The irony (and then lack of surprise) of this is just funny in a "I'm laughing because otherwise I would scream with frustration" kind of way. Of course, RFKjr, reduces access to vaccines & proven healthcare, "because chemicals are toxic", is going to turn around & do this. Eugenicist & scammer.

‘Death comes with Anti-Vaccination’ Patrick Kroon, 1920-30 www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/collectio...
 The personification of Death (wearing a top hat and carrying a scythe labeled "ANTIVACCINATIE") strides across numbered grave markers or tombstones.

As I said back in 2020, 2021, and 2023: Without meaningful repercussions, a failed coup attempt is just a training exercise.

This by Courtney Maum is where I am too. I am grateful to her for the words...
For me, the subject of AI detection is an ouroboros. I’ll speak only for myself, here is my opinion. I didn’t ask for artificial intelligence. It’s not something I need, it is not something I desire. And yet, it barged its way into my life and stole all of my books. All of them. Stole them. Trained off of them. Did not compensate me for this theft. So now, AI can write a book like me, because it stole my own work and learned my breed of humor and satire. So if someone runs an AI text detector on my creative output, it will probably “test positive” why? Because AI is a contaminant that has embedded itself into my work by stealing it and using my own work to perpetuate itself. It will test for itself and find AI there because it AI is a virus that has contaminated the DNA of my current and future writing—a form of intellectual rape. A kind of colonization. A raging plague that some gatekeepers are opening the door for.

If you ask me what I’m currently working on, the answer is nothing book-length. I’m not going to publish a new book in this current landscape. That’s a stance of privilege, I recognize that. And I can’t hold this stance forever, I can hold it as long as I have savings from my last book.

This current literary climate isn’t acceptable. It is not acceptable to have a thing thrust upon us that takes absolutely everything, and then be forced to prove that we are not the thieves.

UBI would solve this too when paired with universal healthcare and access to therapy. UBI = more time to build yourself through volunteer work, care taking, community service, etc.

"Medicaid work requirements" are above water with the American electorate (net +18). Calling the same policy "Medicaid eligibility cuts" meaningfully decreases support (net -11). I do not understand the insistence on adopting the framing of those trying to destroy Medicaid
Bar chart of polling data from Data For Progress.
Title: Voters Support the Same Medicaid Rules When Called "Work Requirements" and Oppose Them When Called "Eligibility Cuts".
Description: Under new rules, some adults can get or keep Medicaid only if the state confirms that they meet work, school, or volunteer rules. [Split A n=613] Do you support or oppose these Medicaid work requirements? [Split B n=598] Do you support or oppose these Medicaid eligibility cuts?
[Split A] Medicaid work requirements — Support: 57%, Oppose: 39%
[Split B] Medicaid eligibility cuts — Support: 42%, Oppose: 55%

Feels like this is getting closer and closer in the UK as well. And as @animalarchaeology.com so correctly pointed out, this only happens when university leadership participates in the reframing of universities as job-factories rather than places of education and learning.

I hate it when I can't find something because the last person who touched it doesn't remember where it was put, because their brain registers it as not important. Intellectually, I know it's not their fault. Lizard brain wants to scream. It will be fine. Just frustrated.

Slurs derive their injurious force from a history of violence and dehumanization that folks are at least implicitly aware of. YOU CANNOT DEHUMANIZE A MACHINE IN THIS WAY. THERE IS NO HISTORY OF VIOLENCE THAT ENABLES "CLANKER" TO FUNCTION IN THIS WAY.

Things aren't falling apart because people suddenly started caring too much or demanding equality. Everything is breaking down because a handful of ruthless billionaires hijacked our governments, gutted public services, and turned the entire system into a rigged piggy bank for themselves.

Asked why the WNBA continues to experience these heightened distractions, Cloud said, "Men."
"The men now that are like 'Oh, we need to protect the WNBA,’ y'all were the same ones saying we shouldn't be paid," Cloud continued. "Y'all were the same ones saying we shouldn't have been invested in, saying we're a joke, the same ones that don't respect Black women. So, if you're going to protect women, that means all women. That includes Black women, trans women and the list goes on."

I think this encapsulates perfectly what my view on AI is, & as @wolven.blacksky.app has stated, how the current terminology is not working for us. LLMs are great prediction models! They can also be very helpful for assistance technology. Not replacing creativity, skill, understanding, decisions.
