the call to action here is to proactively remediate the potential of this kind of evil from ever happening in the first place

when I talk about the evil of turning people into a money problem to solve I am talking about people who turn the value of one hundred and fifteen seven to twelve year girls into a betting market payout

But it also takes a lot of energy to train a human. It takes like 20 years of life and all of the food you eat during that time before you get smart.

any solutions to the pedophile situation that do not involve hammers are woefully incomplete

Another quote elaborates more on American identity lacking "spirit of place" and how this often lends to violent relationships between Natives and Americans. This idea of Americans perpetually lacking "place" in their own identity also explains why traditions of practices that erase Natives persist. Coexistence is not condoned in construction of a nationalistic identity that was never inclusive of "Indians" from the start. "Indians, it is clear, are not simply useful symbols of the love-hate ambivalence of civilization and savagery. Rather, the contradictions embedded in noble savagery have themselves been the precondition for the formation of American identities. To understand the various ways Americans have contested and constructed national identities, we must constantly return to the original mysteries of Indianness.       Lawrence linked American incompleteness to an aboriginal 'spirit of place' with which Americans had failed to come to terms. 'No place', Lawrence observed, exerts its full influence upon a newcomer until the old inhabitant is dead or absorbed.' Lawrence argued in order to meet the 'demon of the continent' head on and thus finalize the 'unexpressed spirit of America,' white Americans needed either to destroy Indians or to assimilate them into a white American world. These have, in fact, been two familiar options in the history of Indian-American relations, both aimed at making Indians vanish from the landscape. But loosing this unexpressed 'spirit' required a difficult, collective, and absolute decision: extermination or inclusion. It is a decision that the American polity has been unable to make or, on the few occasions when either policy has been relatively clear, to implement. The indeterminacy of American identities stems, in part, from the nation's inability to deal with Indian People."

"Love-hate ambivalence"

Placelessness has its role in sympathetic relation and long term deception mimicry.

I really cannot relate to colleagues who claim to use AI to increase efficiency, do complex tasks faster, get more output,... I don't think science needs faster production and more outputs. Rather, it obviously needs more care and thoughtfulness, higher researcher involvement, increased reliability.

This is what stands out in Richard's thread to me: The problem is looking for & relying on shortcuts to use methods that require expertise. Scientists using stats w/o needing to learn it have been messing it up as we all know. They can now do so with LLMs but they'd have done it either way.

The reason you see me swearing is that labor law is a field uniquely susceptible to this pull, because in both sides of the aisle you will have lay people without law degrees often undertaking to write grievances and negotiate issues that have complicated labor law roots.

Dear union lawyers. Same to you. But also, teach your stewards the risks. The risks are real. Even if you suspect the other doing it, let them. Let them make the mistakes. Let them do unauthorized disclosures of information. Heck, nail them for it when you can.

if they were courageous they would quit. there's nothing brave about killing kids at the whim of an irrational old pedophile

There's this quote from the graffiti from the 1968 protests in France that goes, "you will die of comfort" and in my 20s I thought that quote was so true, but lately I've been thinking what's more accurate is, "you will die from politeness"

Given the public's attitude to this war, it should be the easiest thing in the world for our representatives to oppose it. There should be no excuse for Democratic lawmakers to be to the right of Rand fucking Paul on the issue.

Turns out Anthropic’s Claude was specifically the one used for the attacks in Iran.

ChatGPT explicitly was not.

Trump/Hegseth operational security: at Joe’s Stone Crab, a restaurant a 2-minute walk from the White House, someone was having a conversation about the attacks on Iran that were going to start in 6 hours. Loud enough for the founder of @TMZ.com to recount it in real time with his podcast cohost.

WSJ ‹ Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Is Dead:.... Last Updated: Feb. 28, 2026 at 9:41pm ET • LIVE 1 hour ago U.S. Strikes in Middle East Use Anthropic, Hours After Trump Ban

WSJ PATRICK SISON/ASSOCIATED PRESS Within hours of declaring that the federal government will end its use of artificial-intelligence tools made by tech company Anthropic, President Trump launched a major air attack in Iran with the help of those very same tools. Commands around the world, including U.S. Central Command in the Middle East, use Anthropic's Claude AI tool, people familiar with the matter confirmed. Centcom declined to comment about specific systems being used in its ongoing operation against Iran. The command uses the tool for intelligence assessments, target identification and simulating battle scenarios even as tension between the company and Pentagon ratcheted up, the people said, highlighting how embedded the AI tools are in military operations. The administration and Anthropic have been feuding for months over how its AI models can be used by the Pentagon. Trump on Friday ordered agencies to stop working with the company and the Defense Department designated it a security threat and risk to its supply chain.

lol even though they banned them the government used Claude anyway. Slop strategies for the Epic Bacon War. This could not have gone worse for Altman

"why are there so many more queer people today than there used to be?"

because Regan made sure that 90,000 of them died and then pretended that it didn't happen. this is what queer genocide looks like.

Hi, I have diagnosed c-PTSD and this is true and if you suck at tetris, any bright coloured fast game requiring rapid eye movement and decision making will do! it also helps if you witness something triggering and are trying to stave off an episode

not right now thanks

“surely no one would ever try to assassinate OUR heads of state just because we assassinated THEIR heads of state,” they think, thus perpetuating one of the great repeating fallacies of world history

And no one is talking about the fact that Iran isn’t Iraq. They’re bigger and stronger and they sit at a terrorism nexus and they’re part of an alliance with China and Russia.

I can’t fucking believe how truly horrible corporate coverage is.

It’s honestly alarming how the death of Khamenei has changed coverage. Everyone’s talking about this like it’s over after one day. It’s fucking insane.

What the fuck do you mean actual news outlets are reporting PEOPLE INSIST JIM CARREY MUST BE A CLONE OR REPLACEMENT when the guy retired from acting last year and clearly got 15 cosmetic surgeries right after like every fuckin rich person is doing nowadays

I hate this cyberpunk future

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to bomb this elementary school full of kids because he thinks it makes him look cool. also his scheming viziers will be betting money on it for fun. good luck soldier

“History was full of the bones of good men who'd followed bad orders in the hope that they could soften the blow. Oh, yes, there were worse things they could do, but most of them began right where they started following bad orders.”
