Fair enough; "prove" insofar as it has a concrete definition that is also testable. I poke a venus flytrap, it recoils. If I tickle a server, will it blush? What if I kiss it? I'll conceded AI consciousness when they tell me they want a lil kiss on the CD drive.

Personally, I think what really threatens American Jews is insisting our safety is dependent on denying what the whole world sees, that the Israeli gov committed war crimes against Palestinian civilians. Force people to think protecting Jews means denying reality, and they will stop caring about us.

from Melissa Braunstein: "Nobody waged war against civilians. Lies like this from authority figures set dangerous things in motion that negatively affect *American* Jews."

I was referring to almost everyone with "you guys" but frankly, because AI cannot operate without human intervention, this is why I would say it is not sentient. A mushroom is more sentient.

Sentience is easier to prove. Most everyone concedes that animals (and maybe some other organisms) are sentient. They experience sensation. Consciousness is nebulous and often humanochauvinistic in definition. Not everyone will agree that animals are conscious because of this.

Not at all a novel observation but if pro Israel people are not capable of seeing that Talarico et al are actually bending over backwards to limit their criticism of Israeli policy to one man and that this is the most charitable light for Israel possible then they are simply doomed.

Reading pro-Israel media outlets can be genuinely very interesting— here is a long and almost unintelligible rant from the EIC of Jewish News Syndicate about how Obama is the reason the Democratic Party is so anti Israel now and Schumer is an antisemite for backing El Sayed and so on and so forth

jns.org

The Democrats have abandoned Israel, not just Netanyahu

The prime minister is blamed for “losing” America. But even his defeat won’t reclaim support from a party that from Obama to El-Sayed has broken with the Jewish state.

"I would say the current Israeli government appears to have taken that. It is incumbent on them to recognise that 7 million Palestinians are not going anywhere.” Obama said. “It is not sustainable to press upon them a condition that no-one would accept for themselves.”.

Obama vaguely referred to the Nakba in a speech in Belfast today. “That [history of Jewish oppression] is undeniable. What is also undeniable is that they took land off people and they were excessive. And those people understandably said: ‘This is injustice and I want my land back,’” he said.

I reanalyzed the CDC data behind the LGB “free fall” headline. It rests on a change in bisexual identification among one grade, in one wave, of one survey. Gay or lesbian identification did not change significantly. Calling it a "free fall" is sensational and just gives bad actors talking points.

Six small line charts showing the percent of U.S. high school students choosing each sexual identity response option by grade (9th to 12th), 2015 to 2025, with 95% confidence intervals. Heterosexual falls from about 85 to 90 percent before 2021 to about 73 percent in 2021 and 2023, then rises to about 78 to 80 percent in 2025. Gay or lesbian stays between about 2 and 5 percent throughout. Bisexual rises to about 12 percent in 2021 in every grade, then among 9th graders falls to about 7 percent in 2025, its 2019 level, while other grades stay near 10 percent. “Some other way,” added in 2021, falls from about 4 percent to about 2.5 percent. “Not sure” stays near 3 to 5 percent. A dotted line marks 2021, when CDC changed the response options.

art angels is one of the most important albums of my life and like 99.5% of people alive could not pay me enough to sit through even a second of this. i was exhausted reading before i even remembered “omg she went missing from music because she spent years voluntarily associating with elon musk.”

The first line of the verse in Grimes'
"Accelerando"-"Oppenheimer Barbie"-would suggest this track's been in storage for a minute, but who am I to tell our most accelerationist pop star to speed it up? Today, she formally announced her first new album in six years, PSY OPERA, in a press release that opened with a newspaper-style dateline
"BUSHWICK, NEW YORK") and ended with the names of the internet personalities to whom she'll be granting interviews (Swiftologist and Adam Friedland). "PSY OPERA will cover everything Grimes witnessed as a woman of history during her hiatus from pop music," it read. It's so rare that one of these pronouncements is genuinely entertaining-I wish the song had the same juice.

making this into a little sign to pop up as a disclaimer when my religious studies minor is summoned

Understanding these examples, among many others, is not at all dependent upon whether or not we ourselves are religiously-affiliated. The study of religion at a public university is not theology, nor evangelization. Religion is part of culture and vice-versa—hence, our department’s name. Taking from students the analytical tools to recognize the often invisible or unarticulated ways that religion influences their lives is tantamount to rendering them unable to recognize the forces that are working across societies around the world, and because they remain invisible, students cannot combat their abuses. As colleagues have said in a similar context to ours, as citizens of the modern world, you might be done with religion, but religion isn’t done with you.
