Seems like it all hinges on precisely whose preferences you think you are revealing.

CEO dude needs to remember that AI is first and foremost a mirror.

Yeah guy I’ll bet you have anxiety.

If you can never think of an example of someone saying "Welp I fucking chunked it on that one my bad guys!" then you shouldn't take political advice from them.

We badly need to revive the War Declaration clause.

(It was because of the stupidity)

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

One thing I hate about all the defenses of Platner is the underlying, deeply dumb and destructive belief that it's all about casting. Wanted: Rugged bearded tell-it-like-it-is oysterman to appeal to the great anxious white center, the holy grail of politics. Further details not of immense concern. >

“MAGA’s fundamental shared quality is a total lack of theory of mind for other people” is a theory that keeps getting validated by reality - look at almost every decision they’ve made in the war with Iran, and how they seem constantly surprised by the unanticipated actions of other parties.

Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy.

We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.

There’s an enormous idiot in this hypothetical system and it’s either Platner or it’s the person giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Maybe need to convince Costco to add a culture section to their newsletter.
Hell, they might go for it; they’re a surprisingly enlightened company.

But the worst part was the noise and vibration. And the engine switches state at every stoplight, so you can’t ever get used to it and filter it out - it intrudes on your consciousness continuously.

Combustion-based cars really *are* acoustic vehicles.

We are never going back.

Our Bolt was in the shop for more than a week after we got rear ended. The insurance company gave us a rental, another Chevy but with an internal combustion engine.

We *hated* it. The acceleration was poor and, worse, the power curve was completely nonlinear and very high latency.

And I feel like because of this we are going to get Biden 2.0 in 2028: someone who is stable, is familiar with government, and isn't anywhere close to drama.

Real degrowth looks like ruinous taxes on billionaires.

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

Nah, just Don as in mafioso.

This regime is best understood as a mafioso presidency.

Degrowth is for billionaires.
This is just wrecker shit.

America has a long history of pointless and wasteful military adventurism. And in our quest to normalize Trump we’ve stuck his Iran war in that box: “another war, just like the rest.” It’s not like the rest. It’s an act of insanity, rogue state behavior. Don’t know how this ends until we admit it.

Republicans are such utter fucking trash humans and it’s about time all of us see them as such and say it regardless of any prior relationship

Trump calls on divided GOP to pass SAVE America Act ‘at the expense of everything else’ Trump suggested the SAVE America Act includes a number of provisions that are not in the proposal.

If you care about free and fair election this November, this is the most important story of the day. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Probably true about content creation for public consumption, but there’s a lot more to knowledge work than just content creation.

I don’t think it’s quite that though.

I think Trump thinks the entire world is a giant reality TV show.

We won’t achieve even our most basic aims if all we think about is GHGs.

Gods I fucking hope not. The oil companies have wrecked enough already. Let them go down with the sinking ship that is the GOP.

That’s for phosphorous. Urea is for nitrogen.

ChatGPT isn’t worth shit - is actively dangerous, even - in the hands of someone without critical thinking or problem analysis skills.
The focus of knowledge work is going to move away from knowledge per-se as in facts and information. But knowledge-worker core skills will remain essential.

MAGA’s detest education and the educated.
