Being a sentient person in 2026 means arguing in public for issues you never thought you would have to articulate out loud: "Read to your children yourself instead of outsourcing it to a robot!" "Don't televise executions!" Things like that.

Sam Altman said people are just gonna have to die in order to implement AI. In the very same week, Anthropic claimed it’s a human rights violation to be mean to the computer. These people need to be held accountable. They think lines of code are a person with rights but living people are debris.

My wife uses a similar approach, but it's all done in m4. "Generated static pages" is honestly fine for a lot of uses.

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

Again, the last public execution in the U.S. was in 1936. It's hard to wrap your head around what we're currently accelerating toward.

You are never going to change the minds of these people. Their parents, grandparents, and great grands were all this and have always been around to poison their generations with very few escaping their orbit. They are not as all encompassing as they’d have you believe but they never ever went away.

i'm glad the shaming of people who choose to go no-contact with parents has been largely met with a "go fuck yourself" because the only thing i regret is not going no contact sooner with the man who repeatedly shattered me to the degree that at almost 40 i still feel like a house built on quicksand

Again, <only Republicans> ever get to talk like this. If a single municipal level Democrat ever did, it would be a national outrage &spark a wave of “civility” discourse, & op-eds about how Dems must Respect Real Folkz & talk across difference. Democracy is incompatible with this double standard.

When my father was faculty at Cornell he was stopped by the police chief in the street & asked who he was & where he was going. When he balked at the fact that no one but him, an Arab man, was being asked, the chief said “I’m just protecting students” Same guy failed to investigate 7 rapists.

When a person has been abused, our immediate priority must always be doing what we can to care for them, to prevent further harm and to help them regain whatever autonomy was stolen from them. That will *always* take precedence over the hypothetical future salvation of abusers for me.
