Part of it is, if they let the wealth tax go through, they won't be able to afford to pay it because moat of their wealth is not real. It's all made up Monopoly money

Be nice if Ann Wagner would ever meet openly with actual voters in her district to talk about the things we care about, or at the very least meet Fred for a debate. Instead, at best all we'll get is lab tested talking points handed to her by lobbyists.

most of the time, victims want the execution because prosecutors have told them this is will "close the book" on the case. that's just a lie. victims who don't want the death penalty are just ignored.

My latest @newscientist.com cartoon
Panel 1: a large robot (composed of AI servers, network switches, storage arrays, and power distribution units) and a human are talking.

Professor "You don't want to destroy humanity do you, lLLM-A-9300x?"

Robot "Haha. What a silly question, Professor. I have no desires or feelings of my own whatsoever."

Professor (relieved)"Oh good." 

Panel 2: they walk on. The robot continues  "I am merely a tool of the company that created me. And that company, being composed of humans, will naturally have humanity's best interests at heart."

Panel 3: The professor is conspicuously quiet.
"Right?" says the Robot.
…
More silence

"Professor?"

ELRIC AT THE FORGE OF FOREVER (2019) Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 14 ½” x 6 ½” When I tossed out the old container of paints used to do the cover painting for WORDS OF RADIANCE, it landed upside down in my wastebasket on a piece of paperboard I had been using as a palette for something else.
Elric stands on an outcrop of rock with skulls at his feet. He wears a black hooded cloak trimmed in gold and jeweled bracers. He cradles Stormbringer as the length of the runesword, glowing purple, extends well above his head. Below him water spills frothy onto the shore but as it stretches back, placid and glassy, it gives way to erupting vents of lava.

Pope Leo XIV: Someone who says 'I'm against abortion' but says 'I'm in favor of the death penalty' is not really pro-life. Someone who says that 'I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants who are in the United States,' I don't know if that's pro-life.

The one thing that can be perceived as different for ML agents that can also be asked is: What did we train it on (read: program it to do)? The agents can't manifest abilities we don't train them on independently (given we don't give them unrestricted communications to go find those resources)

the question is - is live streaming showing the barbarism or is it spectacle? Every time the death penalty has been executed publicly, it was for spectacle, and this is not going to be any different.

why do republicans feel so free to be corrupt and bigoted? they face almost no consequences. the "opposition" party doesnt take them to task for it and they are fixated on flipping gop supporters instead of cultivating their base. the mainstream media is in full-on capture, worred more about money.

They can't have them too far out in the country. They need to be near major data thoroughfares, not to mention energy and cooling resources, which means close-ish to existing population centers, even in rural areas.

Politics is all "throw the bums out" now. If everything hasn't been fixed by the time of the next election, the people currently in office will get thrown out even if it was the people that get into office next that caused the problems. It's all vibes and immediate gratification.
