Folks who tell you that it’s okay to temporarily sacrifice a marginalized group in order to win

Do not care about the marginalized group

Doesn't take long for escaped hogs to go feral, either. Some of Mom's people used to slaughter hogs and one of the uncles used to hunt razorbacks every now and then. He was sort of well-known in the area for being the right kind of alert to do the job.

I'm scared of pigs for a reason!

i have met a number of pigs, including pigs i later went on to eat (we have small farmers in our family) and quite frankly, getting to know pigs has made me feel even less bad about eating them

they would 100% eat us if given the chance

There are dome really horrifying passages in this, like how many people the author knows who, like her, rely on ChatGPT for relationship advice.

And yeah, if I was the guy in this, I’d be so outta there.

He said, she said, it said: I used ChatGPT as a couple's counselor. How did we fare?

Looking for backup, I turned to an AI chatbot for relationship wisdom. It took my side. It was only when I challenged the bot's biases — and my own — that we had a communication breakthrough.

We definitely did some carefully shaving and trimming when our parents ordered certain parts/cuts of pork. I had to go vegan for a while after because it the bits looked too human and I'd been in anatomy classes.

Cooked up very nicely, tho 😅

Several times a year, I get a few bucks from some settlement because a company failed in protecting my information. I haven't had to pay for credit record protection in several years.

Every couple of days, some government official's "secure" info gets released in a news story.

Nope. NOPE.

Excerpts from article (Leslie Vooris; LA Times) read:

“Tilly is not a person, not a performer, not even a flawed human being struggling toward art. It is a coded composite, a computerized ideal of cinematic beauty. It can be programmed to pout and cry but never to feel.”

“Supporters of Tilly Norwood describe it as the future of film because it is controllable, tireless and freakishly forever young.”

“An actor is an artist. An AI ‘actor’ is an asset. Tilly is designed to ‘perform’ only what its programmers and managers decide. It has no agency, only branding. SAG-AFTRA has already warned that AI models are built on the backs of countless human performances, without consent or compensation - which of course is not true innovation but a kind of creative thievery.”

No one should have to choose between their life and their rights. And instead of shaming people for not making the choice we want, let's make it so they don't have to make that choice at all.

Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."
