Yes, the time of day continues to remain a relatively important aspect of modern life, believe it or not.

Ok but actually getting rid of clock changes is one of the few areas of broad bipartisan consensus. It sucks. We all hate it.

Muncipal democratic politics produces shit politicians at a near industrial scale, with Mamdani being the only recent exception. All across America there are just terrible, incompetent, corrupt blue city mayors.

I think this is also the highest abstention rate for president in Brazil in like 30 years, so I think Lula has a better chance than the second place candidate would normally have in the runoff.

Why so much defeatism about Lula? Maybe folks know something about Brazil that I don’t but pretty sure there is a runoff in 3 weeks and 7 million votes up for grabs.

I mean it should be alarming that a lot of college graduates are buried under a lifetime of debt, are struggling to get by and will have a lower quality of life than their less educated parents. We should maybe consider what the consequences of that might be.

My favorite is how people treat “alignment with human ethics” as if human ethics is this monolith floating in the sky and not a controversial, pluralistic concept with many competing moral frameworks lol

Make Alberta America again? The fantastic Globe crew unearths even deeper ties between Alberta separatists and Republican officials, including a pledge to give the U.S. some of our resources in exchange for backing sovereignty www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

The elephant in the room
Alberta separatists have gone to D.C. offering fresh water and oil in exchange for American support – and Republican operatives have provided tactical assistance inside the province

I don’t see any way these enterprises can achieve their economic ambitions AND develop AI systems safely. Either the bubble is going to burst because of unacceptable risk to all human systems or they are going to be allowed to continue their haphazard and dangerous development practices.

Don’t you think the british empire would have collapsed regardless? The inc was founded in 1885 and gandhi led it beginning in 1920.

As we learn more about Christa Pike’s condition and the madness of the botched execution, I’m re-sharing yesterday’s column. Abolish the death penalty. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Christa Pike's botched execution is a moral stain on America | Opinion
I understand the shock over Tennessee's botched execution of convicted murderer Christa Pike. But it never should have happened in the first place.

If you want people to take your arguments seriously, you probably shouldn’t be making hyperbolic claims about stories like this. Claiming that this incident nearly led to ww3 is just manifestly untrue.

The discourse around AI is so incredibly dysfunctional. Yes, the risks of incorporating llms into military command structures are extreme. No, the US boarding a Chinese flagged vessel would not have led to world war 3. Exaggerated claims by all AI people are extremely unhelpful.

Dems are scraping the bottom of the barrel here. Whats gonna happen in a more competitive political environment when they can’t raise any money? Instead of building trust with voters as part of a shared political project, they lie, break their promises and then engage in predatory fundraising.

I agree with what you are saying, but relying solely on criminal/civil liability to constrain corporate malfeasance is a mistake. If someone uses ai to make a bioweapon and millions of people die, well sure, we can arrest people but at that point the horse has already left the barn.
