The BEST thing that true believers in AI could do is stop evangelizing to people, like me, who think it sucks. Do the hard, years-long work of detaching your beloved technology from the worst people in the world right now: shameless fascists driven by greed and domination. They’re YOUR partners.

So the general directive is pretty straight forward and not in practice bad. But the announcement, where Hegseth took time to be outraged at Austin's anti-extremism stand down (amid a surge of neo nazis in the force), is concerning.

I'm afraid so. I go through this relatively often, thanks to *gestures at the world at large* Turns out, a lot of dudes get away with sexual assault, which enables them to a future of reward without that past as an obstacle.

Sorry (not sorry), but if you raped someone you are a rapist for life. There is no forgiveness, there is no reconciliation. You made that horrible choice and that’s who you are now.

"The [students'] prosecution ... is reflective of the systemic corruption at our universities. The Stanford 11 paid an enormous cost — nothing can restore the time, energy, education, prospects for employment, and the physical and mental health they lost, nor all the sacrifices of their loved ones."

LA is HOT. But does it have to be this hot? Did you know shade from a single tree can drop temps by 20° or more? Yet working-class neighborhoods like South LA, East LA, and the Valley get the least tree coverage and bear the brunt of extreme heat. Let's finally cool things down for everyone.

I’m willing to change my mind in light of evidence about pretty much anything. And I actually know a lot more computer scientists and ML experts, who have explained to me how it works, than you’d think. But I still hate generative AI. Nothing I have seen yet has been enough to change my mind.

Then it should be used very specifically for specific jobs, with strict guardrails, and not propping up our entire economy, and being forced into everything. The same way I don’t need to know how to use, say, software for dental offices, or a forklift, most people don’t need AI.

At Valdai, Putin warned Europe about the dangers of ‘escalation’.   On the same day, Russian drones struck a school in Kyiv and hit a major bridge while civilian traffic was moving across it.   The source of the escalation is not particularly difficult to locate.

Last year alone, the Kremlin rejected multiple peace proposals, including a Christmas truce. In May this year, it openly threatened to murder foreign diplomats in Kyiv, while Russian drones and missiles continue raining down on Ukrainian cities night after night and killing civilians in their homes.

The things AI can be sort of useful for are also things that don’t require the level of scaling (and therefore environmental damage) we are seeing and don’t require theft (because they need bespoke data sets that are carefully created and curated). So their arguments don’t even support the premise.

“But it doesn’t use as much water as people think it does!” But it still means more data centers raising electricity prices, lowering water pressure, disrupting ecosystems, constant noise in poor neighborhoods. It still stole from thousands of artists. It’s still being developed by the worst people.
