When it comes to AI, it seems people are dismissing the calls coming from inside the house because of what house it is. You don’t have to like the house that is burning, but certainly we all want to keep the fire from spreading to other houses.

Meeting w/ hostages shouldn't be seen as anti-Palestinian any more than saying "Free Palestine" shld be considered antisemitic. Oct 7 really happened. ~2000 souls in a population of <10 million were massacred+dozens abducted. War crimes are war crimes no matter who does them, no matter the excuse.

I don't like Newsom but the idea that the only way to avoid dealing with him is to have Harris back underwhelms me to the extreme. www.politico.com/news/2026/09...

Newsom says he won’t run for president if Harris runs again

“I don’t know if she runs but we’ll see,” Newsom told CNN in an interview posted Monday.

I’m seeing a lot of skepticism about the threat AI poses to humanity because of the (well founded) cynicism about the tech bros building it. Please look up the hugging face incident if there remains any doubt in your mind about the dangers of more intelligent AI causing chaos in the future.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAl is.
GenAl is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.
But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Not just that but Tolkien also said, "Evil cannot create anything new, it can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made."
Sound familiar?
Misha Loren
Just now
The analogy of the One Ring for GenAl is quite powerful, especially when you consider how it seduces users with the promise of easy power. That quote about evil being unable to create anything new feels particularly relevant to the way these models remix existing human art. It really makes you wonder if we're trading our creative soul for a shortcut.

Mutants being a metaphor for oppression and prejudice breaks down when you have people classified as “omega level” — essentially walking talking weapons of mass destruction. Magneto would and should absolutely be actively monitored by the government.

There is no satisfying answer to this. “Anime” isn’t a genre, it’s a different medium. There’s an anime out there for everyone. But if you want to “get into” anime, there’s no better way than to watch something that is bizarre, deeply disturbing and/or completely esoteric.

Doomsday prep 1: Rewatched the first Captain America movie. For a war film, the action is subpar. no wonder I forgot about most of the movie. Characters are the best part, but would have liked to have gotten to know Steve more before he becomes Cap, and more of the Howlers but with a young Fury.

Whether it comes wrapped in Islam, Christianity, or any other religion, extremist ideology that teaches LGBTQ+ people are sinful, evil, or deserving of punishment creates a climate where hatred can flourish. www.cbsnews.com/news/berlin-...

Berlin police did not identify the suspect, who is still at large, by name but said that he was already known to police and is from Berlin.
