How much of AI would be solved with, like, strict liability?

I know the article says he's thinking about retiring in 2027, but I think that's mostly to try to exert pressure on the electorate. I think him resigning this year immediately after the midterms if Dems take the Senate is a real scenario.

Justice Alito confirms he is considering retirement

The conservative Supreme Court justice said in a CBS News interview that he’ll revisit the issue next year.

The inclusion of exactly one piece of animation that NYT top 100 list just shows that the makers of it lack whimsy.

Netanyahu bringing up a famous Twitch Streamer while addressing the UN is remarkably silly. But of course, that wasn't for the members of the GA, most of whom left if I am not mistaken.

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

Total number of substantive #SCOTUS rulings on Trump emergency applications since 1/20/25: 32 Rulings with dissents from 2+ Democratic appointees: 22 Rulings with dissents from 2+ Republican appointees: 5 The mail-in ballots ruling is a big one, but let's not lose sight of the denominator here.

The best way to understand the American Jewish community is that we are, in the aggregate, a group of liberals whose institutions are largely controlled by a much smaller faction of very well-funded conservatives

People would fundamentally understand this if you replaced trans folks with any marginalized race or ethnicity, but because there are so few trans people and many people, in their heart, don't seem to think trans identity matters, they find criticism of anti-trans Dem talking points "selfish."

I don't need to use my right to be trans in public. Because I am not trans.🤷🏿‍♂️ But I do need to make sure that the government can't take the right to be trans in public away from someone that is trans. This isn't complicated.

Today Gadi Eisenkot, hailed as the great center-left hope to replace Netanyahu as Israeli Prime Minister, tweeted, "There is no Palestinian state, and in the government we will form, there will be no Palestinian state." The Israeli center-left is equally onboard with apartheid as the right.

From Gadi Eisenkot:
"אין מדינה פלסטינית, ובממשלה שנקים לא תקום מדינה פלסטינית."

Just so everyone knows, this is a tried-and-true mainstream media tactic. For progressives/leftist candidates, every election is a “crucial test” and any loss would serve as proof to the media that the latest left-side moment is at its end. Any win, though, just means it’s time to find a new test.

May be wrong here, but my sense is there is a whole media apparatus that aggressively screens Dem candidates and cautions voters not to support the more left-wing candidate. And this is asymmetric. Credible media messengers don't police right-wing candidates the same way.

We still have the cultural image that actual Nazis were defeated in the 1940's, and the remaining Nazis are either unemployed basement-dwellers or fringe militias in Idaho. There is still a reluctance by media and business leaders to say openly that the world's wealthiest person is a Nazi.

Antisemitism is genuinely rising, and we need alliances to fight it, and prominent American Reform rabbis would rather burn their credibility defending a war criminal who has nothing but disdain for Reform Jews anyway! It’s a betrayal of our community in so many ways.
