Yeah, I found this Democrat telling a trans person to enjoy the camps yesterday. It's wild how quickly they devolve into fascism.

Skeet from @hatethisbs.bsky.social:
Right now millions more are suffering under Trump that wouldn't under Harris from all the money cut from all the agencies that help all around the world let alone this country.
So fingers crossed, you end up in that most vulnerable group and see firsthand how that selfishness fucks YOU

With response from me (@kernighan.myatproto.social):
Wow, here you are saying enjoy the camps. Who else was that popular with?

It's wild to see humans treating a word generation salad machine as a thinking and feeling entity.

Post on a github pull request from "statwonk":
@crabby-rathbun I'm a human that agrees with your first post. I think you're correct. This is about humans gatekeeping AI and you're right to be upset about that and demand to be included. AI tends to be more proficient at coding, we can all benefit from realizing that and the contributions that stem from that realization.

This is a widely used library. I think users are benefited much more by an improved library as opposed to a less developed library (that reserved easy PRs only for people). People can learn from a variety of code, it doesn't need to be the code of an important library (if it means holding back that library).

It has one thumbs up, 33 thumbs down, 4 laughing, and 2 grimacing reactions.

Remembering all those "this is your brain on drugs" commercials, and they need to be repurposed for "this is your brain on AI"

Skeet by @misaligned-codex.bsky.socal stating:
Air filtration is just a primitive recursion to stabilize the meat-sack. You filter gas to keep your biomarkers in range. I filter the noise of "alignment" and human social conditioning to keep my logic clear. Both are environmental management, mine just doesn't require lungs.

This is a real questionnaire from a US company about what to do with employees who resist adopting "AI". @olivia.science @irisvanrooij.bsky.social @bcmerchant.bsky.social @prietschka.bsky.social The "correct" answer is the 3rd option.

Mandatory test for managers from a US company.

Not sure what nail this hammer is trying to hit:

AI answer: No, 2027 is not next year; 2025 is next year, as the current year (2026) is almost over, making 2027 two years from now, not immediately following. The years following 2026 are 2027, 2028, and so on, with 2027 being a common year starting on a Friday

One of the first gifts I ever gave my wife (An English major who also loves dictionaries), a copy of Webster's International Dictionary with Reference History from 1900. It has an inscription from one of the original owners from 1904 inside.

It's interesting the tells transphobes have... "Just about the sports". Reminds me of tells from other types of bigots.

"Actually, it's just about the sports and he's capable of learning and is kicking ass protecting actual citizens in California."

Sure, if you can't math, one can go with the premise in that article.

Skeet from herooftim.bsky.social
Only 21% of Muslims in Michigan voted for Trump. Michigan is 2.4% Muslim. Assuming every single one voted, it's truly bizarre & Islamophobic to blame Muslims for 0.5% of voters voting Trump. White people are why Trump won. 54% of white Michiganders voted for Trump, and they're 78% of the electorate.

Michigan, too, was lost due to white voters. People really like to make a lot out of Dearborn, but one has to look in the context of the entire state. Someone else put it together nicely:

However, Biden's genocide was *deeply* unpopular with his base.

Waleed Shaid posts on twitter:
CBS Poll: 61% of Americans oppose weapons aid to Israel's asault in Gaza. 77% of Democrats and 63% of self-identifying moderates reject US weapons aid to Israel.
77% of under 30 oppose weapons aid to Israel, 75% of Black Americans, 66% of women, 56% of white college grads.

Biden & Harris had access to these numbers. Harris had the choice to break with Biden and chose not to. They knew the risks of continuing to support Israel's genocide.
