brooklynpsu.bsky.social @brooklynpsu.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Also, at its core, I think the debate here is whether it matters how we win, or just that we win. It's similar to the Platner debacle. Generally speaking, any Dem would be better than Susan Collins. But there has to be a line right? And I think we all agree on that. It's just where is that line. 010
brooklynpsu.bsky.social @brooklynpsu.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I agree that, ultimately, it's the candidate that makes the decisions (I assume you're saying Lis gave the advice; it's up to James whether to listen). However, just going after the candidate won't prevent this from happening again; making certain consultants politically toxic might. 210
brooklynpsu.bsky.social @brooklynpsu.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I don't begrudge anyone for wanting to burn it all down when they're being sacrificed by their supposed allies for political expediency. That said, I wish the focus was on the strategist pushing this anti-trans shit, rather than on the candidates (e.g. "I won't vote for any Dem who hires X"). 120

brooklynpsu.bsky.social @brooklynpsu.bsky.social · 30/07/2026That's my view as well. As LLM's don't have free speech rights, I don't see this as a speech issue. To the extent xAI wants to claim the LLM's speech as their own, go for it, but I'm sure that's not their position. 220
brooklynpsu.bsky.social @brooklynpsu.bsky.social · 30/07/2026That preference is because I think that's more likely to be upheld, not because I think strict liability is unreasonable for a product that when used as intended creates massive harm. 110
brooklynpsu.bsky.social @brooklynpsu.bsky.social · 30/07/2026If it were me, I'd have created a secondary/vicarious liability cause of action that expands on existing laws targeting users creation of non-consensual images. It would mirror secondary/vicarious liability for copyright infringement (see Sony v Universal City Studios and A&M Records v. Napster). 100
brooklynpsu.bsky.social @brooklynpsu.bsky.social · 30/07/2026But this law doesn't restrict the users speech, they're free to do all the examples you gave. They just have to create those images without AI. Courts have been wary about applying PL to software or non-physical harm, but I don't think it's an offensive to try to apply the PL framework here. 100
brooklynpsu.bsky.social @brooklynpsu.bsky.social · 30/07/2026It's strict liability because the state is treating this as a product liability situation, right? What's the specific concern with applying PL to AI products? With regards to the free speech implications, who is the speaker? Based on your example, I'm assuming you think it's the user? 200
brooklynpsu.bsky.social @brooklynpsu.bsky.social · 29/07/2026These are supposed to be pilot stores. I don't think it would be unreasonable to limit it to folks in the local neighborhood. Basically, you sign up like getting a library card (i.e. by showing a bill with your address on it). 000

brooklynpsu.bsky.social @brooklynpsu.bsky.social · 02/07/2026From a strictly political stand point, it seems like there's no upside to announcing before the midterms.
