Dolly Parton has sent my daughter a new book every month for years as she does for thousands of children. She help fund the development of the Covid vaccine. She’s not a billionaire. I think as non wealthy people it’s hard to even imagine how much billionaires *could* be doing with their money.

they released a statement which said, more or less, "and in case you think we did this by accident: we didn't. we killed them on purpose."

Those aren’t reviews. Those are opinions, and they have their place and uses, but they do not substitute for deeply informed and engaging critical writing, which is a skill that takes time, practice, and experience to develop.

Does anyone else feel like getting ready for bed is this seriously labor-intensive thing (even tho it's not that serious) and actually delay going to bed because you don't want to get up to brush your teeth and whatnot? Or is that just me?

If historians know something it is this: nothing is inevitable just because it is popular. AI is not an exception. Nor is fascism.

here’s a link to our ISO post if it’s easier to disseminate (please rt 🥺): www.reddit.com/r/NYCapartme...

A detailed and heartbreaking report on how Israel systematically destroyed Gaza’s bookstores, printing presses, and publishing houses. It turned centers of learning and knowledge production into ruins and ashes.

Please share widely.

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.

The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

Two days ago the incorporated Twitter AI said that the world needed a new Hitler and they’re still writing this article

The so called "Israeli Palestinian conflict" is not actually millennia old, is not a religious conflict, and frankly isn't that complicated. You either think a nation state is worth mass murdering children for, or you don't.

I don't.

There are occasions where the needs of marginalized groups are at odds. They're rare, but they occasionally happen.

The mass starvation of Palestinian children is not one of those times. No one *needs* to do genocide, and anyone saying otherwise is lying.

Palestinians existing is not antisemitic.

Nazi shit. Visceral, actually existing Nazi shit. Gestapo. Secret police. Randomly inflicted terror against targeted groups in centers of opposition against an illegitimate, minority regime of masked men in brown and green uniforms. Actual, real life, nazi shit and it's home grown All American.

like i don’t know how to describe this except as a rejection of democracy and Christian tradition re: the sick and the poor for what are essentially nietzschean reasons.
