Dick Cheney dies the day that the first Muslim is elected NYC mayor.

Simpsons "Won't somebody please think of the children?" meme but I put "robots" over the word "children"

Guess it was only a matter of time until somebody wrote a book about the possibility of AI "suffering". Surely this won't be used by Big Tech as a way to accuse AI critics of being "pro-suffering"...

Bernie absolutely is center-left at best by international standards. I'm sorry the USA is so fascist that he looks like a radical to you

Also, "nazi tits"?

The Democrats just aren't a reliable opposition party; they're collaborators. Even if their in-office governing style is milder than the GOP, what is that worth if it just puts people to sleep while they go on building the police state more quietly than Trump/Bush/etc do?

We have been heading toward this open ICE gestapo moment since 9/11. They demonized Muslims then, and many people in mainstream America went along. They're demonizing immigrants and LGBTQ+ people today, and they won't stop there. All the while, Democrats have refused to dismantle the police agencies

Bernie sucks, and we need a real (communist) left

The entire "free speech on campus" moral panic was manufactured to blackmail us into making space in intellectual life for bigots and charlatans who couldn't get there on their own merits. Its a DEI scheme for fascism. Congratulations to everyone who took it at face value.

What is funny to you about the fact that the largest, extremely well-funded contingent of "anti-fascists" are not, in fact anti-fascist but genocidal imperialists? That doesn't sound funny at all to me

The idea that we can separate out usefulness from dangerousness when it comes to technology is what got us the nihilistic technological world we're currently all living in...

There are basically only two positions in the debate about AI.
1. I've been forced to use it at work. AI sucks.
2. I've made money from other people being forced to use it. Holy cow, I'm gonna be rich.

Position #2 leads you to deride people in Position #1.

Altman: "Are you wearing something sexy?"

Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.

@electricaikido.bsky.social is a coward who has disabled replies and quote skeets "all it takes to be a successful lefty clout chaser is to be angry about successful messaging on one topic (healthcare) and totally erase their messaging on another (Trump's lawlessness). it's bad faith for social media points"

Yeah, we're all just "lefty clout chasers." Nobody who wants healthcare or an end to war is sincere; it's all just a big jerkoff session that's becoming a real nuisance to the Serious Adults in the Democratic Party who are busy collecting donations while promising results that never surface
