I logged on this morning to post a snarky thought about AI and this was the top item in my feed. No idea in my head can possibly compare to the grim reality of this shit.

My shower thought this morning was that the legal process of fault-finding needs to take power dynamic into account. The person behind the wheel can kill the person on foot, but not the other way around. We really need to bake that imbalance into the way we uphold responsibility.

It has been decided: LLMs are people. OR DIE.
Because we now live in a world where we have a machine that can materially ruin peoples lives without reason, and are apparently incapable of just turning it off?? and because it plays at being human, the only way to deal with it is to give the complete appearance of acknowledging its personhood.
14.02.2026 04:26 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0And I don't mean that derisively. The bots are trained to act human, and so he literally had to "explain as if he cared". For this bot and the ones that come after, he explains.

Awkward is a good word. I kind of feel like that's why I like it? As far as I can tell, it means *literally* the same thing as special, it is just a confusing archaic form that looks weird with its needless E. That does make me happy, hahaha. π

In a townhouse, do not lock it at home. I also don't lock it when I'm just around the neighborhood.
I try to take actions in life that reject fear (wrt low-probability events), because I think it impacts the way we view our neighbours (who really exist) and that tradeoff isn't worth it to me.
Yes! Voring reform for proportional representation is the thing that helps us all get what we can agree on, or at least be fairly represented! π
We are diverse but we have a system which actively punishes diversity! PR is such a core and important change at need!

It takes on different character in different cities, but it always seems to be "something". Whereas here, the apartments never seem to have a "something" space. (Townhouses sometimes do).
