“But the right are still calling the Schmitt/Smith exchange a gotcha, so they win anyw-“ I will not restrict my glee because of their inability to recognize incompetence. This was fucking hilarious and I’m going to enjoy every second of it. Katie Britt’s “oh fuck” face is my new favorite meme.

I propose a moratorium on news stories describing AI* tools as “going rogue” as if they have intent and moral agency. Instead, let’s describe the events in terms of the companies’ negligence.

To give you the smallest, kindest FOMO for missing @epic.org’s Champions of Freedom event, a couple killer quotes: Privacy matters not because we have something to hide, but because we have something to protect Surveillance watches crime, it doesn’t prevent crime

I cannot express how exhausting it is to work on AI harms/safety issues and have to vet everything to ensure we’re not supporting the EA/rationalist movement WHILE ALSO fighting AI companies and our own government. Though it’s always interesting to mention Roko’s basilisk and watch reactions.

Btw, all the AI company CEOs saying we need an industry-wide slow down because the technology is “too powerful” are lying. It’s not because it’s too powerful. It’s because adoption remains low, pushback remains high, and they still can’t make it profitable.

AI companies: This technology we’re developing is dangerous and might destroy humanity and we don’t know how to stop it Other people: So we should strictly regulate it, create legislative guard rails, and monitor its development? AI companies: lol no the opposite of all that & give us more money

I get very angry and cynical and despairing sometimes about the state of the world, but my very sincere thanks to Dolly Parton for being such a warm, generous, kind light that even the sadness of her passing is inspiring all of us to do our best to emulate her.

We need a summer “save the goths” campaign. They’re not built for this. I just watched a teenager with about seven layers of all-black clothing on trudge across a park in 95 degree weather. Where is Sarah MacLachlan, this is inhumane.

I try really hard to make my critiques substantive but I truly don’t know how to describe the AI Elon short film as anything other than absolute dork-ass loser shit. Just loathsome pathetic trash that could only be published by the most cringe, insecure, pitiful kind of universally hated man-child.

Aging is absolute bullshit. I used to cliff jump and play paintball in the woods and sleep on hard ground after downing shots and be FINE. Today I sliced open my lip because I was flossing my back molar too aggressively. Death is coming for me.

There absolutely is a marginalized, persecuted group in this situation and somehow, the cis, straight, white billionaire has convinced herself it’s her. I’d like to blame this on the mold, but I fear she just is genuinely awful.
Jk Rowling pretending that Amnesty International is somehow persecuting her by reporting on dangers transgender folks face.

Amnesty International is an incredible organization doing deep research and action on protecting human rights, especially for the most vulnerable groups, including trans folks, women, and children. Jo does not care if more women suffer so long as trans folks and their supporters also suffer.

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.
