I’m not convinced “(Generative) AI is here to stay”.
It’s massively expensive to train models, and companies are burning billions and billions of VC dollars on it with no clear path to profitability.
The idea that we should all get familiar with LLMs because they’re “here to stay” rings hollow

gen AI is an attempt to industrialize knowledge work. Luddites keep coming up in this discussion, because it's incredibly relevant.

Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

someone wants you angry. ask yourself if that's in your best interest
The thing that's really hilarious about this is that Valens is apparently being harassed for being too pro-furry while Malloy was harassed for appearing anti-furry.
It lends credence to the "trans women can do no right" thesis.
But also, folks, we're doing this to ourselves.

These people are there to make sure the COMPANY is not harmed, not the community. If the person is well intentioned, they are forced to toe the company line or pushed out altogether.

Because I've been thinking with Jenny Odell's Saving Time for the past year, I believe that time poverty is a big reason why people don't want to do anything that looks remotely like revisiting something is supposed to be already done. Which includes maintenance and fixing bugs.

Teens turn to a variety of online platforms, but YouTube continues to stand out. Roughly nine-in-ten teens report ever using it. TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat are the next most widely used platforms.

Everyone on this list voted to the right of Ted Cruz.
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

Ask yourself: “If AI isn’t a big deal in the grand scheme of things and is unrelated to the rise of fascism, why are fascists so preoccupied with its proliferation, adoption, and use?”
