“Uncritical adoption of AI, will inevitably create people without critical thinking, and this may be a feature - not a bug, as it represents an attack on human agency itself.”

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

I wonder if all the Portland protesters could sing Baby Shark on repeat … that might just be enough to drive the ICE agents away.

I love that a shark has joined the resistance!

it’s said all the time but I think we should continue to hammer home how insane it is that we got dead-eyed bros trying to sell us robots that will free us from the supposedly cruel burden of “creative careers” instead of the actual cruel burden of “doing menial household chores”

my genuine theory is that dems know once they admit to a little of the fascism they have to admit to all of it and they are trying to avoid that at all costs

bort @crushbort.bsky.social · 14h

is it not weird that every day there’s a new video of anonymous masked men having the time of their lives beating/shooting/disappearing people and the dem response from the top down is “republicans want to double your health insurance premiums”

Assassin's Creed pulls planned game about the Civil War, apparently because having a black protagonist fighting the KKK would offend too many Americans

The canceled Assassin's Creed Civil War game was a powder keg waiting to explode

Ubisoft was reportedly working on a game set after the Civil War era, but canceled it due to politics and Assassins Creed Shadows backlash.

""you shouldn't post about stuff you've never thought about" says the guy who's whole argument hinges on the unknowable and the inner workings of the mind being unknowable"" is one hell of a ditch to die in. Like, I fucking thing about this shit all fucking day. It's half my fucking job. Fuck off.

In fact, after reading your replies I think it’s entirely possible that a) you’ve invented someone to argue with b) you’re an asshole. We’re full up with those today.

Cameron Campbell @camerondotca.bsky.social · 18h

It strikes me that your whole shtick is “how can we know the unknowable and, therefore, how can we know other unknowable things” and yet, you seem willing to assume things about me. This is… odd. Also bye.
