Trump's lawlessness is more pressing, but let's not forget: the GWBush admin was also overflowing with incompetent, corrupt Republicans who were pathologically hostile to the rule of law. None of this was necessary or helpful, but it made them feel manly and it was good money for gov't contractors.

“A detainee who is shackled, transported to a former C.I.A. black site, and intentionally kept ignorant of both his right to remain silent and the inadmissibility of his prior coerced confessions, cannot be said to be making an ‘essentially free and unconstrained choice,’” he wrote.

Touhou is a series of games where a woman with grapes on her dress can thirst massively over her boss, who is "what if Henry Kissinger were a transgender Buddhist monk so corrupt she became an oni intentionally". Also they look like this.

I strongly encourage Republicans to run on this message!

There are a *lot* of top priorities for Dems in the next Congress but forcing the administration to follow the law on spending is probably the top of the top priorities.

The rabbi telling Anthropic that he thinks what they’re doing is fine, because Claude is just a machine to him, but if they’re right (and it is conscious), then they’re world historic monsters, is really interesting.

So does the GOP force all of its candidates to prove they’ve physically and/or sexually assaulted a woman before they can run as a Republican? Sorta like a gang initiation?

this is more important than niche internet arguments make it seem: if LLMs don't work, who cares that Palantir is rolling it out for surveillance? Hell, maybe it's even good, if the state's machines start hallucinating the addresses of random Trump supporters when dispatching ICE. But they do work.

It is a little disconcerting that so many people who know a lot about LLMs on a technical level appear to go a little insane. It would be like if there was a really cool and effective new kind of pen, and for some reason about 40% of the people involved in the pen making process went mad.

I've seen a lot of posts claiming Geller was a rapist before he became a progressive and I've consistently seen two missed points in those posts. 1: Not all sexual assault is rape and not all rape is Lifetime TV movie stuff. But far more importantly. 2: Progressives commit plenty of rape.

That's where I've been for a while. We can't even reach questions about the death penalty itself because we fail essential predicates such as "fair and consistent criminal justice system" and "reliable death penalty verdicts that leave no reasonable doubt" and, as shown tonight, "humane execution."

remember: it saved no net money, social services US citizens are getting cut, and left the US in a weaker place geopolitically. none of the debates about fiscal responsibility, obligation to US citizens first, or 'hard choices' actually apply. they're all bullshit. killed people for nothing at all.
