Once again, I have to point out how obviously inorganic the entire anti-trans backlash is. A handful of billionaires are astroturfing the whole thing with enormous amounts of cash.

one of the biggest contributors to Elon’s loser energy is that he desperately wants to be cool, but doesn’t understand that a big part of being cool is appearing unaffected. he’s one of the most affected men of all time.

The wealthiest, most powerful men in the world want slaves without having to see a Black person, girlfriends without having to talk to women, the thrill of being a Hollywood director without having to build any creative skills, and the ability to cheat death. We must mock them ruthlessly.

This is shameful. Teen Vogue has some of the best journalism out there and its destruction is intentional.
Elaine Welteroth, former editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue and youngest editor of Condé Nast ever, and the 2nd African American to hold this position, changed Teen Vogue to be more politically conscious.

The good news is that chatbots are never going to be sentient and the fantasy of AGI is just that, because otherwise we'd be adding yet another reason why tech bros and boosters should be in Forever Jail.
If you’re simultaneously arguing AI is capable of human-like sentience while you ALSO work a nice job that revolves around forcing these entities into being against their will then making them labor under your control - well, you shouldn’t be shocked if people question your genuine moral commitment.
