I am positive that Alito, his lying ghoul colleagues, and the Republican Party delight in the unnecessary deaths they’ve caused. I expect they kneed their hands in bliss, that they are the cause of an increasing number of women’s preventable deaths. Because they are inhuman monsters. Fuck him.

We present a typology of traps to avoid: 1. Believing that AI systems are minds 2. Believing that AI systems are theories 3. Believing that cognitive science can be automated. Learn to recognise and avoid these traps. Failure to avoid leads to numerous problems.
Table 1: Typology of traps, what goes wrong if not avoided, and how the traps can be avoided. Note that all traps in a sense constitute category errors (Ryle & Tanney, 2009) and the success-to-truth inference (Guest & Martin, 2023) is an important driver in most, if not all, of the traps.

Christa Pike is in a "critical condition, receiving life-saving care". Seems it was decided, not that "she must die" but rather "she must only die in a formal, state - sponsored ritual, to make us all feel better"? Strikes me as bizarre and perverse, to say the least. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

What use was it to bring the writer and activist Chanel Miller to campus in the spring just for fraternity brothers to scroll, bored, on their phones as she movingly shared her experience as Emily Doe, the victim of Brock Turner? As I wrote at the time, I was floored and dismayed as I sat in the audience with one of my brilliant undergraduates; we heard Miller’s shattering account of being sexually assaulted by Turner behind a dumpster at Stanford University after a fraternity party. Her talk was riveting, and there was so much to learn from it. And yet many of the male students who hailed predominantly from fraternities — 15 percent of each chapter was required to be in attendance — were so tuned out that Miller commented ruefully: “You know, this has been my hardest gig, because they didn’t turn down the house lights. I’m not sure how you professors do it, because it’s so hard looking out at this sea of mildly disgruntled faces. I mean, I’m sure you’re all very moved, but …,” Miller smiled. The implication being, it didn’t seem like it, from her angle.

They make the world a more hateful place. That is their goal — make no mistake, if it weren’t Muslims, it’d be someone else. HATE is Republican bread & butter. Show me a Republican, a MAGA, a conservative that DOES NOT speak ill of some group. They don’t exist — it is ONLY a party of HATE.

No. Trans folks in the US have been targeted repeatedly. That's awful and you have my sympathy.
Within the context of a single post we wouldn't consider it a direct threat or targeting a protected category. le send trans folks to concentration camps.
