You build a product that will harm people and put them out of work? Then your company has to face the consequences when that harm happens.

AI companies love to claim they’re SO special they need special treatment and can’t follow the same rules other dangerous technologies are bound by, and that’s just bullshit.

Hm. What if I unsubscribe from all publishing industry related stuff, actively avoid and block "influencers," and read and write whatever the hell I want regardless of supposed trends? What about that?

Read the whole thread. "A Nazi trillionaire is trying to buy a seat" seems like it should be a pretty easy Democratic campaign line in just about every race in the country.

What is the IceCube neutrino observatory? Neutrinos are elusive particles that rarely interact, but can create flashes of light when they do. Most neutrino detectors are giant water tanks surrounded by light detectors. IceCube is kilometer-long strings of detectors embedded in the Antarctic ice.

Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.

I really don’t think that’s the case. I do think that probably these people hate femininity, which they see as weakness. But that doesn’t mean that they are secretly gay or trans. And I think that it does damage to insist that they are. Maybe some are, but definitely not all.

Yep some might say those allowances are a family. The broken sentences. The unspoken context. the power relations. The jokes. To become an optimized for AI family would be the end of family as many of us know it and experience it.

Exactly, by choice, especially after the brief BLM diversity push a few years ago. Country quite intentionally avoids non-white listeners and a music writer knows this.

context. sentiment. inferences. People seriously cannot do these things anymore. That’s why they angrily demand you spell out every joke, every reference, super duper promise you mean something only this one prescribed way. They cannot do it for themselves or tolerate the any ambiguity.
