Hating the Game The cooperation game, the murder game, and acting in good faith with people you know are acting in bad faith.

The reality is America is a huge multicultural multilingual country, not a white ethnostate, and venomous white supremacist MAGA crybabies lose it whenever that reality becomes unignorable. We should always seek to increase, not decrease, their discomfort. www.the-reframe.com/hating-the-g...

The new hummingbird babies add at least 20 points to scores, they give a lot more to try optimize on top of missions, goals, nectar. New powers are very fun!!

Takeaway:
Any time the Trump administration says "AI" or anything about software or data, what you should hear is "repression as a service"

2. AI to execute orders that humans would refuse

Public Health To Drop ‘Health’ And ‘Public’

Writing my responses was cathartic. I bet it will be a hoot reading the responses.

CANADIANS! Our government is once again trying to convince us AI is good, actually, and they have a whole big survey about how we can use AI. I pretty much just said "we can't until we can do it without mass theft and poisoning the environment" over and over again, and you can too

After spending the weekend rereading Canadian and BC Human Rights laws and precedent, I'm on the hunt for a Human Rights Lawyer to challenge my sport competition ban. Pro Bono would be amazing. I have some leads but any other recs for BC lawyers would be appreciated
