Dogs do not need substantially different things than humans, and if you are training your dog correctly you will probably look at our society and whisper “what the fuck!”

One of my most galaxy-brained takes is that politicians and political groups should talk more about workers’ share of national income. It's one of the clearest, simplest ways to describe how billionaires and corporate elites captured so much of the economy--and something policy can change.

U.S. workers' share of national income falls to a new low
Labor's bargaining position has worsened markedly in the last half-decade.

Since broadcast outlets are boycotting the WH press pool, print & online outlets should boycott visuals of him. Quote accurately but no portraits. Use a generic WH scene or make a graphic that explains the absence. Same for social media. We all know what he looks like. #BoycottHisFace

This is a question I'm interested in hearing more about. All the versions of LLMs we have seen so far have been made by the worst people and have so so many harms baked in. Is it possible for other folks to build something different (_Small_ Language Models, maybe) that addresses most of the harms?

No one gets a PhD in "what if the people in charge of the Pentagon are chud idiots and they collapse the world economy because caring about strategy is Woke and Gay". But that is (self-evidently) a far more likely thing to happen, simply because it only requires stupidity to accomplish.

Second grade teacher: This kid is awful. Whenever we have reading time, he sits under his desk to read. And I tell him no, you have to sit in your chair like everyone else. We get in an argument, "it's reading time, not sit-in-chairs time" and he distracts everyone. Why can't he follow rules?! 1/2

Guys I hate to break it to you, but under capitalism, automation improves productivity but doesn't actually reduce the amount of time workers must work to survive. Instead, productivity gains are captured as profit. Only worker organizing will reduce our labor time. Yes, this applies to 'AI'

In short, there are valuable lessons we can learn about drones & interceptors & magazine depth & mine-sweepers, etc. But the key lesson is: no amount of tactical excellence can salvage strategic incompetence. Who lost the Iran War? The American voter did, that damn fool. And he ought to feel it.
