Det er strengt tatt umulig å forstå hvordan folk kommer dit? Greit nok med de som er fascistiske svin i utgangspunktet, men hvordan skjer dette med helt vanlige folk?

Kanskje noen voksne i landet kunne reflektert litt over at hvis du serverer utgått kylling til en gjeng med lærere eller leger, så får du kjeft, mens hvis du gjør det til politifolk blir du kasta på glattcelle og anmeldt? www.nrk.no/nyheter/kvin...

The man who took out full page ads demanding the death penalty for five Black and Latino teenagers falsely accused of rape is out here worried that the seven majority white Cornell frat boys accused of rape "won't get a fair shake".

I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

Gone are the mass raids and militarized metro operations. Gone are the pomp and pageantry. But ICE arrests have hit record levels. ICE operations are no longer concentrated in large American cities. Immigration enforcement officials are also working in suburban and rural areas, all across the US.

I'm not saying the term "agent" was chosen as a means to diminish the importance of understanding and protecting our own human agency but I'm also not /not/ saying it.

The thing is, that given the choice of being outside the tank, that is infantry, and being inside the tank, your chances are much better inside the tank. Most tanks are not blown up. They are immobilised and abandoned. Look at the casualties for infantry, this is where it is really dangerous

I think the thinking is that they are safer inside the tank than outside. Which I think is correct

Straight talk time: Doomerism is BORING. It's the same fantasties rehashed over and over again, just louder each time. And with each iteration it seems that new audiences are being reached, and a new group of people needs to be talked down from unnecessary fear. >>

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

So how about this for a "pause AI" proposal: "pause credulous AI reporting". No more media about "breakthroughs" or "rogue agent swarms" or ... UNLESS and UNTIL that media demands the actual empirical evidence and/or focuses on the motivations of & harms by these companies.

Først og fremst er det en ekstrem påstand fra deres side. En slik påstand krever at de har veldig gode beviser for at det er tilfelle. Har de slike bevis? Er det noen i pressen som noen gang spør de om disse bevisene? Press de!

it’s wild that the heritage foundation wrote in text that the assault on trans woman particularly in sports is their first step in their efforts to completely abolish all Title IX protections and liberals still don’t believe it’s about more than trans women in sports

Job applicants are using AI to write resumes and prep interview answers. Companies are using AI to screen those applications and conduct initial interviews. We’ve officially automated both sides of a process meant to measure human connection. The irony is genuinely unreal.

The most surprising realization I had in the last years was how important it is to be public about your refusal to participate in harmful acts therefore giving others "permission" to do so as well. It really matters.

A good rule of thumb: If the press release (or stenographic news reporting masquerading as journalism) says that an "AI" did something, that's deliberate obfuscation. Software doesn't do anything of its own accord, but folks sure like to talk about it as if it does: >>
