Anthropic banning “abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude in its new usage policies is proof to me that tech companies are going to moderate violence against AI before they ever moderate violence against women and minorities

like, this isn’t even an “AI could create that much value” versus “no it can’t” argument - let’s grant the premise, let’s say it does in that world, with these people in charge, unemployment and poverty explode and no safety net is built to handle it

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

Yeah, I don’t understand what is puzzling about this at all; these men perceive their wives as objects. To be policed, controlled and shaped as they see fit. And yes, the women themselves can and do buy into white supremacism but that doesn’t change how their husbands see them

I'm just gonna bookmark this for future reference when Dem pundits complain about how the party has trouble communicating its message to voters. The reason you keep running into trouble with your branding isn't campus radicals. The reason is that your opponents purchased all the media outlets.

Ai bros hate artists because deep down they know they have no goals, no dreams, & nothing that they truly love. It’s a dark void that eats & gnaws at them so they lash out at those that have that spark. All they want is to drag you down with them to prove that it’s all hopeless

I wish ai wasn’t so fundamentally detrimental to the environment and we could just ignore the people who generate ugly slop to get a rise out of artists. I wish there was a simple solution yet ambiguity once again applies & tolerating that is so difficult for so many people including myself

Whenever they show their hatred for artists they show hatred for what they truly believe they can’t ever have, or achieve. They truly think artists are snobs and elitist and think themselves more special than them, and I wish we would stop fuelling that by retaliating in the way some people do.

If Democrats think winning back congress this year and the presidency in 2028 is enough, they are sorely mistaken. We'll be right back where we're at in 2032 with an even more fascist and white supremacist Republican party. It's not enough to win power.

The idea that it's somehow better for every single person in the country to adjust their clock instead of for individual organizations to adjust start/end times as needed is full on nerd bait for me. I cannot understand the mind of someone who believes that.

Yeah I don’t know why sexual assault gets a pass from these people (I mean we know why but) - like if it came out that I had done vehicular manslaughter while under the influence, I think people would be well within their rights to not want to support my stuff anymore, even if I was mega sorry.

I am heartily sick of "he said he was sorry, let's move on". Nobody is entitled to forgiveness for anything. Apologies and restitution are the bare minimum. That's not the punishment, that's just what a person needs to do to make things up to the victim.

ICE builds more prisons because the goal is explicitly to warehouse surplus labor, criminalize poverty, and assert total control over all of society. When Stephen Miller claims there are 25, 30, or even 50 million "illegal immigrants" in the US, he's betting on how many of us he'll need to imprison

At the leadership level anyway the two parties are "represents billionaires with openly racist beliefs" and "represents billionaires who have mostly submerged their racist and genocidal beliefs." Which is why you can't get any party leadership to sign up for transformative change the people want.
