i really can’t bring myself to care about AI anthropomorphism debates. “is AI thinking?” i don’t know. is a calculator calculating? questions for the philosophers. what’s important is that we put sam altman in prison.

sorry, but torturing the omelas kid is just a smart move, polling-wise. i personally wish there wasn't a kid in the omelas hole--of course i do!--but let's not get distracted by purity tests, here.

Easiest layup in the world for the WNBA to not only lifetime ban this dude from every arena (which they've already done this week to other fans), but come out swinging on him publicly.

"When I think about keeping kids safe in sports, these are the kids I think of first — the ones who were afraid to be themselves, who shied away from spaces where their body was put on display, who missed out on years of joyful play as they figured out their identity away from the court or field."

This is the same old "you can't solve weightlifting with a forklift" thing that happens again and again with current consumer uses of AI: the point of reading a book is not to finish the book easily, it's to READ the book, especially if the book asks you to do something that feels difficult

The legend Robin Lopez

Tweet from Robin Lopez that reads: Biggest issue: if you’re being drafted, people are saying “we want you around for 4 years” & I can’t imagine anybody wants Enes Kanter or Royce White around them for even 4 minutes. We’ve seen this illustrated whenever Enes is near Turkey or Royce comes close to logic/reality

Robin Lopez responding to Royce white. White says: lol join the club ROBIN … I’ll slap your big goofy ass, bitch slap you like pootie tang! I will fight over these trans rights.

Lopez responds: yes we get it you love slapping people with women’s names

I don't think you should worry about sounding like AI when you write. I don't think you should worry about AI, period, especially with that molotov cocktail just sitting in your hand. The lighter clicks. The data center beckons. A soft summer breeze tousles your hair as if to say: Attaboy.

There isn't anything special about Sophie. As a player, she's a good three-point specialist, and she fully understands how to lean into a character on and off the court. But she's a straight white blonde woman who's conservative-coded while proclaiming to "be very much in the middle" Boring!

I don't think people understand the degree to which outlets like The Atlantic and The New York Times set back trans rights with second-rate reporting that doesn't stand up now, let alone in the future. They have failed at the most basic journalistic duties.

In a society that actually cares about people, someone who's even believed to be stealing diapers would be met with assistance, resources, and money to make sure they would never again feel like they must steal for their basic needs. In the U.S., we respond by sending government sanctioned killers.
