I think the problems in the USA started with the idea that your health, your salary and even your pension is directly bound to your ideas. It's so easy getting ruined just by what you say, apparently. It's impossible to ask for some kind of revolution: it would never work. Social democracies FTW!!

We're in a moment where "GenAI" is being used to create "revenge porn" aimed at women and girls (effectively CSAM) with no consequences. The response has been to suggest that women and girls stop posting pictures online altogether- which is tantamount to saying "the public(s) are not for you."

Russia's full-scale invasion has now lasted 1,417 days, matching its WWII participation. Soviet forces reached Berlin and took it in that time, while Russia's army "heroically" advanced 60 km from Donetsk to Pokrovsk, with losses per square kilometer exceeding Stalin-era records.

Oh don't you worry comrade. They will certainly deserve exactly the same respect and decency you provide to Ukrainian POWs

The story of Europe’s economic decline while US is 'soaring' is everywhere.

But it is wrong. It is a myth.

Europe delivers more leisure, longer life expectancy, less inequality than the US.

Gabriel Zucman dismantles the myths.
Decline, what decline? The myth of dying Europe
There is a widespread view that, by comparison with the USA, Europe is in economic and social decline. But, Zucman argues, it's not true

A real news outlet publishing the phrase "Grok apologized" should result in like a week-long timeout. Think about what you've done.

this is the simple answer to people who keep saying NATO expansion matters. Sure, it matters because it presented an obstacle to Russian imperial ambitions. Putin didn't invade because he hated NATO expansion, he hated NATO expansion because he wanted to invade

The only thing putin and the russians should be allowed to negotiate, is the amount of money they will have to refund the damages in Ukraine with. Nothing else. And go home the way they came.

OTD in 1994 Russia signed the Budapest memo, guaranteeing Ukraine's territorial integrity in exchange for their nukes, 44 Ukrainian Tu-22 heavy bombers and 1,068 Kh-55 cruise missiles.

Which have been fired at Ukraine in this war.

The fact that so many different people just glide over Ukraine's views, essentially granting them no agency, is one of the great under appreciated facts of this war.

It's why everyone, your master strategist included, is so swivel eyed with wonder when they remind us they have it.

I do think a11y is a weak spot of current AI models, and I think that they will get better over time. But I remain deeply skeptical that we’ll reach a point anytime soon where someone without domain knowledge can compete in the job market. The advantage for knowing this stuff is so big.
