I can understand why the features of a supposed AI assistant are compelling. I kinda wanna try it too. But I know too much about how these things work. Do not give a cloud-based agent access to your shit. Especially one from the big tech companies.

🚨 BREAKING: In a major loss for voters, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to allow the Trump administration to initiate voter roll purges using a flawed database involving Americans' private data. The ruling will disproportionately impact naturalized citizens who've been wrongly flagged in the system.

ICE cannot do what it’s doing without local law enforcement. They need their manpower and infrastructure. That means if you want to stop ICE you are going to have to confront police collaboration and police power. I’m sorry but progressive hopes of avoiding this conflict are a recipe for failure.

Should we talk about what "inherently harmful" means today? No, we absolutely should not. It's likely to devolve into useless pedantry. However, we can talk about why people think labeling something as "inherently harmful" is a useful thing to do.

If I was just a little more condescending, I'd start a web series where I sit down with someone who thinks LLMs are inherently harmful, help them install one on their laptop, and then we sit and wait for it to do something harmful on it's own. 30 minutes of uncomfortable silence.

Mass surveillance is not the same thing as mass public recording. People aren't against the second thing. They just want to have a say in how it's used. I'm glad people started recording racist cops. I'm glad people started recording Karens harassing Black people.

Stuff like "kids should get free lunches" is framed as "radical" but it's actually those kinds of basic acts of humanity that are required, to detach from enmeshment webs of cspitalists. It also inherently neutralizes survivorship bias aimed at the poor.
