There is literally no one cooler on the Internet today. Vic’s ability to instantly take over whatever the topic is and steer it into an entirely unhinged direction is masterful. At any point of the day, regardless if I am in a giant sales pitch, I am still thinking about their ‘pretzel pizza’ bit.

I can understand why the features of a supposed AI assistant are compelling. I kinda wanna try it too. But I know too much about how these things work. Do not give a cloud-based agent access to your shit. Especially one from the big tech companies.

There were more men in a single documented gang rape at one school than the number of competitive trans athletes nationally. But I’ve heard a lot more politicians being asked about protecting girls from one of these scenarios and not another… I’ll let you guess which is which.

I regret to inform you all that Bernie Sanders is in fact taking meetings with noted rationalist wacko Eliezer Yudkowsky over what AI regulations should look like. x.com/SenSanders/s...
Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
Will Al become smarter than humans?
If so, is humanity in danger?
I went to Silicon Valley to ask some of the leading Al experts that question.
Here's what they had to say:

What if we raised some funds for Ashley while she’s in the hospital? Between the house stuff and the ambulance ride, I know some financial support could go a long way for Ashley and her family. Let’s put a 👑 in the memo and I can forward funds to Ashley: V: colocha_rachel $: ColochaRachel

woke up this morning and chose violence (watching #folkhorror The Moor) random thoughts: - AI is just another method of divination, no different than dowsing, geomancy, scrying, etc. - yes these assholes in power are laughable but laughter detracts from real world outcomes, all of which are bad

The Harvest Moon is the name of the full moon that is closest to the autumn equinox and this year it occurs today, September 26th. Traditionally this was a time for gathering crops. The Harvest Moon rises around sunset for several nights in a row, providing farmers with 🎨 Hannah Willow

I don't have time to write more, but ICE is working to remove people to third countries in violation of D.V.D. v. DHS. I've been up since 5:20 A.M. working with two other attorneys to prevent our client from being shipped out. If you rep someone at risk of third country removal, check on them NOW

Right, okay everybody, I’ve had a lot of meetings and talks this week and I have to share some top line thoughts. Things are quite a bit worse than i am usually willing to share with people because panic does no good. It’s kinda bad. The baddies have the wind at their back. No denying that.

sometimes it feels like AI is an operationalized scapegoat weaponized to slaughter us actual scapegoats on the altar of cannibalistic over-extraction. but it’s also a shield from any kind of legal consequence in certain cases. hell of a ruse. (friday evening thoughts)

Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth

And I'll also add that assessments for ADHD and Autism are recommended under the NHS before referral to a gender clinic. So a 13 year old trans kid asking for a referral would need to wait two years for an assessment for autism before they can even be referred and assessed for gender dysphoria.

They used the existence of kids with ADHD and autism to delay and dismantle care for trans youth. Now they're delaying and dismantling care for kids wtv ADHD and autism.

Two points here. 1. Automation can be great, but this administration is making it harder for states to use automation to expand coverage. 2. Automation to detect fraud has a really bad track record in practice. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/robodebt-w...

To me, this feels like an extension of DOGE. Big claims about fraud, using data-matching to drop people from coverage. Without actual data, or investigation, it is impossible to refute the claims, but such transparency is unlikely to be forthcoming.

ICE abducted a WBB player while she was traveling with her Kentucky State team in early August at Louisville airport. She has been imprisoned for 1.5 months and denied care for a serious ACL injury. It is the responsibility of universities and the NCAA to protect their players. They have failed.
Aminata Seck, 26, a student-athlete at Kentucky State University, was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport while traveling with her school's basketball team Aug. 7, said Sadiqa Reynolds, a lawyer helping coordinate Seck's case.

Seck's team was headed to New York for a tournament, and she was taken into custody after going through airport security, said Reynolds, former president and CEO of the Louisville Urban League.

one common thread (among the horrifying many) between the numerous ICE shootings/murders is that no first aid was administered to the victim. armed combatants of the government shot to kill, and if they didn’t kill right away, they gave time for it to happen anyway. it is absolutely grotesque.
