literally your customer base was 90% parents of young children who want a good future for their kids in which they can be free to be themselves, no matter who they are. you told those people to go fuck themselves. they won't be back

Which is, of course, then a short step to saying this non-attractiveness is all women’s fault

This screams liability to me. A couple years from now - get a diagnosis that doesn’t go well, find out AI was involved? Lawsuit. Laid off, AI involved? Lawsuit. It’s subjectivity masquerading as objectivity.

Taking your premise as a given (which is a LOT) - then we should isolate children from AI 10000%. Cognition is part of the human maturation process, and if kids can’t learn to do it? The strictest laws we can create (with criminal penalties to the AI companies) should be in place

I Want You to Understand Chicago
Politics Chicago
2025-11-08

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.

Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again.

An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next.

Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. β€œWe could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st.

Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

Decisions of the utmost gravity and consequence to life on this planet made by Trump unilaterally based on completely false understandings. But one thing's clear. He really admires Rocket Man.

Or perhaps it will? You’re assuming this move is because they want more boys in college getting educated… what if they don’t?

Hey relational ethics bros - So what’s the thinking on reactivating recently canceled Disney accounts? If I’m all about punishing bad behavior (F Trump), should I necessarily reward good behavior (F Trump)? … Someone over there did green light the anti-fascist gold of β€œAndor.”

Historians might look back on our era and diagnose a systemic Failure of Imagination. From Zuck’s push for cool sunglasses (Really? This is the future?) to seemingly everyone’s recurring surprise at Trump’s fascism, we’ve lost our ability to speculate outside our peculiar box of space time.

This is probably a lot more effective than cancelling your Hulu subscription tho of c you can do both.

A defining part of my generation is to have gone through a period where you occasionally daydreamed (and had at least a few real conversations about) zombie apocalypse preparedness.

Unpleasant, gross but obvious thing to point out: the β€œwoman’s body” Trump doodled on the card to Epstein? Look at the β€œbreasts.” Those are tiny. Undeveloped. Trump drew a child.

Oh, Trump is standing and talking. How disappointing.

Yo! He *tries* to fire her! C’mon! This isn’t too hard - don’t obey in advance and all that!

Texas forbids law that keeps guns away from unhinged people Despite recent massacres in the state, GOP leaders ban a proven tool to help stop them.

It’s worth politicizing today’s shooting at a Target in Austin, because Austin Police Chief David said β€œthe suspect does have a mental health history.”

This is an incredible artifact. I’ve often wondered what the hell they’re gonna put in his museum, this is a good start.

I’m confused. Is #materialists the worst Captain America movie or the best Madame Webb?

Trucking is the single largest job for men without college degrees. There is no trucking company nor corporation that won’t adopt this technology over the next 5-10 years.

A chart shows the increasing views that a viral, false claim about USAID saw on X, as it was amplified by right-wing influencers. A headline reads: Falsehoods Fuel the Right-Wing Crusade Against USAID. A sentence reads: Nearly 15,000 posts on X over two days mentioned USAID and Politico, with many users falsely claiming that the humanitarian organization paid the news website millions of dollars. Note: Data includes posts on X between Feb. 5 at 9 a.m. Eastern Time and Feb. 6 at 10 p.m. that mention both β€œPolitico” and β€œUSAID.” Source: Tweet Binder by Audiense.

As the Trump administration and Elon Musk work to dismantle USAID, the government’s lead agency for delivering humanitarian aid for generations, right-wing influencers have flooded the internet with falsehoods about its work, promoting unfounded claims and conspiratorial thinking. nyti.ms/4htWHN0
