One House Republican pushes back on Trump's Iran threat today — Rep. Rep. Nathaniel Moran of Texas: "I do not support the destruction of a 'whole civilization.' That is not who we are, and it is not consistent with the principles that have long guided America."

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Screenshot of basic webpage with three images from Zeta Gundam side by side, text that says Char Aznable followed by "Look at him. I hate him. I want to tear him apart limb from limb from limb from limb." Below all of these is a clickable button that says "Kill Him"

The internet was never a perfect place, but at least a lot of these media companies gave a darn about kids and gave them safe, fun spaces to be fully entertained online. Alas, this generation will never have that experience. Maybe those that had these places will bring them back for the next one.

As a reminder: LLMs are not intelligent beings. You are providing an input to an algorithm that calculates, in a very complicated way, the probability in which words will follow each other in response to your input based on whatever data was used to train the algorithm. The algorithm doesn't think.

Advocates for AI say it's just another tool, and you can't blame tools for how they're used. Listen, I don't blame hammers just because they might be used to hurt people. But if I found out that the factory making hammers relied on hurting people as its business model, yeah, I'd stop using hammers.

"Am I the problem? No it's everyone else who's woke" Hobby confessions #530 #anonhobbyconfessions

"Here's a gaming one for you, since that's a hobby. I find it very, VERY funny that Gamers(tm) will complain that shit like Sweet Baby Rays or whatever the fuck it is is ruining gaming with woke when it's very obvious that the games industry is already just flinging itself to bits with massively overinflated AAAA budgets, large game companies eating smaller studios like fucking potato chips, a concerted effort by game companies to start using AI slop, and a greater push to squash all creativity under the boot heel of corporate interest.
But no, it's the fact that there's a black guy in Assassin's Creed that's the real problem."

love reading a 12 year old girl in 1911 write a mech pilot tweet in her diary abt the experience of driving an automobile

plaque at a local museum. "No girl, unless she knows how to run an auto, knows how it makes you feel, to push one thing, pull another and start a machine to moving that weighs so many more times the amount she does. Sort of a thrill, an uplifted feeling as though you were doing something wonderful. You are, too! Fancy moving something that weighs TONS by a few twists and turns. I held my breath for fear something would happen."

-Isabelle Young, age 12

This is why I still think that the internet, not the issues, are the root cause of this culture war. People (including journalists…who are people) imagine the loudest, angriest positions as default positions because those are the ones that get eyeballs in an ultra-competitive attention economy.
