if the government's going to shove unregulated robots into everything, then, on past performance, the big growth sector will be public inquiries.

oh look, it's the tech fetishist crossover episode from hell
"Decades from how, as you try to remember exactly what sequence of events and life circumstances made you finally decide to go all-in on Bitcoin, your A.I. could develop an informed hypothesis based on a detailed record of your status updates, invites, DMs, and other potentially enduring ephemera that we're often barely aware of as we create them, much less days, months of years after the fact."

something of a silver lining of trump buddying up with musk that America's long-standing and quite disturbing control over the entire internet seems to now be something that's being talked about a lot more. slight shred of optimism ig.

Facebook's new terms of service allow you to be as transphobic as you like, but you can't call someone a liar. They have modelled them off the House of Commons.

referring to terms like "undocumented immigrants" as "campus language" is a lazy way to oppose changes to language by dismissing them as elitist, without actually engaging. you don't need a degree to understand the difference between "illegal" and "undocumented" - that's not why you're "alienated"
