Found the paper. When I went looking for it on Twitter just now, I discovered that people are still on that nonsense over there, and antivaxxers have decided that mRNA covid vaccines are giving people prion disease, so that's fun

a lot of falsehoods are getting repeated about b) by people who rightly believe a), and it doesn't help credibility.
a) The social harms of AI are vastly under-appreciated and go far beyond displacement of labor
b) The environmental harms of AI, though not trivial, are nevertheless small potatoes compared to many other industries like farming (and AI demand may even help accelerate electrical grid upgrades)

Anand Giridharadas' discussion of the Epstein emails as a record of the thought and conduct of white mail elites is the best writing on this subject I have seen in the last several weeks. Read it.

How the expletive deleted are people still on the covidaids conspiracy theory bullshit? Rhetorical question, and if they were to acknowledge the t-cell depletion and rebound being similar to the flu, they might have to acknowledge that they keep spreading flu misinformation too.
this paper goes out of its way to dump innuendo implying that COVID causes immunodeficiency comprable **TO HIV** yet nowhere does it mention that the t-cell depletion [and rebound] is comprable between covid and the flu www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
COVID-19 is “Airborne AIDS”: provocative oversimplification, emerging science, or something in between?
Immune dysfunction and systemic effects in HIV and SARS-CoV-2 infections are distinct, but share relevant similarities and downstream consequences. We…

New — I wrote about the myriad ways journalism’s moral rot manifests, and how our crumbling institutions have created the conditions for it to fester:
Moral rot in elite journalism is killing the whole field
The Nuzzi/RFK Jr. mess and the revelation of Esptein's journo pals lay bare a profound moral absence at the heart of our free press.

this is interesting in part because this is, uh, not the young guns.
Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."
They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

The only thing funnier is that, in the full clip, she was pointing to them b/c she said she hosted them (1) LAST WEEK for (2) a Free Press debate (3) about guns!
These were who she highlighted to illustrate that it's important "who's in the room" to have a "good-faith, very passionate" debate.

Don’t know what’s funnier—calling Alan Dershowitz, a man at war with multiple farmers markets—“charismatic,” or throwing it back to Dana Loesch who no one has even thought about since 2018
"elevate charismatic figures such as Alan Dershowitz"
