Republicans know that too, but they also know this is something they can make Dems flinch and equivocate about, which makes them look overall weak and indecisive. They did it with immigration last cycle, they did it with gay marriage 20 years ago. The only way to win is to tell them to eat shit

I genuinely hate the push to make smoking a thing again. I have watched so many drawn out, ugly, painful deaths from smoking. It makes everything disgusting. It enslaves us to the worst kinds of corporations. There’s ZERO positive here.

If roughing up a girlfriend and locking her in a room was a virile, authentic a rejection of “smoothgroined” “HR lady” politics, but a rape is too far, then what’s at stake is not a principled rejection of violence against women but a cynical assessment of how much violence a man can get away with.

Hilarious and deeply insightful writing by @brianphillips.lol.
Because the truth is, tech doesn't have an image problem. It doesn't have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What's wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn't successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What's wrong is that he's trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that's designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn't that you haven't told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.

But such outfits offend people — really offend people — because people don't think of clothes as anything more than consumables. It's notable to me that the Met Gala gets compared to the Hunger Games, whereas such criticism is rarely levied at the Oscar's red carpet or the Super Bowl halftime show.

My problem with democrats refusing to say genocide and instead saying “I think what has been done to the Palestinian people has gone too far” is that it implies there’s a medium level of killing Palestinians that is reasonable.

To be frank, *no country* since the liberal revolutions has been capable of dealing with a far right authoritarian party of any size. Every scheme of "internal checks and balances" has consistently proven to be tissue paper. No liberal has yet even dreamed up a solution that could make states work.

It's not a coincidence that pro-AI people often compare creating something VS AI with washing dishes yourself VS using the dishwashers. They don't think of creating something as being meaningful and pleasurable on its own, but as a chore whose only part that matters is the end result.
"[…] AI is all about the end result (the finished piece of art or writing), whereas human creativity is just as much about the process & journey as it is the end result. The former is bad because it commodifies art and creativity, saying that the only important thing about it is WHAT you create, rather than the fact that you created at all. I don’t care if I make bad art, at least I’m making it in the first place and I can learn something new from it."

Content is the word that ultimately validates all AI slop. Because AI gets Content faster than anything else. Is it good, desirable, valuable, useful? Is it anything at all? Doesn't matter, it's Content. Post, browse, like, repost, slide, it's gone, now it doesn't exist anymore, Post. More. CONTENT

Promoting your game based on how few rules it has is the TTRPG equivalent to the booktok fade of promoting books based on tropes instead of story, and both pander to anti-intellectualism. Fight me.

use the strategic and tactical part of your brain to figure it out. And that means Republicans will put a lot of poison pills and try to make you make "hard" votes but they are not hard votes at all. You just say "I voted against it because the GOP was singling out Americans to target for hate."

Reminder that the last business decision Bob Iger made at Disney was to "invest" $1 billion into OpenAI in exchange for letting Sora have access to its intellectual property for Sora videos, a decision that made almost no business sense at the time and looks even more confusing today.
