AI Safety? Never Heard of It.

Good news: AI is now officially free to be as biased, unsafe, and unchecked as possible.

You can’t incinerate the largest employer in the nation and expect the economy to hold. Every person out of job has a negative effect on 10 other people in an economy. The United States is currently committing suicide.

Republicans will soon bring forward a “reconciliation” bill, that encapsulates the value system of greed and their obedience to oligarchy. It is the economic essence of Trumpism. It will make the rich richer & the poor poorer. It must be defeated. And we can defeat it.

Working class Americans live 6 years shorter lives than the wealthy. Doctors believe economic stress is a major factor in that disparity. I asked Americans to describe how stress impacts their lives & well-being. The responses were heartbreaking. Here are some of them:

This ream of paper is our financial aid app for Rob’s cancer treatment. No, I am not joking. This is what cancer care as freelancers looks like. We had to add extra pages to it Friday night, because it wasn’t enough. It took more than 200 hours to compile this.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

If you have little ones, check out the library programs available for them. Many libraries offer weekly storytimes and playtimes for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers. Some also have toy areas which are great as the weather gets colder.
