Seems like if you're going to make a national story out of Hasan Piker, who campaigned a few times with the Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan, saying Israel causes antisemitism, you should also make a national story out of the favorite intellectual of the US Vice President supporting Hitler.

i think that part of the problem is that it's hard to tell which American MENA experts are on the Saudi payroll, Israeli payroll, Qatari payroll, or UAE payroll because they're all on every payroll

The only responsible attitude for liberals and progressives to align on is that all right-wing grievances, claims and believes are not only false, but malicious lies. Nothing passes the mouth of an American conservative in public life that is not meant to harm and destroy the lives of millions.

I really do believe a lot of this propaganda is HEAVILY reliant on a general ignorance on how computers work. From my personal experience, I have seen more recent software developers being less knowledgeable about computer systems/hardware/etc on a fundamental level.

Does no one else find this an unforgivably stupid question? Emissions reductions won't make a heat wave NOW survivable. Likewise, more homes can have AC, heat pumps while overall cutting greenhouse emissions. This isn't an "either/or", both are needed. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The “you just don’t like AI because you don’t understand it” argument is completely demolished whenever I post about this nuance because everyone resoundingly agrees and supports this version. People understand AI. They understand what they don’t like about it. They are not ignorant.
