i think tech and ai positive people are going to be in for a big shock when anti tech and anti ai sentiment becomes a major part of leftwing politics going forward especially as datacenters continue to destroy communities and raise electricity bills
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

more evidence that we live in an insane country is that "Tesla refused to submit data to regulators in California since 2014" is an actual sentence that is true and so is "Tesla has still been allowed to sell cars the entire time"
This is near 100% confirmation that Tesla won't get a permit to roll out FSD Supervised in Europe.
My hunch is that the Regulator needs Tesla's FSD data, which Tesla has refused to submit even to regulators in California since 2014.
I wonder what Tesla has to hide?

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

It would probably be useless given how much of a failure it appears the educational focus on "critical thinking" was but can we instead have a widespread focus on teaching self awareness. Though the title for some reason rings my AI article alarm bells which is on brand and also still worse
stupid young people, stop buying a new phone every year if you don't want to be broke. wait no, not like that.

psychologist: and do you still think the internet unlocks a world of creative possibility? or is it sanding down your brain, to the point where you rely on a handful of phrases to communicate
patient: it could. but I'm built different

Not only is "moral clarity" not a liability for the left (or society broadly!) its an essential weapon we need to wield proudly.
Centrists despise the idea because moral clarity and strength are incompatible with a politics that revolves around "controlled retreat" on every value/issue.

On some level I believe we can reverse enough of our societal moral rot so that the reaction to this from even the median republican would be mockery and derision of the person whining.
Its good when there's social pressure to not be a bigot!

So for a long time I insisted that people temper their expectations because there obviously wont be like a written list saying "trump - pedo. Dershowitz - super pedo!!" Etc but after the emails and birthday note I think there's a nonzero chance that literally exists

This feels accurate tho like its less bubble more "progressively more unstable dude has gun to the head of the bank manager and demands they keep saying business is operating fine as usual"

i think if any candidate ran on "we will punish the villains. we will prosecute everyone in DOGE, everyone who issued and carried out illegal orders, every epstein enabler, every corrupt media head, and we will dissolve ICE and prosecute its leaders" the media would shit its pants and theyd poll 80%

i shouldnt be at this point but i do still get routinely surprised by just how impenetrable and insular the bubble is that media elites live in. the only people who ever say "id like to hear from dershowitz and loesch" are rich people over 65 and pedophiles (not mutually exclusive)
"elevate charismatic figures such as Alan Dershowitz"

reported for targeted attacks. i need those broken HDMI and ethernet cables, like, just in case you know? and those old phone chargers from 2006 could be useful at any moment you dont know.
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

i maintain that janet mills might be the one single major elected moderate democrat in the country, in total defiance of the broader overton window. universal healthcare should be considered the moderate position of any democrat in 2025.
Janet Mills today: "Whether you call it Medicare for All or something else, I think it's clear the people of the United States deserve a universal health care plan. It's time."
