It's crazy that TERFs are so cooked in their own rank juices they don't even talk about actual violence against women, even when it's front page news. It's all the imaginary specter of the Trans Infiltrator.

Backrooms is a pretty solid metaphor for AI, but it's also a good metaphor for AI companies
The interview, like so much of what Altman says, is devoid of substance, hyping up how AI will cure diseases and improve people’s lives without ever really getting into how. In Altman’s very first statement to Guiducci, he marvels that “we have been seeing this exponential progress and we have been confused about why more of the world has not seen progress the way that we’ve seen it.”

Large swathes of the world have not welcomed AI because they’re the direct recipients of its downsides: data centers, slop content, useless tools being forced into their work and lives despite Altman’s claim that AI isn’t something that “happened” to people, and what jobs remain in the current economy going to people who can spew the latest AI buzzwords rather than the people who do the work AI steals from. If the backrooms are an AI metaphor, Async is the Sam Altmans, Elon Musks, and Dario Amodeis of the world, who can’t see why the people who keep randomly falling into its monster-filled hallways don’t think it’s the best thing to ever happen to them. In Phil’s conversation with Mary, he can only focus on the backrooms’ mystery and promise, even as he sits in front of someone traumatized by her experience there, and even as the Backrooms YouTube shorts show how Async researchers themselves have experienced its horrors. Phil doesn’t seem to understand–or cannot allow for–the idea that Mary might not want to be conscripted into Async’s vision of the future.

Seems like if you're going to make a national story out of Hasan Piker, who campaigned a few times with the Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan, saying Israel causes antisemitism, you should also make a national story out of the favorite intellectual of the US Vice President supporting Hitler.

If you're in these states, *TODAY* is deadline to register to vote. Arizona, Arkansas Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas. Even if you think you've registered: doesn't hurt to check! And there's a lot happening across them. A thread with stakes on each. ⬇️

Hastert’s death offers one last chance for Republicans to at long last account for his empowerment and reckon with some of their demons; not betting on it happening tho.

yeah, the reason republicans are just not going to budge from texas is the reason why armies try not to abandon their capitals. it isn’t necessarily a strategic defeat to lose the seat of power, but it is a profound blow to morale.

I have frustrations w/ Gen Z but it's primarily nothing about them and more about the way we've chosen to teach them - especially the younger cohorts in Gen Z. We've REALLY failed a lot of them in the world of education and I feel like I'm constantly playing catch up when they get to college.

While Millennials and Gen Z blame each other for ruining society, the same monsters that have been ruining society since before we were all born are laughing their asses off. Generational divides are made up, and that’s fine until they’re weaponized to keep us fighting over complete bullshit.
