Screencap reading: They don’t have bodies. Without embodiment, critics argue, there can be no general intelligence. This reflects an anthropocentric bias that seems to be wielded only against AI. People would ascribe intelligence to a disembodied alien communicating by radio, or to a brain sustained in a vat. An entity that responds accurately to any question, but never moves or acts physically, would be regarded as profoundly intelligent. Physicist Stephen Hawking interacted with the world almost entirely through text and synthesized speech, yet his physical limitations in no way diminished his intelligence. Motor capabilities are separable from general intelligence. The sentence starting "Physicist" is highlighted in blue. Source: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-00285-6

Shame on @nature.com for publishing this ableist trash, and shame on the authors for writing it:

You can’t reform the devil

Never forget that the people who convinced you trans people are a threat to your children all belong to a network of child rapists.

No wonder there is so many trying to suppress these files from being released. Not surprising it’s the worst people

JANE FONDA: “I know Don Lemon. My husband created CNN. And I will fight for their right to speak… they arrested the wrong Don. This is how autocrats act. We can’t fall for it.”

To help maintain interest. I think more and more we get decision making fatigue in our current media climate, and I think offering fewer decisions to make can really be beneficial.

Gosh this is so cute.

I love Bianca. She’s an original on my island and I keep her 😊

Bianca cracks me up #acnh #animalcrossing

Right, can we quote someone else. I’ll vote for the person that runs his social media account before I would vote for him. I wish they’d stop trying to prop him up

Final fantasy VI is my all time favorite game. I’d highly recommend playing 1, 4 and/or 5 before dabbling in 6.

The absolute accuracy of this.

"More than 3 years ago, the famous Roman emperor Julius Caesar passed away" written over a marble bust of Caesar.

New favourite example of scalar implicature

My picture was used in child abuse images. AI is putting others through my nightmare | Mara Wilson I was a child actor, exploited by strangers on the internet. Now millions of children face the same danger

I wrote about my experiences being sexually exploited as a child, and what we need to do to make sure AI doesn’t make that a reality for millions of children.

Eh, I don’t think the non-violence was ushered in the change. Ask the bricks thrown at stonewall. Ask the black panthers

My conspiracy theory is that the civil rights bill only got pushed through because of the movement against capitalism that accompanied the civil rights movement.

Same. I love that song so much and all the feels

seeing corporate outlets repeatedly refer to ICE beating the shit out of protesters as “clashes” may be the thing that sends me over the edge

I was at the grocery store today and everyone at there had internal bleeding form beef prices.

This was the first game I beat. I was five or six. The gameplay I did myself but some of the secrets, etc, I got help from my brothers and neighbors. I miss that kind of sharing while playing video games, it was such a collective experience even with single-player games

That’s cute, I dig it

I got the itch recently. I played for a little bit and experienced the baseline toxicity of the players in that game (yes, I’m generalizing I know there’s good peeps too). After enough of that I resubbed to Final Fantasy XIV.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

How'd you get what we don't know?
We don't know how to help
Only know how to hound

I feel like, “It’s houndstooth,” can now replace, “This is a Wendy’s, ma’am.”

Jan 1: this is the year of new Me

Jan 12: [eating shredded cheese directly from the bag] new years resolutions are a bourgeois construct for disciplining bodies into productive units for capital
