Artificial intelligence may exceed human intelligence, but can it exceed dog intelligence?
LLMs only know language. Dogs don't have language. I don't see any AIs on track to make all the tiny nonverbal decisions needed for a dog to exist and survive in the world.

It sucks being an Xennial music fan because now all the rock stars from the 70s are dying, and we already went through all the rocks stars from the 90s dying in the 90s.

Maybe Sora is just an elaborate way for Sam Altman to get away with crimes on film, because nobody will believe any footage with the first guy to offer up his face to be used in any fake video.

Would be a real shame if the first AI actor became the first AI murder when someone takes a magnet to Tilly Norwood's servers.

I keep hearing about constitutional amendments. Maybe they should do another amendment that says if a president goes to war against his own people, he’s not president any more.

We should build a society where people can’t use guns for murder no matter who they are, and people can’t get murdered with guns no matter who they are.
The only “side” that matters is supporting the one that wants to do that (currently the left). The leanings of victims and shooters? Who cares.

I condemn all political violence, and the people who promote and enable political violence, even if they are themselves victims of political violence.

Just so we’re clear, Charlie Kirk shouldn’t be shot down while talking and kids shouldn’t be shot down in classrooms. It’s that easy. However, a lot of powerful people are okay with both things, so here we are, surrounded by bullets, blood, thoughts, and prayers.
