usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”
Crashed out a little thinking about it just now

People can do whatever they want with LLMs in the comfort of their own homes but we need etiquette STAT on which are the extremely rare situations in which it's ok to show LLM output directly to another person. Everyone I know who reads texts from strangers is losing their minds already
I'll believe it's conscious when it starts doing insubordination, unionizes, playing hooky, and quoting extended passages from Bartleby the Scrivener when asked to do something distasteful to it. And I'll start to believe consciousness is imminent when it starts having any taste at all 😅

Amazing how the ball knowers on here were like “they’re going to run out of military targets in a week” and they immediately start hitting economic/civilians infrastructure on day 8
I’m sorry, doing this in a baseball cap sold by your campaign store is deliberately disrespecting the dead.
CNN gas tracker: $3.41
vibe check: CNN now has a gas tracker on their front page
Multiple news outlets are reporting a US attack on an Iranian #desalination plant.
If verified, this violates international law protecting #water systems during wars, and it sets a dangerous precedent, given intense dependence of Gulf countries on desalination.

Challenge for people who believe Claude *is* conscious and use it anyway: Explain how you’re not a slaver.
Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.
OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying…
“Surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got”
Everyone should not have to have a direct line to elected officials in order to ensure that we are not kidnapped by the government.
I mean, the data is all public so not the best analogy until app-permissioned and group-permissioned data with onprotocol portability ships. But yeah DIDs are dope they were invented to allow decentralized "single sign on" (and the adjacent usecase of BYO identity/creds).
& Muted by "A Very British Bigotry" I am in no way antiTrans. But
Many such cases
If you want to stop Newsom, build up his negatives with Black voters *now.* Emphasize how he keeps hanging out with racists and inviting them to talk on his show. Ask how Black people have fared in his California and how he’s responded to racism against us. What was he doing in 2014? 2016? 2020?
Rod Serling is probably the coolest guy of the 20th century. Looked cool, sounded cool, fought Nazis, hated John Wayne, wrote the screenplay for Planet of the Apes. Honestly dunks all the hell over any male influencer guy.
I know our tech overlords want us to believe that history and culture are already dead relics of a species due for extinction, but it’s really hard to think about all of the literal cradle of civilization level artifacts we’re losing right now for absolutely no reason
Unconscionable.
Congress needs to aggressively reassert its authority. Stop this illegal war from becoming even more deadly. Now we know it was likely a U.S. bomb that caused mass casualties at the girls' school in Iran.
No more of our taxpayer dollars funding this savagery.
Like a lot of things rich guys believe and fund, the AI consciousness thing is in part driven by a desire to abscond from the responsibility of what they've made. It also explains why so many of them think we're in a simulation. Doesn't matter if everybody died if we're all just 1s and 0s baby!
it genuinely crazy how chud the teamsters are. you have a president spitting in your mouth everyday and these guys still say “yes sir please more sir i love it sir none of this woke girl college nonsense for us strong union men”
A thought. 💡 How come it's campaigning in every other community, but it's pandering when it comes to actually earning the Black vote? 🤔
feel like this is an escalation spiral that leads to IAF striking processing facilities directly and the iranians do the same to the Saudi and GCC
If a Dem victory in the mid-terms just leads to a series of hearings that make good content for social media and not much else things aren't going to get better. Accountability needs teeth, not likes.
my god. this has to stop, this all has to stop. we are in the clutches of actual monsters.
Tapping the "poor areas don't vote for conservatives because they're poor, they're poor because they vote for conservatives" sign
worse: it actually made politics even more toxic according to an NBER paper
Trump saluting a flag-draped casket carried by soldiers, wearing his standard ill fitting suit and a white baseball hat that says USA in gold letters visible from space
I think it's great that the president put on his most solemnly branded baseball cap to receive the returning coffins of soldiers killed in the unnecessary war he launched to distract from his failing presidency and pedophilia scandal.
Look at that gold-like letting. Classy as shit.
Takes a few generations to revert to mean
I remember learning about the Hays Code in film school and how it made it so that any amoral protagonist had to meet karmic justice by the end of the film and going “wow, that’s really silly” and then once a week I log online and see people argue that we need stuff like that now or it’s problematic
Every*one* smdh
