What's the role AI should play in national security that doesn't cross these lines? How would anyone hope to enforce that restraint?

So insane to be like: dude I swear that was someone else's bomb and it fell right next to ours

Didn't Anthropic kind of sully themselves by working with the Pentagon in the first place? Even if the bomb fell in the right place, they are still participating in bombing people (for money)

back in my day looksmaxxing was called vanity

On Traitors you can watch logical fallacies vitrify in real time and smooth brained demi-celebs getting pressure cooked.

"reinvent judaism" was not in my 5 year plan

i thought a lot about being driven to school in a car fueled by oil we got from blowing up kids who were going to school

White culture literally is just the absence of empathy.

Worst fiction I've ever read? That's right,, it's the US Constitution

It's not even Purim wtf

this is cursed AF I wish I never saw this

Thinking again about all the little lies MAGA people tell themselves today

Okami is a cozy game IMO

Society if Pokemon had been based on the periodic table of elements

slopulism as a term goes pretty hard

Holy fuck laptop RAM costs like $250 now?

Footnote from a book that says "1 This was once revealed to me in a dream."

Thinking again about Sam Altman saying "it takes 20 years + food to 'train' a human," and ok let's pretend that's normal: his business model is that we should all pay $ to replace years of human learning with computer learning? so the end product is humans that lack complete development?

For me, yes pro democracy, let's all vote. But what actually needs to happen in the US is very different from those examples. The road is long. Let's be real: expanding SCOTUS with term limits, curtailing police militarization, "get money out of politics" (prosecute bribery). We need 10X protestors!

I like siggis skyr

Yes, millions of US citizens are now rallying behind democracy, civil rights, and immigration, but what institutional leverage is there to enforce our demands?

The premise of this is sound, but in each example there was a strong institutional force to counter the authoritarian push. But we saw our legislators fail to remove Trump during the 1st term. Our Supreme Court is completely corrupt and beholden to him. Voter suppression is already happening.

Disappointed that sputtering deposition rates are measured in angstrom per min and not in meters per century

can't wait to move my family to the Impermeable Slab

I'm really enjoying "Uprooted" by Naomi Novik. The story is highly original, and I'm drawn in by the exposed humanity of the characters. The world/atmosphere strikes the right balance of grit and grandeur. So great to find a mature fantasy novel for adults.

The floor plan for the planned ICE concentration camp in Social Circle, Georgia:

Taught a class on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion today, and every one of my students said they've seen content on TikTok that comes directly from it, without knowing before today what the source was.
