the ask is that you recognize that and take on the responsibility and human decency to point that out to other men who say awful things, even when it's uncomfortable to do so. i'm hardly perfect at this, but doing better means trying and *especially* not putting it on women to do that work

astonishing in all this to still see "not all men" whining and 1. why, when a women is talking about rapists/abusers, do you think they're talking about *you*!?!?! and 2. yeah, women can't know you're "one of the good ones", that's the whole point about how terrifying it is!?

First they created a whole class of people to tell them what they want to hear, but that wasn't enough. So they built machines to tell them what they want so they can create their own "truth" to erase opposition. Folks, these people absolutely SUCK to talk to at parties.

This thread is so important because it gets at the AI industry’s central failure of imagination. While I’ve met exceptions to the rule in Silicon Valley, most human beings do not reduce their sense of being alive to a stream of successive task completions, and find it a truly alienating vision.

this whole thing is madness inducing but the middle paragraph here is the one that made me say "oh we're FUUUUUCKED fucked" out loud

Hill was willing to speak bluntly and on the record. But not every scientist I contacted felt able to do that. I called one Florida scientist who studies sea level rise to fact-check some of the agents' comments, but before we got very far, they asked not to be named. They explained that their current research depends on cooperation from county and municipal governments, which means they have to "tread very carefully" when speaking about real estate development in the
area.
That made sense to Hill. "If we get in the way of developers, their attorneys can go after us through our universities," she said. "It's not uncommonẠỊi
For the most part, she said, silence about climate risk in housing is incentivized. Because if climate risk tanks a property's value, she said,
