never ever ever want to read an article about trans people written by a cis journalist ever again thanks. maybe fucking source and pay trans writers? it's like trying to read a football article by someone who's only ever had the concept of balls explained to them by three small dogs in a trenchcoat.

If people really believed that you needed to engage on conservative-dominated platforms to be effective they’d be active on Truth Social, Rumble, and Kick. They are not. They just don’t like X as much anymore and they want it to be your fault

No, Anthropic and OpenAI are not like Uber - they burn way more money and have no path to profitability, nor is AI "like Amazon Web Services," which cost less than $70bn over 9 years and had a proven worth and path to profitability almost immediately.

Silicon Valley is famously supportive of early-career technologists through trying to eliminate their jobs with AI, so this sounds like wishful thinking too
I think it's telling that they only want "early-career technologists".
I read that as saying, "We only want people you if you are young, inexperienced, and desperate for work; the kind of person who won't/can't push back when we tell you to do things that are unethical or illegal."

"If Democrats got on a coordinated message," let me stop you there. The people trying to coordinate these messages are incurious and reactive to public opinion, if you want it to be their message then start doing short form videos about it so normies see it instead of complaining on here.

I'm trying to be as diplomatic as possible when I say this. I expect boomers, rubes, billionaires, and racists to vote for Trump. That makes sense to me. But if you are 27 and trying to get a job in tech AND voted for Trump, there's a good chance you use words like "supposably"
This NYT story failed the reader by not digging deeper. One subject dropped out of college after one year (five years ago) and lists "Windows" as his skillset. Story should be: young conservatives who blame immigrants for their personal failures and whose lives won't be improved w/ fewer immigrants

Man folks really are finding out who Rob Reiner was now. THAT DUDE.
Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.
Us: Across your entire career?
Reiner: In a 6 year period.
Us: That sounds-
Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.
