I got my undergraduate in political science and worked as an "engineer" (software, so fake) for years before disability forced me out of the workforce. I encountered this attitude everywhere. Most of my colleagues had little to no cultural or social scientific education. As a result, they often

Why are we acting like living in a bubble is horrifying? I live in a bubble. I exclude all sorts of shit I refuse to care about or devote energy to from my life. Like an entire genre of music that has been a cultural signifier of people who hate me most of my life. And I'm better off for it.

I'm literally only responding to this because non-bots are saying this is true, but... No. A proper Marxist movement seeks to bring the means of production under proletarian control. If so-called "AI" has any productive worth, the Marxist answer is to bring it under worker control, not abolish it.

I am curious whether the current surge in transphobia from Democrats is a product of the Atlanticist wing of the party elite listening to their counterparts in the UK or a homegrown product of major donors.

Hegemony (if the US still has it) is not enough to make war inexpensive and frictionless for empire. Leaving aside the total immorality of American empire, it's also simply not suited to the task it's intended to do. Whether American elites understand that decides how catastrophic its end is.

The amount of cis entitlement going around right now is just one more exhausting element of what is an endlessly exhausting environment right now for trans people. We're tired.

This is correct. But, also critically, if you built your software in such a way that it becomes impossible to turn it off you are either an incompetent developer or an unforgivably reckless one and either way you're a case study in why SWE's should be subject to licensure and loss of said license.

One of the great moral failings of American liberalism is its addiction to American exceptionalism, which leaves American liberals ignorant of the fact that 'compromise with the fascists on their hate issues' always ends in becoming fascists, too.

The thing that is important to understand is that a rule is never neutral. The biases of its enforcers will always determine who is bound and who is protected and I think we all know who falls in which bucket.

I firmly believe that everyone has the ability to create art in them. I also firmly believe that AI 'art' is antithetical to art. Because art is the act of expression. It isn't having an idea, it is the act of bringing a feeling or a moment or place to life. It requires two humans in dialog.

This is one of the great conceits of those who hold power - that not changing the world away from the world which serves them is not itself a choice. Such logic allows for a great deal of violence and social murder to be rendered natural and faultless. It is not.

This is a pretty typical liberal misunderstanding of the emergence of the modern American far left. It is not that the American far left thought he was one of them and felt betrayed by him being a liberal - it is that they thought liberalism would fix things and discovered it didn't even want to.

I stumbled across Blanchardism when I was fourteen or fifteen. I'd never actually encountered transness and I wouldn't actually understand it for almost a decade from that point. But just encountering this kind of notion was enough to convinced me my desire to be a woman couldn't be real for years.

Reading a genderbender fanfic in my early twenties. The author presented an argument in the comments that their character wasn't trans by providing a decently description of transness (for 2012). Which I read and went, 'That's me... You mean I can be trans?' Then things happened. 10 years later...

Bluesky has its own Gamergate, it's centered on Will Stancil, and a number of the ringleaders & participants are trans people.

That is a completely insane yet factually true sentence to write, and if you understand it then we should form a support group.
