Glad for the opportunity to testify at this important shadow hearing.
The Trump administration's mass deportation agenda isn't making our communities safer.
As @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social told @padilla.senate.gov, it's making our communities LESS safe.

hypothetically, if fucking a dog meant that there would definitely be 2026 elections, i would ask how you know the causality of that relationship, because if you can't explain how it verifiably does+will work, i gotta be real with you, it just sounds like you're looking for permission to fuck a dog.
Hypothetically. If complimenting trump meant that there would definitely be 2026 elections and the Dems would sweep Congress in a landslide , would you compliment Trump ?
Or, Is is that thought so abhorrent, you couldn’t bring yourself to do it. Even at the expense of staying the minority?

They didn't attempt a violent coup because of the left. They aren't destroying US science & academia because of the left. They're not embracing open racism & nazi ideology because of the left.
They are adults, making choices, doing things of their own volition, and they bear the responsibility.

Another possible explanation: millions of dumb, selfish people were deliberately lied to by a billionaire-funded right-wing propaganda apparatus with the explicit goal of enraging them & hurting the Dem administration.
Dumb, selfish people believed lies. Doesn't that ring a little more true?

In 1908 Lewis Hine took photos of Carolina cotton mills calling attention to child labour, including Irish migrants. Five years earlier, the Underwoods sold stereoscopic (3D) images of the same Carolina scenes - as well as stereos of Belfast capturing the explosion of textile industries in Ireland.

This is probably the funniest point Yudkowsky has made since the ever-hilarious Roko’s Basilisk and he’s not entirely wrong. Kind of love to see consumers abandoning fanatic loyalty to brands for (checks notes) fanatic loyalty to overstuffed text-completion algorithms that can roleplay

chatgpt is much like an improv comedy group
1) you are the audience, giving it prompts
2) it produces things roughly shaped like your prompt
3) it is trained to respond with Yes, And
4) it has the factual accuracy of improv
5) it does not understand comedy

LeGuin wrote about the desire for 'unassailable safety' as one of the deep roots of evil, and I think about that a lot.
We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.
