Is that...is that supposed to be an argument against healthcare

Darline Graham, new Republican candidate for Senate in South Carolina, told a crowd last night that government-run health care is a terrible idea and then told everyone her parents had to work at their liquor store even if they were sick, and her mother and father died when she was 11 and 12, respectively. Apparently as an argument against healthcare.

I recommend to you this podcast series about Dolly Parton by Jad Abumrad (creator of Radio Lab). You may ask: how did a MacArthur Award winning pub radio guy meet Dolly? Because she personally funded his father's vaccine research, that's how. www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/dol...

(3/3) Dolly called and asked if there was any way to help with this tragedy. Abumrad replied she was on a vaccine research team but it was expensive and they were still seeking grants. When Dolly heard this she replied "Well I have money" and donated $1m. Abumrad's team produced the Moderna vaccine.

Chauvin was, in fact, the cause of Floyd’s death. He used a technique that MPD and most other agencies have banned, specifically because it causes death. And the crime for which he was convicted is unintentional second-degree murder, which by definition does not require intent to kill.

shit, openAI policy chief, that sounds pretty serious, maybe you should talk to the openAI CEO who has been responsible for a *majority* of these statement

That people are worried about AI is understandable, Lehane said — they believe it might take their jobs, harm their kids, and raise their electricity bills. He compared the tension to conflicts that followed earlier technological leaps forward, like the invention of the printing press. And it doesn’t help, he said, that the AI industry has made a habit of foreboding pronouncements.
“You’ve had a series of things that have been put out there — but haven’t come to fruition — about extreme things that are going to happen,” Lehane said.

I’m critical of AI, but let’s be clear, this kind of anti-AI nihilistic pessimism is still just eugenics. Being unable to visualize a red square has nothing to do with the value of your inner life or status as a human being. This is edgelord bullshit.

Poster: "There are lots of people who aren't fully conscious. Like how a child isn't fully conscious. Because their mind has been abraded by our self-destructive and anti-social society. These people lack an internal life. They see the emptyness of AI as a reflection of their own soulless minds. A third of American adults aren't capable of abstract reasoning. A similar amount have no visual imagination. If I ask you to think of a red square, you see a red square in your mind. The visual centers of your brain fire, producing an image of a red square. A third of American adults see nothing. I get why saying a third of Americans aren't fully human is unpleasant. There's a long history of that sort of language being used to target vulnerable minorities. But if you just accept that fact, everything about the last 50 years of American politics suddenly makes a whole lot more sense."

Me: Please fuck all the way off with this horse shit.
