As a technology it is an absolute blight and the companies that own and control it should be held fully responsible, including criminally responsible, for every single harm.

AI has talked kids into suicide, fueled paranoid delusional that led to murder, degraded education quality in both k-12 and higher ed, run roughshod over copyright law, increased spam, fueled spam, fueled fraud, degraded the environment, put people out of work, the list goes on and on.

In both cases, life has been drastically reshaped for the worse and society is taking it with a shrug. In both cases, reasonable concerns and radical demands are treated as equally ignorable. AI is making everyone's life worse, both boosters and critics acknowledge that, but nothing is done.

The mainstream conventional wisdom in both cases is that people who are anti-AI or pro trans marginalized themselves by being too far outside the mainstream. My alternative hypothesis is that both trans activists (particularly mainstream adjacent orgs) and anti-AI people were too easy to ignore.

I'm increasingly frustrated that people who are anti-AI aren't being taken seriously, and taking a page out of my thoughts on why the anti-trans backlash got as far as it did I'm starting to think the anti-AI side isn't extreme enough.

People using AI to decompile games to create mods that let them transfer characters and move sets is a little shocking to me

My analogy would be that we shouldn’t discourage public identification of Maga or christian nationalism with racism no matter that people like my dad would feel like their identities were being attacked.

All sorts of political affiliations get turned into identities. Hell, maga and conservative are various ways along this spectrum and they get intertwined with strains of evangelical christianity. That doesn’t mean those identities need to be shielded from political discourse.

This is gonna sound mean, but I think we have enough science fiction where characters process their trauma in healthy and hinged ways under the supervision of competent professionals. We need to get back to Cordelia Naismith trying to drown her psychiatrist in a fishtank.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I really dislike reviews that refuse to see the artistry in 3d animation. If you don’t like it, fine, but artists don’t deserve disrespect because of a chosen medium.

It is good to be angry at Cornell and it is good to be angry at the Cornell rapists and their enablers. But if you’re familiar with sexual violence as a societal problem, you’re probably alarmed by some of the rhetoric, especially how deeply invested in mob violence many white commenters have been

The guys I worked with were not in good shape. It's not hard to figure out why rates of alcohol and drug abuse in blue-collar industries are through the roof: people self-medicate. The physical toll is simply not comprehensible to people who have only worked in offices.

My total time working in concrete added up to about 10 months. It left me with carpal tunnel syndrome, a back injury, and a bunch of the skin ripped off my left arm from a supervisor's easily avoidable error. I loved it, learned a ton from it, but I'd be on my way to an early grave if I'd stayed in.
