AI execs agreeing to self-police is a tacit admission that they weren't doing so already or an empty gesture. Or both!

Whenever someone says AI will destroy humanity I remind them that LLMs are _not_ AI, they only _look_ like AI. If anything, be scared that it's just one more tool in the toolbox of human CEOs and the capital class to put self-enrichment ahead of human life and dignity. That is happening _today_.

"Be strong enough to be gentle." If you're wondering why so many people are mourning the death of a guy who voiced a transforming cartoon robot truck it's because Peter Cullen spent 40 years with a real philosophy behind the voice. Even the silliest art can be meaningful if you care enough about it

Chewy wants me to review the cat food I ordered. That's lunatic behavior. What could I possibly say about cat food that is useful to other cat owners.

Abrams isn't a man so much as he's an avatar of cultural entropy. If you make something popular enough eventually you will die or sell it off and and a person in thick rimmed glasses whose main artistic vision is that he loves to have meetings will take it and sandblast it until it's nothing. I hate to see this happen here but maybe it's good that this happened. Maybe every franchise should collapse into a version of itself that makes shareholders nod and shake each others' hands. We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.

I thought about "contacting my representatives" but they're all Rs and also their website contact forms collect so much info I felt like it was dangerous to even try. I just know those forms get fed into a system that'll label me a dissident. Also they disabled copy pasting for "security" but...

Being on a VPN is great, because Reddit won't let you view the site logged out on a VPN so every time I follow a link it's like getting a "are you sure you want to go on Reddit" warning and it's often enough to push me to find another source or realize I don't care.

the hong kong protestors used the phrase "do not split" to mean that the radical protest and peaceful protest arms of the movement should refuse to criticize each other.
Yet if the movement is leaderless and anarchic, it isn't chaotic. It has guiding principles that allow participants to self- regulate even as the movement constantly reinvents itself. Among those principles is ("do not split"). Protesters use the expression to say that no one in the movement should condemn or obstruct the actions of fellow protesters they disagree with. People who oppose a given action should sit it out, but not try to prevent it.The use of force, in particular, is a divisive issue. Some insist on the necessity of keeping the protests peaceful, so that they will seem morally legitimate and may gain sympathy from the broader public. Others — especially younger protesters or protesters who consider that the lengthy sit-ins of the Umbrella Movement failed — believe that some measure of force has become necessary; otherwise, the government will simply ignore them.

The “do not split” idea acts as a bridge between these two factions by promoting mutual respect for diverging views within the protest movement.
