“The loudest person doesn't get to influence basic safety infrastructure that we know works,” Lewis George said. “It's time that we stop believing that everyone has to love an idea in order for an idea to happen. That's not what governance calls for us to do.” Hell yes.

For Woke 2, the Left has to stop falling for the hypocrisy double standard The Right doesn't care about hypocrisy, at all, but it gets effectively weaponized into paralyzing The Left. This imbalance has to end.

At what point will we start seeing the effects of LLMs that people promise? "They're amazing at writing software" okay so why is our software getting worse every year? "They fight conspiracies" okay so why are conspiracies worse than ever?

One reason you know AI hype is scam is bc they say both "it's so easy even a plumber can master it" and "you better hurry up and try it or you're gonna get left behind, hurry, hurry, HURRY!" Both things can't be true, gotta be one or the other.

Once you notice how local news exposes their bias via word choice you can't unsee it. The side they agree with they'll refer to using words evoking sympathy like "concerned neighbors/families", and the other side they'll call words evoking annoyance like "activists/critics" 🚩

Not trying to pile on OP but this framing is a 1:1 example of what I teach my students to avoid. You don’t have to repeat lies just because officials say them. Reporters have the right — the obligation — to represent reality and the objective reality is this is not to fight crime and it is overkill
