people love to say "you should read conservative opinion pieces too" and every conservative opinion piece is like "corporations should have the right to vote but minorities shouldn't. source: I made it up"
if they were courageous they would quit. there's nothing brave about killing kids at the whim of an irrational old pedophile

It's telling that the "trauma" of seeing a mentally ill homeless person is contextualized as "I shouldn't have to be exposed to this" rather than "It hurts me that someone we live in a society where human beings are abandoned to live like this."

If you threaten to kill one person thatβs a TOS violation. If you threaten to kill a million people thatβs discourse.
Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance.
And you know why?
Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.
I think thatβs quote-skeets :)
Other drivers honking their horns at me is cancel culture
"the left is ignoring the usefulness of AI" no it's more like it is kind of central to left leaning politics that causing massive negative externalities for your own personal convenience is a shitty way to live. you're just saying you do not like the implications of this position
how's the "tech is full of wokescolds" bit looking now that anyone critical of the numerous socialised harms caused by genAI is increasingly framed as an anti-progress killjoy even by their own peers
why would democratic leaders say that, give us that they are currently finding ways to continue to vote for more funding for ICE? why do we keep inventing fake democratic leaders in our heads instead of dealing with the fact that the ones that exist are fully compliant and must be replaced?
US people: today is your last chance to submit a public comment in support of transition-related care for youth, and against bans on Medicare/Medicaid funding to facilities that provide such care. Personal comments are best!

"by enforcing the use of inherently addictive technology in the workplace, employers are (whether intentionally or not) making their workers addicted to work."
I have very serious political beliefs. My main tactic is telling everyone that everything they are worried about is a distraction from the real issues.
My doomer-worry about AI is not that the LLMs become omnipotent and take over the world but that the wealthy and powerful use it as a means to consolidate power and marginalize or lay off skilled workers and also everything about our technological and political and social life gets worse
Yes, and another important question is: do you trust the government to decide who is evil enough to be locked in a cage? If not, congratulations! You're an abolitionist.
it's like our entire sense of morality has been filtered through the act of consumption, and the highest good we can imagine is feeling good and clean and pure as individuals, unpolluted by the obvious evil are around us
meanwhile, real change requires the kind of work you need a drink after
If there's a moral difference between telling teenagers to commit suicide, and building a company that makes a product that tells teenagers to commit suicide: why?
My theory that AI maximalists donβt know how to use a computer remains undefeated so far
in an era when carnivore diet influencers are in charge of the american nuclear arsenal we have to admit the "annoying vegan" stereotype barely ever actually existed and the "all meat diet guy" is real, increasingly omnipresent, and way more annoying and inconvenient to actually be around

To wit: this isnβt the easiest thing to do, but if youβre wondering if the new guy at the action/protest is an undercover, and they use the term βnarcoticβ in conversation, you have your answer. It just slips out of them.
Throughout the ICE raids, local and state police who answer to Democrat politicians have consistently done the dirty work to enable ICE to continue its campaign of ethnic cleansing.
Politicians who talk about "maintaining order" are complicit in this campaign of terror.
It's up to us. Just us.

Spicy take: I wonder how much the push for LLM usage in software engineering is about pushing people with a conscience out of the industry
