It really is funny watching AI people talk about AI as intelligence. Like Jim Henson telling everyone on Sesame Street how scared he is of "the thing that lives in the can."

There needs to be another split in Western philosophy over whether your head is in the clouds or up your own ass.
“She compares her work to the efforts of a parent raising a child. She’s training Claude to detect the difference between right and wrong while imbuing it with unique personality traits.”
This Philosopher Is Teaching AI to Have Morals
The tech company has entrusted the philosopher to endow its chatbot with a sense of right and wrong.

Well, I’m doing it. I was unsure about moving to Gotham City but then I saw a job open up for chemical plant night guard… I applied and was hired immediately! Nervous but excited!

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.

After dropping his hair dryer in the tub he insisted by installed on Air Force One, the internal electrical system briefly went offline and President Donald Trump passed away, shitting "at least four pounds worth" into. Reached for comment, Melania Trump said "Who iss Dunald?"

They care more about this than any of the recent massacres of children because they see dead pundits as people and dead kids as content.
The pundit freak out is the suddenly feel like they’re targets now, they see the public is gonna just shrug at it, and they’re confronted with the monster they made. I don’t like it but welcome to abjection guys come on in the waters warm.

Saying what those in power want you to say should not be awarded money or status. Opinion columnist is not a real job.

Not "far left" enough. Every day some opinion columnist (derogatory) thinks that in order for actual leftist actors to win, they need to stop being left in their politics. The extreme stance is not to defund the police, but to keep funding the police as they are now. DTP = rational.

this is the ur- falsehood of our political era and everything from "schools shouldn't have locked down during covid" to "trans women in sports is a national crisis" are downstream of it and the through line of all of them is national media's willfull ignorance and complicity

at no point did we defund the police. it's important when we talk about defunding the police to note it never actually happened. would it work? we don't know! but merely phrasing the idea succinctly incited a reactionary backlash that put fascists in charge of all 3 branches of government. curious!
While I think in many ways Nate Silver is an idiot, there is a lot about far left progressivism that is a complete turn off to many centric Democrats and left leaning Republicans. It makes it more difficult for us to win elections.
We can begin with “defund the police.“
