Recruiting a Decoy Dan is a longstanding dirty trick, played by both parties, but the big, dumb mistake by the Peltola campaign was lying about it. Also, in a ranked-choice state like Alaska it’s pointless.

I don't know much about the policies of Dr. Amy Acton, and I'm sure I'd have gripes if I did, and I haven't lived in Ohio for decades, but she got a small campaign contribution tonight because Ramaswamy is such a fucking fuck.

If I don't keep my car roadworthy and crash into yours, it hasn't gone "rogue", it's my negligence and I'm responsible. If my dog attacks you, I am liable. There are no rogue AIs, just negligent AI companies. Prosecute them.

I still cannot fathom why anyone would share their personal and financial information with a soulless company like Meta.

Let’s say you’re the CEO of an AI company that claims its product could kill everyone in a decade. Why would you not immediately turn off the gas turbines at your data centers? […]

I’m autistic. I was born in 1961. I did not receive the MMR vaccine, which was introduced in 1971. MMR did not give me autism. I’m autistic because of complex genetic and environmental factors we continue to study. While we do that, we have to keep finding ways to incorporate neurodiverse people […]

The Post’s “industry expert”, whose spin is apparent throughout the article as he whines on about Congress balking at even more military spending, represents an NGO funded largely by U.S. arms manufacturers. wapo.st/4q2tNZw

A few years ago, my dog and I were struck by an SUV that was turning. We were in a marked, light-controlled crosswalk, with the light. Regardless, the driver hit us, knocking me down and crushing my dog. This reporting rings true […]
