Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm…

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

Just helping with editing here. These bots aren’t sentient. They’re doing what they’re programmed to do. OpenAI, a private company supposedly bound by laws, committed federal crimes.

one of the 21st century’s great tragedies is seeing a media industry gutted by decisions made by the tech industry elevate a bunch of industry shills as the people meant to help the public understand how tech works and what impacts it’s having on the world
one of the 21st century's great tragedies is that millions of smart people were convinced to bury their heads in the sand by either stochastic parrots discourse or Zitron-style capabilities denialism and haven't updated based on new evidence. nature is healing but it's so late.

MLK said in TWO PLACES that the ultimate logic of racism and segregation was the genocide of the segregated. I feel like folks intentionally forgot this extremely basic fact for the sake of political expediency.

OMG Infowars figured it out!!!
infowars instagram post for "Cat Food For Men: the first ever cat food formulated with mega-doses of taurine and tryptophan for optimum masculine performance. When hunger calls, answer it with a feast that only the manliest deserve. Available in Chicken Dinner, Beef Tallow Pate, and Beef Chunks In Gravy."

comment by crjustus: 
"Out of solidarity, I got neutered the same time Mr. Mistofellees did. Now, with Cat Food for Men, I can feel that much more of a connection with him."

comment by @chuckholt5977: 
"Cat Food For Men is perfect for weeks-long stretches where you can't bear to go outside and face other human beings. Keep a box by your bedside so you don't have to walk to the kitchen. Much endorsed."

When I think about the radicalizing effects of social media, I also think it’s important to remember that for the vast majority of people, there’s an element of choice. Because you can be exposed to bigoted and conspiratorial content online over and over from a young age and still not believe in it.

This morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops. But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents. I’m heading to Danbury.

The fundraising texts you delete are working on someone. It’s infuriating and heartbreaking. An 85yo in Ohio gave more than double the value of his home. A 91yo in an Indianapolis senior facility gave 25K times. The DCCC/DSCC don’t just tolerate the spammers who exploit seniors. They take part.

Ted Chiang on AI: www.theatlantic.com/philosophy/2...
Being open to the possibility that LLMs are conscious is the same as being open to the possibility that Microsoft Word is conscious, or, more precisely, that multiple distinct consciousnesses are dormant in every Word document containing a conversational transcript, and that they are awakened every time the document is loaded. Should you consider the possibility that every time you open a Word document you are bringing multiple conscious interlocutors into existence, and every time you close one you snuff their existence out? No. Contemplating that scenario is not a good use of your time. Even if the Microsoft Office team employed a philosopher who said you shouldn’t be so certain, because consciousness is not well understood, that would not be sufficient reason for you to take this idea seriously. We don’t need to fully understand the nature of consciousness to definitively say that certain things are not conscious, and conversational transcripts fall in that category.
