Yet more proof that “superintelligence” has always been a supremacist framing (aside from the eugenics origins and actual eugenicists pushing both this term and “artificial general intelligence” throughout their lifespans)

These men want you ignorant and powerless so that you can’t stop them from eliminating most of us when they really get things going.

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

The Rs are doing a full-spectrum assault on the existence of anyone not cis and straight, and saying it is about "boys playing girls sports". And every D who looks at that and goes "yeah, I oppose boys in girls sports" is endorsing the effort. Because they're affirming "sports" is all the Rs did.

Claude making a scientific discovery
Black-and-white three-part comic. In the first scene, one simple cartoon figure holds out a small round handmade-looking object and says, “I MADE THIS.” Another figure replies, “YOU MADE THIS?” In the second scene, the second figure is shown alone holding the object. In the final scene, that figure holds it proudly and says, “I MADE THIS”

I think software engineering has been in a crisis since at least when Facebook facilitated a genocide and there wasn’t any meaningful change to the formalized ethical practices of the industry as a whole

Whatever you do, don't smoke an entire brisket at a job interview, it's a lot of equipment to bring in, it takes a really long time to do it right and those conference rooms have notoriously poor ventilation

Let's say we wanted to save a ton of mutual aid money by buying 10 pallets of stuff. What's the best way to receive this, store it, and get out about a pallet of stuff every week or two? How does that answer change if what I need is mixed among many pallets? Assuming Minneapolis.
