I find it frustrating that the left has been characterized as more prone to scolding when the right’s entire culture is built on an openly insidious kind of scolding

Maybe a stupid question but is there a reason Claude AI went with Kurt Vonnegut’s drawing of an asshole from Breakfast of Champions for its logo?

Please do not give your medical data to any AI company.
Elon posted this yesterday. Just for fun I did it with my before/after cancer PET scans that I had already posted online. In the "before" scan Grok missed the massive tumor lighting up my liver, and in both scans it flagged a non-existent "area of concern" in my chest. Other than that, works great!

most of the churches in Indy inside i-465 have like a rainbow flag or something that says "all are welcome"
once again: much like Reform UK thinking that its base is 30 year old young workers, the city-dwelling working young mother is almost assuredly a strong democrat, even the religious one

I'll probably read this today, but my guess is the left naturally recognizes the inherent harms and dangers of modern AI, which overshadow any intrinsic good of AI technology. At least that's the story for me, the AI guy who studied AI for over a decade
is there a technology that "the left" is excited about?

The left is missing out on AI
As a movement, it has largely refused to engage seriously with AI, ceding debate about a threat and opportunity to the right

City design - not personal motivation- is the key factor behind people walking more
Want to walk more without trying? Move here
Researchers found that walkable city design—not personal motivation—was the key factor behind people taking 1,100 more steps per day

Look we gave you 3 to 7 seconds and you still aren’t happy? Yeah that guy ran a red and turned into you and hit you and fled and it’s on video with witnesses and we aren’t doing anything except giving 3-7 more seconds to get hit and you still aren’t satisfied?
If you’re at a downtown intersection and you push a crosswalk button, you may notice the walk signal three to seven seconds before the light turns green in any direction. This is called a Leading Pedestrian Interval or LPI.
Traffic signal feature gives pedestrians, bicyclists 'a few extra seconds in the crosswalk'

I think one of the best things about Bluesky and one of the things that is going to keep it from ever becoming as big as other sites is that everyone here has a real internal mistrust and dislike of people selling us something, either literally for money or for some sort of other gain
I think Bluesky is currently the best social media platform for keeping misinformation to a minimum, maybe because it’s not popular enough to be a target yet
Half the shit my friends, including fellow academics, share on Facebook is made up crap that they believe is real
Threads is atrocious too

DHS is holding a 2-month-old BABY at a detention facility in Texas.
Last night, Juan Nicolás was rushed to the hospital after choking on his own vomit & being unable to breathe.
This demands accountability — not a blank check for more cruelty.
