I hate the Nazgûl’s treatment of the hobbits as much as you do but the security of Middle Earth is critical in this age. I believe we can strike a balance between the rights of Shire residents and black land border enforcement with proper training and funding.

Xitter doesn't have a CEO or visible senior execs; the head of safety last posted in October; the comms team is a snide auto-responder. Meanwhile Musk has spent the last few days blithely fashposting and yuk-yucking without acknowledging what's going on. So the reporters hallucinated a story. (2/2)

This is quite literally the job of an academic. Also, LLMs don’t do this either! It regurgitates what it statistically calculates as the most likely outcome. Stochastic parrots all the way down!

I am so sick of this naive analysis that treats racism as an aspect of identity.
Expressions of racial animus are *behavior*. It is not “writing off a segment of the working class” to condemn *changeable behaviors*, and socialism does not require endorsing every behavior every working person does.

There's a timeline where foreign adversaries turn American weapons back against their owners after deceiving the controlling AIs with poetic allusion. I just want to say that if the concept of poet-warrior bards makes a comeback, I'm okay with that.
