funny to me that last year taylor lorenz was privately trying to suggest i was being funded by peter thiel after we got into an argument over her shitty takes, and now she’s literally running cover for him saying being evil is good. quite a journey she’s on.
Taylor Lorenz: "Listening to this whole interview and these comments in context you see he is actually making a pretty nuanced point. You can criticize him all u want but taking clips out of context to manufacture outrage is so lame— critique what he actually said!"

“Patient Zero” was how the media INCORRECTLY referred to who they believed was the first HIV patient. It was a hateful term that sought to blame. And it was also factually wrong - they misread a study where the patient was referred to as “Patient O” - the letter, not the number.

Right… I mean, technically a fallacy, but wouldn’t someone who’s anti-antifa be a “fa” (or “pro-fa”)?And are the we all supposed to be against “fa”? At minimum, why aren’t journalists asking if this Cons MP is a “fa” or suppose “fa”?

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.
