The problem with doing things is often other people are also doing things and sometimes I encounter them.

In Sapiens, Yuval Harari quips that humanity was actually domesticated by crops and beast instead of the other way around. I wonder if instead of "training" AI, AI is domesticating humanity.

Four GOP Senators. At most four Repubs in the House. Together they could stop nearly all the mad-king's rampages. They would be known to history as Profiles in Courage. They might/would lose the next election. But people have sacrificed a lot more, for a lot less.

Reskeeting with alt text Yeah this has become the utter pain of what we once had. Used to be you'd run to Google for a trusted and quick search and now I try to avoid it when I can Legit ruined their own product to the point of being unrecognizable

An image depicting a drawing of side by side Google search results.

The title says "Googling stuff..."

With the left side saying "... Then"

Then a drop down with/"search results:" and "the thing you want" in a lavender box

On the right it says "... Now" with a drop down that features a VERY long list of things starting with ai nonsense, 3 iterations of "sponsored result" a box featuring "people also ask", a sub box saying view products with images and what is likely the top of the lavender box that would Contain "the thing you want"

Buckle up. The crowd that brought you "Fifteen is too young to transition" and "Fifteen is too young to terminate a rape baby" is about to bring you "Well, now, actually, fifteen year olds, historically, were married with children by now, so you know, it's not really pedophilia..." (Some were 13.)

If Schumer votes AGAINST this but enough Ds vote FOR it that it passes, he needs to RESIGN immediately. He will have shown himself to be absolutely ineffective as a minority leader. He has to go. Literally resign tonight.

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

It's pretty obvious that a lot of US mainstream media either doesn't recognise authoritarianism or doesn't want to call it out. Either way, it's an excellent way to destroy trust in your institution.
