Well, this is an interesting new intersection for politics and fandom... Will they also train with the WWE to learn how to work?

We can't debate ourselves into a stronger union. Debating has become all about gotcha-showmanship and ragebaiting. It's just entertainment. The only way forward is with dialogue. Honest, respectful, self-reflective, non-persuasive dialogue. Anyone know how I start a call-in show to do that?

I remember the chatbots of the 1990s. Computer programs that could "talk" to you. I remember one visualized as a parrot. Because that's what it did: it parroted back to you what you said, turning sentences into questions or questions into sentences. Early LLMs it seems: youtube.com/shorts/APyVE...

And for me, part of the problem is in terming them "agents" because nothing should be perceived as having agency but humans or similarly sentient beings. AI should always only be assistants. That power dynamic must be maintained. Creating otherwise is absolutely foolish and self-destructive.

A very important conversation: youtu.be/lnLDjXy2kRA?... I am not completely anti-AI. But I am anti the greed-driven, ambition-driven approach being taken. We need to be smarter with this technology, and we don't have a good history with doing so.

Technology doesn't mean mechanical. Technology means something .ade by humans to serve us. Domestication yielded a lot of organic technology for us. Genetic engineering could create even more. Imagine little messengers who send our thoughts to each other, and then dissolve into compost.

Make everyone remember this midterm season that this is a government by us for us. This is not meant to be a government by them for themselves. Any politician, regardless of ideology, that only works for themselves does not represent us. No taxation without representation still applies, mofos.

This is why I stir up trouble in academia. Because we are meant to help others, not just ourselves. We are meant to teach humans, not just train workers. We are meant to color the world with art and literature. To solve problems both social and natural. To uncover mysteries of the mind and matter.

Just an FYI:

PAC is pronounced PACK, not pock. It’s from a nickname his Dad gave him when he was just a boy. Six Pack Ben Satterley

I get it- 2Pac, X-Pac. People have been saying it that way for years. That’s fine. Some will continue to say ‘Pock’ & that’s fine too!

Ben would cringe at the idea of correcting someone so I don’t mean to be the Pronunciation Police here. I just think some people aren’t aware & I feel it’s important & respectful to say (or spell) someone’s name correctly.

@ChrisHero
The difference between pack & pock is the same difference between Max & Mox. Would you make that mistake? ☺️

Don't get upset about "World's Collide" streaming vs #AEWDynamite PAC tribute. The AAA/WWE audience was unlikely to watch anyway. Ratings?YouTube counts like one second as a view now. Accept there are fans who see WWE as a cause and AEW as 'the enemy'. Don't waste your energy. #wrestlesky

Yes, AI could kill a significant portion of humanity. But even if it doesn't, it could still do irreparable harm to the environment and employment. We need serious conversations about what AI should and shouldn't be, and not leave those decisions in the hands of greedy, short-sighted profiteers.

When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.

We shouldn't shame someone for who they are, but maybe we should get back into the practice of shaming someone for what they did. Like ragebaiting. Those people should be shamed. That shouldn't be acceptable in a civilized society.

NXT as the Black-and-Gold Brand was one of my gateway drugs into professional wrestling. The match between Neville and Zayn for the title was my first emotional investment in wrestlers and matches. This good man touched so many for just being a good guy let alone a great wrestler.

Relieved to hear all signs are good so far for Steven Borden. I know he'll continue to get good care. But could you at least say it's not paralysis or the like? I mean, he told me in my dream he was okay, just needed rest, but that's not a reliable source.
