This is the dark side of "move fast and break things." AI, like social media, needs guardrails, but because tech bros want to do whatever they want and have supported the political party that won't regulate them, here we are.

Always worth taking a moment to remind you if you’re pirating authors’ book you’re a shitty person. You can rail that our profession isn’t a profession all you want. You can paint yourself as an online revolutionary liberating ideas. It’s all bullshit.

You’re just a shitty person who hates writers.

Good. It’s why we speak up.
The U.S. Coast Guard issued a more stringent policy on hate symbols, prohibiting “divisive or hate symbols or flags.”

The change came hours after The Post reported that the service would instead classify such symbols as “potentially divisive.”
In reversal, Coast Guard again classifies swastikas, nooses as hate symbols

This is heartbreaking
KEEP SHARING YOUR STORIES about increased ACA premiums due to the disappearance of subsidies. The stories clearly are having an impact, they help people feel less helpless, and they create solidarity that leads to action.
