The "existential threat" from AI is that people who stand to profit the most keep getting away with: 1) Marketing as having created a "super powerful, unprecedented thing for which we don't have existing regulation." An aspiration + a lie.

Timnit Gebru Believes There Is No ‘Existential Threat’ From AI

One of AI’s fiercest critics believes the doom talk is about founders making money, not saving humanity.

today's hardware designers could never conceive of what Kazuo Kawasaki was doing in 1996

A colorful retro computer setup featuring a purple keyboard, a small teal touchpad, and a teal circular CD-ROM drive with a matching keypad-style controller resting on top. The hardware is arranged against a dark background in a vivid purple-and-turquoise color scheme.

Generally speaking I do need AI boosters to understand that I’ve lost my career and future plans entirely to AI-based cost cutting. so any time you’re talking about tech you have to understand people whose livelihoods were destroyed by a thing they didn’t choose to adopt they’re gonna be prickly lol

When I was in college there was this frat who made being “southern gentlemen” their whole identity. Them white boys used to be at intramural b-ball games, calling the black teams the N-word, “boys”, and all type of shit . Whenever I think of it, I damn near fly into a rage like I’m still there

Here they go again, “selling wares” that turn into a side mission as soon as you strike up a conversation. You’re gonna come back with a new sword, amulet, and scars sure! But what about all that trauma and lost party member…?

My third novel, HERO COME HOME, officially has a cover! Preorderable from the usual places us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

The cover of my third novel, HERO COME HOME. Four human figures centred, the main image being that of a bearded man looking back over his shoulder (that's Oro, the protagonist), with a circle of symbols behind him. We can see a swan and a key. In the foreground are three people: two women, one with a mysterious marking? scar? who knows!? on her cheek and the other carrying a sword, flanking an older, balding man holding up a pistol. The possibly-scarred woman looks ever so slightly amused, and that is certainly very like her. Everybody else is not happy to be here, or indeed, anywhere

Babyface’s catalog isn’t for me, I don’t FW with the yearning & alladat. That said, saying he’s an overrated song writer is INSANE. I can recognize that he’s exceptionally good (an all time great TBH) at what he does even if I don’t particularly care for it.

One of Britain's leading allies in the Middle East has apparently spent years systematically desecrating one of the most treasured parts of our national culture. Sportswashing was supposed to make it easier for states like the UK to support regimes like the UAE. Clearly this does the opposite.

John Oliver’s superb piece on trans athletes should have been a final end to this conversation. But it’s too politically and financially (see Gaines, Riley) profitable for hate grifters than to accept scientific, moral, and common sense.

✍🏾 MY LATEST: I wrote about the moral panic Republicans manufactured about trans girls in sports. I decided to turn all my yelling on social media about trans girls in sports into a column.

The Panic Over Trans Athletes is Fake: Opinion

Republicans have manufactured a crisis in women’s sports, just in time for the midterm elections. Democrats should find the courage to defend trans children—or at the very least, leave them alone.

The reason racism and misogyny still bang is because it's financially preferable for the powers that be. It's so much easier to control a population that you've said is the opposite of you.

Until racism (which includes misogyny, pls) is resolved legally, there won't be any actual advancement anywhere for anyone.
