Instead of getting up and leaving Plato's cave the obsession with thinking AI is a real conscious intellect is digging down and making a deeper chamber with even fainter shadows flickering on the wall, and proclaiming you're seeing the true light of intellect.

1. Holly Hunter is the best thing to happen to #StarTrek in a long time.
2. We really enjoyed the show! 🖖🏻
3. Paul Giamatti overacted, but that seems par for the course for Trek villains these days.
4. Looking forward to next week!

Watching (finally!) the 2-part premiere of #StarTrekStarfleetAcademy wearing a thematically appropriate t-shirt that belonged to my late friend Rocky Yeh. I think he would’ve enjoyed the show and we would have had a LOT to talk about.

While I’m not a fan generally of how wacky the tech side things have gotten since Discovery jetted off to the far flung future… of the future, I watched the first episode last night and it’s great! Some minor first show gripes but it’s pretty great.
People are review bombing STAR TREK: STARFLEET ACADEMY, and I have some thoughts about that

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Is Getting Review Bombed And That's Sad But Not Surprising - SlashFilm
Star Trek has been boldly and controversially progressive from the very start, so it's no surprise that Starfleet Academy is getting review bombed.

in a different and better trouser of time, AI stands for "attaché intelligence," and it scares people as much as our AI does in this timeline. the big difference (setting aside the number of legs involved) is that in their universe, that fear also involves some respect

These are concentration camps. And these are the numbers they're comfortable sharing.
This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.

It doesn't matter how careful any of these politicians think they will be. X generates over 6,000 abusive images *per hour*
Sooner or later, regardless of intentions, some of those images WILL wind up on their hard drives. Nobody will give a fuck about their excuses then, either.

Over a week since I emailed my representatives. As I predicted, nothing from FF and FG but silence and complicity. The one Shinner rep said they'd stopped using X a while ago. Better, but if you're not actively fighting your party leader about staying on the CSAM site, better's not good enough.
If the platform enabling the creation of child sexual abuse images is not enough for SF, FF and FG to leave the platform, what is? www.thejournal.ie/x-grok-irish...

Fine Gael giving the game away by saying X is too important for communicating with the press. X isn't a useful platform for sharing information with the public and hasn't been for a long time. its active users in Ireland are a fraction of a fraction of Facebook, Instagram or TikTok
TDs of all political stripes in Leinster House are in agreement that the generation of non-consensual sexual images is wrong and should not happen, but they differ on how the State, and they as individual politicians, should respond to it.
