I don't think so. Mostly bombing type stuff. Anything up close is "gun" violence. A few shootings, which school should be preparing them for anyway. 🫠

Maybe? Probably depends on the 8 year old. There's a fair amount of pretty heavy war imagery.

I think that describing LLMs as cult leaders is pretty accurate. The way they isolate individuals and distort reality though unmitigated praise and unfounded encouragement for those folks is all straight out of the cult leader playbook.

a very sound argument imo is he does not know anything about computers and either thinks terminator is real or thinks he can grift stupid tech people by arguing terminator is real. you don’t need to dignify it

One defining characteristic of centrist dems is an absolute lack of an ability to judge character. It's especially insane given that between supporting trans rights and Palestinian freedom there are two pretty good indicators in every political platform.

As an extremely online anti-fascist I often get asked about how I can identify red flags so quickly and this thread is a great primer on just one of the many areas that you can learn a little about to make yourself more aware of fascist and nazi tropes that are becoming more common.

Most of the cities around here have been pretty captured by the tech oligarchs. Much more so on the peninsula, but even in the east bay you're seeing it. Cities operating like businesses in search of tech partners than civil services concerned with the welfare of their residents.

Just a tip for anyone outside of the San Francisco Bay Area. If your local politicians are modeling anything on the city of San Francisco and Mayor Lurie, it's likely to be right-wing policy draped in aw-shucks centrism. RECOGNIZE THE SIGNS AND TAKE ACTION.

This is an extremely solid, brief commentary on the situation with City and the EPL. The scale of malfeasance on display is mind boggling, and the response from the sporting world should be equal in measure.

The Cornell case has really changed my opinion on one thing. I used to feel like chemical castration was an extreme option, but I think it's entirely appropriate for the enablers. Mechanical castration should be reserved for the seven.

There's shades of this with every new technology, but usually that fervor burns out before any damage is done. It would be like if when they figured out how to do colored lighting in videogames every game going forward was just some variation on Seizure Inducing Rainbow: The Game forever.
