wonder what level of blatant antisemitism on huge signs is tolerated at protests :( 000
awlieb.bsky.social @awlieb.bsky.social · 09/10/2026The sign was at tonight’s anti-ICE protest as well, along with a cluster of similarly gross ones 100
awlieb.bsky.social @awlieb.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Maybe 🤷♀️ (I’m actually not an AI booster or fan at all, I’m just not convinced that asserting something is the same as it being true) 100
awlieb.bsky.social @awlieb.bsky.social · 09/10/2026that’s an assertion, not an argument, but that’s fine. have a great day! 100
awlieb.bsky.social @awlieb.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I’m not trying to pick a side here, but question: did you read the article? I posted it because I found it full of lots of information I did not previously know and made me question my assumptions about AI in a way that felt productive and thought-provoking. 100
awlieb.bsky.social @awlieb.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I found this article a really interesting and thoughtful discussion of how consciousness/thinking might form: www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...newyorker.comThe Case That A.I.

awlieb.bsky.social @awlieb.bsky.social · 09/10/2026This is true and terrible, and also her botched execution wasn’t LIVESTREAMED, and that really would represent a normalization and celebration of death that is a poisonous next level of the government embracing and encouraging barbarism and murder. 000
awlieb.bsky.social @awlieb.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I disagree with this take, especially the ISIS comparison, which is immediately what came to my mind when I heard the news. It’s Good In Fact to insist that horrific things, which we generally actually *don’t* do, are Not Like Us. Pointing out who does normally do them is reasonable. 010

awlieb.bsky.social @awlieb.bsky.social · 07/10/2026i could list a dozen more qs. None of these are reasons to give up, but I wish it were as easy to convert at scale as it seems like it should be. I would *LOVE* that magic wand :) 110
awlieb.bsky.social @awlieb.bsky.social · 07/10/2026These are CRITICAL qs, and not straighforward to answer on a practical level. I guess I just want to defend the local bureaucrats and pols grinding away at these things and making slow but steady progress 💕 210
awlieb.bsky.social @awlieb.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Ack — ok, as someone who worked on this stuff in local gov for a while, I just want to say — the details of implementation are not trivial or easy. How do you get a million buildings to covert to these things? Who pay, and how? 300
