we must do purity tests against the people do have ethical concerns about the usage of llms, for they are simply doing purity tests against us! and that’s wrong!
39/ This isn’t a purity test. It’s a *metamodern* purity test—meaning it’s at once a purity test, the exact opposite of that, *and* something else altogether. All three things. Only by paradoxically jettisoning those who put their personal purity tests ahead of America can we fight for a pure ideal.
seth’s wildly imperfect ally: sam altman and peter thiel
37/ So I’m making my choices now. I have been for weeks, in fact. I’m accepting wildly imperfect allies. I’m trying to lose myself in activism in ways I’ve talked about and ways I haven’t because they’re personal. And yes, I’m distancing myself from people who harm the cause out of their own vanity.

Yeah, the last year has really made clear who understands trench activism and who uses activism as personal therapy
trench activism guys. it’s trench activism to be a fuckin wanker and beat your meat over ai being soooo ethical to use in these scary fascist times

Immigrants apparently have unlimited free time in which we must be mentoring, volunteering, and generally doing a bunch of stuff that people born here are absolutely free to not engage in
Girl, I have five jobs. When am I meant to be doing this?
Haven’t read the report yet but this looks to me like another example of adding yet more makework to the immigration process for unclear reasons other than possibly getting mentioned in Politico Playbook.

Watching the sumo and some of these people who have paid for front row are WEARING THEIR SHOES ON THE CUSHIONS?
I am so fucking sorry but if you can't even be respectful what the fuck are you doing down the front? You clearly don't need to be there???
wait hang on i’m using the same tv lol. same tv from the mid-2000s, on a grey plastic tub, with a kenwood hi-fi from the 90s on top of a knockoff snap-on tool cabinet.
also the setup is quaint, i watch hasan and yes, even sports on a both shittier and more technically advanced setup.
a leftists head would explode if they had to consume miller lites and marlboro reds. rightly, because reds are shite. golds are the smokable marlboro.
A leftist's head would explode if they had to watch sports with such an incredibly shitty setup
