Sell a person a fish, and you have sold one fish. Teach a person to fish, and you can sell them expensive, proprietary bait and tackle for life.

I would like to see more men talking about how to and peer pressuring each other into calling out misogyny and rape culture. Going against social norms is hard, and it helps to share tips and support.

to piggyback off Hoo again, the other shoe here is we need humanities and social science folks to understand that these discoveries of science (most in the last 150ish years) are real— that the laws of physics or biology aren’t a bit, germ theory isn’t debatable like Marxism, etc

I would vociferously dispute this. No, you don't need to take 4000 level courses. But it is important to understand technology, and more important *technologists.*

This serves as advertisement for Alex Gibney’s documentary, Musk, opening October 9. Pass it on.

YouTube, TikTok and Meta have all turned down the trailer for the Oct. 9 doc, citing “political” content. X won't even take Bleecker Street's calls. The distributor is appealing.

When I say hiring: for companies I've founded. For non-profits. For the public sector and academia. As a board member bringing in CEOs. On job sites picking somebody to swing a hammer. Recruiting volunteers to canvass. For *decades*. Hiring is a SKILL that you WORK ON. Out of respect for workers.

“Studying Christian theology with any form of a historical-critical lens, instead of at a degree mill, is going to predispose 90% of people to espouse a form of liberation theology so radical that it’s probably illegal under U.S. law” is one of those things that sounds fake but is real

Basically it’s fine to talk about them like you would a ship, in settings where they have a purpose similar to ships. It’s when they wear a human face that it’s really important to be precise in language.

When you hear a fantastical story about AI, you should ask yourself, "How does this serve the political project of AI?" Because, as others have pointed out, that's what AI really amounts to: a political project.

The most generous assessment is that this was shitty, lazy engineering; the more in-character scenario is that the sandbox was intentionally breakable because of the story it would generate. Whichever you believe, the story is not "OMG, they made AGI!"

I would say this: I don't care what you think about trans people. The essence of America is that people here get to live their lives however they want, as long as they're not hurting anyone else. You don't get a vote on that. Trans people aren't hurting you, so leave them alone.

The reason not to triangulate against trans people isn't that it's bad politics (although I believe it is) or unnecessary (although I believe it is). It's because YOU MUST NOT ABANDON THE VULNERABLE TO DEPRAVED PEOPLE WHO WILL DO THEM HARM. If we will, what's the point of anything else we do?

The People Will Fight On. A song for the moment. #resist #musicsky
The People Will Fight On

[to the tune of John Brown's Body]

There's a blaze now burning in this land from sea to shining sea
As the glories of our nation are consumed with awful glee:
From sky to ground to wavetops fascists trample on the free,
But the people still fight on.

Treachery will never prosper,
Treachery will never prosper,
Treachery will never prosper,
For the people still fight on!

While the congress sit all idle every new day brings new lows
And the downtrodden and poorest suffer each and every blow,
Our neighbours and our allies cannot fathom what we chose,
But the people still fight on.

Treachery will never prosper,
Treachery will never prosper,
Treachery will never prosper,
For the people still fight on!

We defeated slavers once before and shall do so again,
For true Liberty and Justice live on in the hearts of men,
Though they wound this mighty country we shall rise in spite of them,
And the people still fight on!

Treachery will never prosper,
Treachery will never prosper,
Treachery will never prosper,
For the people will fight on!

- Bran Keane

This industry frames its regulations in this way because it has, at its core, a millenarian death cult that worships and fears AI as the cause of the end of the world, that feels compelled to create AI, and that at least somewhat wants to destroy AI as a field.

I think similarly about this relative to AI but I postulate that the key element is not direct perception - that’s only half of it. The key, I think, is the experience of *influencing the world*. That is, perception followed by intention leading to a change that can be perceived.

It's also remarkable just how incredibly fast it all flipped. Average weight for a US servicemember (by global standards of their time an extremely well fed and healthy individual!) is basically stable at 140-145 from the Civil War through WWII and suddenly bounces up to 165 ish for Vietnam.

Crashing the grid isn’t the sort of thing that a civilization can necessarily just shrug off. I mean, we could and ideally would be so equipped. But the reality is that cannibal capitalism has hollowed all of the resiliency out of our infrastructure, in the name of “efficiency” (shareholder profit)

AOC's biggest advantage is that she'll have her lane to herself. Ro Khanna is not going to poll like Liz Warren. Her task is to rebuild the Bernie 2020 coalition and then expand it, and she's clearly working hard at that.
