Anthropic banning “abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude in its new usage policies is proof to me that tech companies are going to moderate violence against AI before they ever moderate violence against women and minorities

What I *really* want an interviewer to do with these desperate sweaty CEOs is say, "Now that Trump has said he wants you to call it 'Trump Intelligence' instead of 'Super Intelligence', are you planning to update your marketing?" and then don't reveal that you made it up until after they say yes.

I’m hesitant to link to Amazon but I also understand that they’re going to be something like 75% of my overall sales. If you’re going to buy Effin’ Birds from Amazon, these are the cheapest prices we’ll see this year, and I do get a little kickback when you follow my link.

Notably this is just at the federal and gubernatorial level. If we start adding in state legislators and local Dems who've gone openly anti-trans we'd have a whole goddamn book.

a good example of how Democratic party politicians love to come out as transphobic and then victim-blame trans people when we inevitably reject their program of segregation: "They blame the Pride Caucus for the bad press caused by ODP and the Acton/ Kaptur campaigns."

"We're all in this together" deserves more skepticism, especially when invoked about those in power. Real question: are we? If someone's goal is "fight fascism" and another's is "protect my personal power and status even if it means collaboration" then no, we're not remotely out for the same thing.

We need most of those other forms of technology to exist in the world. We don’t need AI. It helps some people do their jobs a tiny bit better. Why the fuck are we building data centers for what is, at best, a minor improvement?

Hey cis people You do not get to use the word “tranny”. Not if someone else uses it. Not if you’re making a joke. Not if you’re being ironic. Not if you’re making fun of someone who said it. It is not your word to use UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

With the book’s release, I want to give a brief overview and outline a few of the key arguments. I’d include links to contemporary events but there are too many connections. The worst part of writing about race, computation, and police power is that it is always timely.

Everyone is so tired. Exhausted. And I'm talking to so many friends and colleagues who are hoping for a functional institutional power to come along and take care of them, take the annoying work and worry away. An employer, a publisher, a big funder, an elected leader, etc. I think it's just us.
