One of the key messages I carry is that we don't have to accept any of this. Sometimes I see opposition in the form of "Get in loser, you'll be left behind" and other times it's in the form of "It's all over the place, what do you mean you think you can opt out?" >>

And remember, all of this is happening amid the AI buildout. AI, which is not a coherent set of products and services, but rather a commercial and political project, can be understood as a full-spectrum class-war offensive. An offensive waged by one industry, which put their guy Vance in the WH.

Just more performative centrism. These people fetishize appearing like the reasonable people in the room. They don’t care that the truly rational response to the opposition is to be outraged.

If you listen to Greg Cosell’s comments on the Patriot’s offense on Ross Tucker’s podcast, the problems identified are strikingly similar.

Two teams running this offense can’t run the ball. And the pass game concepts are weak. Maybe this offense isn’t all that great when Brady isn’t operating it.

Black text on white page that reads:

In 1882, 10,000 workers marched up Broadway in the first-ever Labor Day parade. Led by democratic socialists and organized by New York’s unions, they rallied the movement that went on to win us weekends, safety standards, overtime pay, a minimum wage, and social security.

None of those victories were guaranteed. And none are permanent.

We created the first-in-the-nation Office of Worker Power to put the full weight of City Hall behind the people who keep New York running. On Labor Day, we honor the workers who came before us by fighting for the workers who come next.

Happy Labor Day, New York. The future of worker power is ours to build. Learn more at nyc.gov/workerpower.

Is the question about any next leader’s skills and qualifications, or is the question, “why would anyone trust us again?” Deals with the U.S. now come with an assumed 4-year expiration date. We can’t possibly be trusted again without major systemic changes.

I'm not going to be relitigating COVID lockdowns or mask mandates. Both were necessary measures that saved lives. If you cannot accept the curtailing of even the minor of freedoms in the name of public safety, you have demonstrated that you do not give a solitary fuck about the rest of us.

it’s pretty obvious that a lot of people remember that COVID lockdowns were unpleasant and from there just extrapolate that they were therefore bad policy

They may have rejected Trump and corruption (to a point), but they have not recognized their mistaken self-image as the more mature, realistic, pragmatic party. It informs their conviction that the left doesn’t know what it is doing. That we need a “daddy”.

“We have to show that we are tough on immigration, serious about deficits and that we aren’t left wing extremists on lgbtq, race, and crime issues” No we fucking don’t. Bill Clinton’s Democratic Party is dead. And we are better off for it. It was maybe the right thing for 1992 but that is the past

I don’t think "Dem HR ladies" is labor coded or working class aligned. It comes from the same place everything that is terrible in the last two years has come from. The backlash to the Me Too and Black Lives Matter movements.

Russell Vought is an evil man. This plan is nothing short of a personal take-over of federal grant making. It will affect ALL of us. Political commissars will now be in charge of all agencies, reporting to him. But we are not powerless. See what you can do below. 1/ www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Even if Iran wanted to negotiate, any promise by the U.S. is worthless when the government is run by people who only act in bad faith. We no longer have the ability to effectively negotiate anything with any other country. We can pretend, but it will never be real.

“He’s unwell,” “he doesn’t belong near power” are as beside the point as “he shouldn’t be allowed to do this.” They’re callbacks to an order that’s been broken. We know fascism is wrong. We must after 10 years move past the part where we keep rediscovering it daily with new shock.

Social media can be an incredible organizing and educational tool but it’s also an aggressive black hole that swallows all discourse and digests it until nothing makes sense or is cohesive anymore. We’ve been driven insane and our insanity is the most lucrative product for literal fascists.

A society that stops learning how to do things and only learns how to ask for things will not be able to use anything “skillfully”. You lose the ability to know what exactly to ask for and how to assess the value of what’s delivered. Also, who is served by “faster and easier”?

I hope all the AI boosters understand that they’re training their kids that only chumps do things the hard way—by working diligently and going through the discomfort and hassle of learning and acquiring skills. And also teaching them that a 30% error rate is good enough.

Do the eleventy thousand public school systems that rely on Google (Gmail, docs, Classroom, etc) know that the company, with the flick of a switch and with no notice, is now training its plagiarism machine on child student data? This could quite possibly be running afoul of some state laws.

The Netflix miniseries Death By Lightning turns a historical footnote — Charles Guiteau's assassination of President James Garfield — into a grand entertainment, with wonderful performances by Matthew Macfadyen, Michael Shannon, Betty Gilpin, and, especially, Nick Offerman. My review:

Smart people are asking questions about societal upheavals. Unless you have a plan to transition proverbial "saddle makers" into "car upholstery" makers, wiping out a majority of your employment opportunities in a society where human value is predicated on work, will lead to catastrophe.

9. If you use Al to write something for you, it is meaningless and we'd all be better off if you had never said anything in the first place.

This is the thing: Writing is meaning. The reason we write things is to express some sort of meaning, to pass along important information, to convey a human emotion or sensation. It doesn't matter whether the writing is grammatically correct, or vividly expressed. It matters that it came from you. That is the point of writing. If you ask a Chatbot to write something for you, you are being fundamentally unhuman and foundationally dishonest. I am not going to bend on this one. If it requires an Al bot for you to express something to me, you and I are probably not actually friends.

Twitter isn’t a sports app. It’s an app used more heavily by sports analysts. This site can provide the same dynamic if it is used. I’m here for the same reason I was on Twitter. To get information and opinions. That includes the NFL. I’m no longer on Twitter because of the hate pushed onto my feed.

Unless they run it the same way they run charter schools and have taxpayers pay them. Only now, we’re not just paying for the service, we have to pay for their profit too. There is no magical efficiency in the private sector. When they do find efficiency, it goes to profit, not price reduction.
